Martin b. waller, the Victim or .
Sensational story, Make. n state.
ment-uis Prolonged Absence Due
to Illness.
New LONDON, Conn, July 20.-Martin
B. Waller, treasurer of the Long Island
Brick company, who has been the victim
of sensational story in which he was
charged with stealing thousands of dol
lars belonging to the company, made q
statement this evening. He said: GAS
stated in the ridiculous story about me,
most of my time since January last has
been spent in Brooklyn, but in the service
of the company. June % I went to Brook
lyn with the expectation of returning to
Greenport in a few days. Business, fol-
lowed by sickness, led to my prolonged
stay. During that time L sent a number
of kilograms to Mr.. Sage, president of the
company, but neglected. to inform
him of my address. This oversight / can
only attribute to my illness and
perhaps constitutional carelessness. There
was never any suspicion on the part of Mr..
Sage or of any one in the management of
the company that had embezzled the
company's funds. On the contrary, fhare
Is balance due me on my salary. or
course the sensational article in the news
papers were tremendous shock to me. On
reading 1t Sunday morning immediately
telegraphed to my father and Mr.. Sage. 1
met my father, who was en- route to De-
troit, at New York Sunday night, and then
took the first train home to New London
to see my mother. I will go to Greenport
tomorrow"

FOR FALSE IMPRIsoNMENT.

william mcNair, Who Was Impris-
oned on tho Charge OF Being n De-
serter from the White Squadron,
VIII Sue the Navy Department for
$25, 700 Damages.
NEW YORK, July 20.-William McNair,
of No. 80 Newcomb street, Boston, sea-
man, through his counsel, Benjamin F.
Butler, will sue the navy department for
$25, 900 damages for false imprisonment.
McNair's story, if true, shows a fragrant
abuse of authority on the part of the Off
GERS of the White squadron, of which Ad-
miralWalker is chief in command. 1t seems
that during the recent visit of the squad
ron to Boston numerous assertions oc-
CURED and strenuous efforts were made by
the officers of the feet to capture the
offenders. McNair, who was till recently
seaman on board Charles Paine's yacht
Volunteer, wore the uniform in which the
sailors of the Volunteer were clothed,
which happens to be in many respects
similar to that worn in the United States
navy. This caused him to be arrested no
less than five times as deserter.
On the first four occasions he was released
after a brief period, but the fifth
time on July 13 he was held and taken to
New York Before his departure he told
the officers who he WAS and where he was
employed and asked that persons be sent
for to identify him. The officers, how
ever, treated his case in q high-handed
manner, and brought him to New York
against his vigorous protest and without
giving him any chance whatever to prove
bis identity, On his arrival here he was
taken from one ship to another of the
feet, but no one could identify him as
missing from any of the crews. He was
finally taken to the Chicago, where he was
kept confined until to-day, when he was
released. He complains of generally rough
treatment He left for home tonight and
will put his case in the hands of General
Butler.

Another Bank Failure.

EoRr WORTH, Texas, July 20.-The Aer-
chants National bank bya vote of the
directors closed its doors this merning and
the bank was placed in the hands of Bank
Examiner Spaulding. Assets, 81 500, 900;
liabilities, $500, 900. The trouble began
six months ago when rumors caused a
heavy withdrawal of 5000, 900 within if
teen days, of which $s5, 900 was taken out
by foreign loan companies on account Of
the alien land law. Spaulding says the
bank is solvent and that the depositors
and creditors will be fully protected. A
movement is on foot to reorganize the
bank underline new law. Other banks
rendered aid, but the directors concluded
best to take the course they did. No 9th
| er banks are affected and little excitement
| is exhibited over the suspension.

TIE BARNABY MYSTERY.

District Attorney Stevens of Denver
Interviewed in Reference to the
Case-He Considers the Case Against
DIR. Graves Very Strong.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 20.-District
Attorney Isaac N. Stevens of Denver, Col,
arrived in this city this evening on veca
ton. He was interviewed regarding the
case against DR.. T. Thatcher Graves for
the murder of Mrs. J. B. Barnaby. He
said that from the outset there had been
nothing on which to base real suspicion
against the Worrells and that the Califor-
MIA stories were altogether fictitious. He
said that DR.. Graves had been induced to
come to Denver by careful plan, and that
| the doctor had fallen into the trap COM
pletely. Miss Hanley, he said, was living
at Denver with the family of client of
Judge ;Furman; DIR. Graves attorney, and
was kept under sharp surveillance by DR..
Graves friends. The poison remaining in
| the bottle is in Chicago, at the Rush Med
ical college, and Mr.. Stevens said he be-
lieved it would be found that the bottle
never contained whiskey at all. The case
of the state, he said, was undoubtedly q
| very strong one. 800
