THE BARDsLEY AFFAIR.
Further Investigation by the Councils
Committee.

committee
PHILADELPHIA, July 20. The councils
committe inquiring into the affairs of
ex.City Treasurer Bardsley and the
keystone bank, held another meeting
this afternoon. The first witness was
Samuel. r. Huey. counsel for the estate
of John G. Lucas, late president of the
Keystone bank. Huey's statement
showed that the indebtedness of Lucas
to the bank, at the time of his death, in
1889, was $561 900, not 81 900 900, as has
been printed. This indebtedness, he
said, had been settled by his widow.
Huey produced letters and memo
randa which corroborated Postmaster
General Wanamaker's explanation of his
connection with the loan of 1000 he
had obtained for Lucas from the Girard
Trust company, the collateral furnished
being 1000 shares of Keystone bank
stock, which the certificate book showed
had been issued in Wanamaker's name,
but which that gentleman denied hav-
ing owned.
Huey said he questioned Marsh as to
the manner in which the over issue oc-
Cured, and the latter explained: "The
certificates were all genuine in that they
had been regularly taken from the certi.
ficate book and signed by the officers OF
the bank, but when the stock which
had been sold was bought in for transfer,
and new certificates issued, the old GER
tificates were not always cancelled, but
were sometimes thrown into drawer
and used again, if occasion required,
and this doubtless was the way in
which these certificates held by Wana-
maker had been used.'
''Of course, he added. "Wanamaker
knew nothing of this, and there is moth
ing on thesceytifcates to indicate any
irregularity.'
Colonel Mcclure, editor of the Times,
who had been mentioned in Bardsley's
statement, positively denied Bardsley's
charges.
A resolution was then adopted to hold
another meeting Friday, and subpoena
the presidents Of banks alleged to have
paid Bardsley interest, and also the
editors Of newspapers said to have paid
rebates on state advertising.
PrrTsBuRG, July 20.-Ex-State.T Treas
vrer Livsey today said he could not un-
derstand how his name came to be on a
stub in Bardsley's check book. He fatty
denied any business or other transac.

Boston, December IA. 1t seems to
be settled that the bomb-thrower who
tried to kill Russell Sage and Henry
L. Norcross are one and the same indi-
vidual. Additional evidence was
offered to the parents Of Norcross this
forenoon which removes all doubt from

James G. Pennycuck, President Of
the Alpha Manufacturing Company,
has an Office in the building where
Henry i. Norcross, the suspected
bomb-thrower, had an office. Two
weeks ago tomorrow Mr.. Pennycuck
went into his Office to write. About
noon he had occasion to go down the
corridor. When he returned he no
ticed that the door Of Mr.. Norcross'
Office was open. Going to the door, he
said:
Why, Henry, what are you doing
here to-daygp He answered: Ihave
been writing long letters. Have you
got any iron filings in your room9n
Mr.. Pennycuck answered that he had
none, and expressed surprise that Mr..
Norcross should want anything Of the
kind.
At the same time he suggested that
he could probably find some in the
room Of Mr.. White, Of the White Ele-
waited Railroad When Mr.. Pennycuck
went into the room Mr.. Norcross was
sitting at the desk, which was open.
AT the entrance Of his visitor he shut
the desk with a snap. When he was
asked what he wanted the filings for
he said that he wanted them for some

The photograph Of the head was
shown six persons in the building this
morning. Four Of them were confident
that he was the man. The two others
were equally sure that it was not the
man.
