WHAT Mr.. LELAND HAS DONE.
A Statement from tho president of the
Union Trust Company.
INV teIa0rapb 70 the Dispatcn.l

New YoRK. February 1.-President Ed
ward King, Of the Union Trust Company,
made O statement this afternoon as fol-
lows:
desire to state that in my opinion no
one who knows Leland could question his
entire good faith and honesty Of purpose
in the matter of the sale OF stock of the
Sixth National Bank. OF course as far as
le!al rights are concerned "a the owner OF
the stock he felt that he had the right TO
dispose Of it at such times and for such
prices as might suit his own views. lie
feels. however, that an error of judgment
was committed by him in not receiving
sufficient assurances as to the standing and
capability of the persons to whom he sold,
although at the time he did sell he had
perfect faith that they were as represented
10 him. and that therefore through this
want of possible care on his part innocent
parties have been placed in position to
suffer loss. hence as q man of integrity and
honor he feels that 1t Is proper tor hlm 20
do all in his power to. save them from
the consequences of his act. He sent
for me last evening and requested
me TO do what / could TO assist hum in
effectlng this object. The FIRST thing to be
done is 20 pay the depositors in full and
this is in process of arrangement. Leland
has handed me blank check TO my order
10 be filled out for such amount as I deem
necessary in order TO guarantee the payment
in full of the depositors of the Tank. and
at the suggestion of Mr.. Tappan, who has
taken a very kind and effective interest in
this matter, have filed It out for $500
600 and have deposited that sum IN the
(lallatin National Bank as guarantee TO
the syndicate which has been formed to
take the assets of the bank and to provide
for the immediate payment of the deposi-
tors, as soon as the necessary formalities
at Washington can be gone through with.
There remains then the minority stock
holders to be considered, and rs [ have
said Leland desires TO do all that a sensi-
tive man Of honor can do, and he said be
