Special to THE MORNING CALI

PHILADELPHIA, June 9-John BardseY.
ex-City Treasurer, was arraigned this morn
ing on seventeen separate indictments.
charging him with loaning money as pub
lie officer, deriving gain from the deposit of
public money, and converting the public
money to his own use. He pleaded guilty
to every count. Two weeks from to-day is
set for the hearing OF the evidence, when
the Court will pronounce sentence accord
ing to its weight.
While arguing for two weeks delay, the
counsel for Bardsley said that he was pre-
pairing a statement for Bardsley and it
would take most of that time to get it ready.
This caused a revival of the rumor that
Bardsley intends to make a confession Of
everything.
Before the subcommittee investigating
Bardsley's affairs to-day, Mark Davis,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Brad
ford Mills. owned by him aud Bards-
ley, testified that from January, 1899,
to May 1891, Bardsley sent him S46,-
600 to be used in the business. He had
no reason 70 suspect that this money did not
belong to BardSley, as in three years Bards-
ley had given him $4,000 for the same
purpose.
Charles Lawrence, ex-Assistant Cashier
of the Keystone Bank, testified that hs
knew nothing of Bardsley's transactions
with the bank or due-bills for S930,O0
given him. Three years ago Lncas, the
deceas sed President of the bank, called upon
him to make some alterations In his per-
sonal ledger to cover an overdraft From
this time on until Lucas death he contin-
ued to make these alterations. Lucas draw
ing checks on the bank when he had no
money on deposit. The witness and Marsh
made every effort to keep from Bank Ex-
aminer Drew, by means of false entries,
ETC., all knowledge of Lucas deficit.
John S. Davis, who was offered the pres
idency of the bank in the event of its re-
organization and declined after an exami-
nation of its affairs, said that after learning
about the Lucas deficit, which the bank
people said was $500. 900, his attention was
attracted by the names of persons unknown
TO him as business men who were also
credited with being indebted to the bank.
Some of this indebtedness was about
$4,000 and when he asked who these
people were he was told the money should
be charged against the Lucas deficit.
