the public. Our statement. therefore. OF Sept.
10, was made upon evidence then uncontro-
verted. Subsequently, for the purpose OF assur-
ing public confidence in the bank and in full
faith that the accuracy OF our former statement
would be demonstrated we requested the super
intendent of banking TO send his experts TO
make a thorough Investigation of all the
affairs of the bank. These gentlemen
commenced work on Tuesday morning last. and
after laboriOus work, they unrayeed scheme
for the Justification Of the books heretofore un-
know in the history OF the banking department,
and which for series OF years has batfied the
skilled examiners o. several successive superin-
tendents and deceived the employees IN
the bank and the treasurer and
assistant treasurer. Late last night. at the re-
quest OF the superintendent the board OF trustees
met and he stated that as far as the examlna-
ton had progressed it had been found that
board knowing of the defalcation excepting the
amount as stated, until informed OF the discov-
cry of the amount by the examiners. To meet
this we had surplus of about $25O.000. as
heretofore stated. the bonds of our defaulting
officers and large equities in real estate. But
these were not deemed sufficient TO mako good
the loss, and in the interest OF all deposTors 1t
was determined To turn over the bank and its
assets to the state department at once.
1t was stated on the street to-day that
after it's affairs are wound uD the bank will
pay depositors 10 cents on the dollar.
The Ulster County Savings Institution
was Incorporated by an act of the Legisla-
ture April 12. 1851. James Z. Ostrander
was appointed treasurer In 1867, and held
the office from then until the defalcation
became known, about two weeks ago, when
he was dismissed. Matthew L. Trumpbour,
son of the first treasurer of the bank, was
made assistant treasurer about the time Mr.
Ostrander was made treasurer. He con-
timed in that position until his arrest last
night.
The trustees of the Kingston Savings
Bank, whose banking house is on Wall
street almost opposite the closed bank. heid
meeting early this morning, and took pre-
cautionary measures to meet anv run which
might be made upon them. The run was
quite heavy all day. there being long line
of depositOrs. ho were paid as fast as pos
slble. Should the run continue on Monday
the bank truseees will probably compel
the giving of the sixty days notice by de-
positors. The trustees of this institution
claim the bank can pay its depositors in
full.
