How President Hni stois -Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars from the Ninth

New YoRE, April SO.-The exact
amount OF money that President John
T. Hill atols from the Ninth National
Bank from 1877 up to the lst Of March
last, the date Of his death, is $4OS. 900, as
shown by Bank Examiner Hepburn's
statement.

Hypocrisy was John 7. Hills pass key
to crime. His suRve, gentlemanly man.
ner deceived his business and personal
friends. Ever since he was installed in
the Presidency Of the Ninth National
Bank has been going down a hill that
that was literally creased by himself.
He had pot been in the chair q month
before he Impressed everyone under
him favorably. His cashier was piece
OF putty in his hands; his loan clerk
was loan clerk in name only,
Mr.. @. Henry Garden, the present
President OF the bank, had the most
implicit faith in the man. He even
made him executor OF his estate. Mr..
Garden said yesterday: "Itis fortunate
for my heirs that did not die tirst."
There is no danger OF run on the
bank now. Everything was quiet yes.
terday; in fact more money was taken
in than was paid ont. President Garden
reached the bank about D a. NJ. When
asked for an explanation Of the defalca.
tion, he whispered "Mr. Hill was the
Ninth National Bank" That statement
explained 1t all. The incts connected
with the building up CT the banks capi.
tai at the meeting Of the clearing house
common Tuesday evening was learned
late last night. 1t seems that they de.
aided TO advance the valuation Of the
Broadway building from S8420O0 to
S450,000.
The member of the committee has
also decided 10 put in as the banks as.
sets the southern boulevard real estate,
which they valued at $4,000, subject
to a $4,000 mortgage. Hills defalCa.
ton amounted to $40S,000. As'will be
seCn, this arrangement would even
things up. As has been explained, the
placing OF this real estate on the asset
side Of the banks ledger is contrary to
law. When one OF the directors was
asked ABOUT this yesterday he said that
he thought 1t was excusahle in an ex.
trense esse Of this kind. The directors
have agreed to buy in this real estate a,

Did Hill have an accomplice? That
question was asked q thousand times

CHICAGO, April SO.-The B. P. Hutch.

the Board OF Trade as suddenly as did
that erratic individual himself. Before
the opening OF trade this morning official
announcement was publicly made to the

sumed by @. B. Copgdon & 90. This
prompt action on the part Of Mr.. Hutch.

mated all speculation as to the aged
traders wanderings and his probable
fate or future course as to his open deals,
and put a decisive qutetus upon some
little cliques OF speculators who were
preparing To depress prices in wheat
and corn at the opening, so that every
thing opened rather firm and steady.
Frank Maginn, one Of Mr. Hutchinson's
confidential and most trusted brokers,
said this morning that allowing for the
margins already up, Mr.. HutChInson's
trades on the floor showed more profits
than loseses, in other words that his
open deals when settled would leave
him part Of the margins already up"
The members Of Mr.. Hutchinson's
family have thus far received no word
from him. His son Charles eaid this
morning that his father is in Florida,
and that he bad traced him as far as
Pensacola, and that detective had been
sent to find and follow him to guard
against accident. Young Mr. Hutchin-
son added that his father, as the result
OF an examination OF his affairs was
found to be thoroughly solvent Aside
from his open trades, which have been
transferred, he owes nothing TO speak Of,
and is well of.

Evidence Against the Member
Of Parliament.
THE SENSATIONAL EPISODE
Which Gave New Turn to the Case.
A Paris Woman swears the Cap.
tain Attempted to Brlbc Her
to Procure Young Girls.

LONDON, April SO.-At the Bow street
police court to-day the trial of Captain
E. Il. Verney, Member OF Parliament
for North Buckinghamshire, charged
with the procuration Of a governess,
Mics Nellie Beckett, for immoral pur-
poses, adjourned from Friday last, was
continued. The court room was crowded
with people OF all classes. Many letters
signed "Wilson," the name which Csp-
tain Verney is charged with assuming,
were identified as being in Captain
Verney's handwriting.
The hall porter OF fashionable club
testified to the effect that letters ad-
dressed to "wilson" we're duly for
warded at Captain Verney's request to
the latter's various addresses.
This testimony seemed to have con.
siderable effect upon the friends OF
Capt, Verney who were present in court
and the prisoners assurance seemed to
ba decidedly weakening, But this evi.
dence had mild effect In comparison
with the great sensation which was
caused in the police court when
woman named Louise Adeline, tho
keeper OF hotel situated in the Rua
LATTE, Paris, testified that Capt. Vsrney
had called on her seven or eight differ
ent occasions and asked her 10 procure
for him two or three girls, promising
her one hundred iraucs II she succeeded.
The witness added that in spite OF tho
Captains solicitations and inducsmenta
which he held forth, Bhe positively re-
fused to undertake the procuration
referred to. Capt. Verney was finally
held for trial and bail increased i:om
$4,000 10 $4,000.
Nine. Adeline, in giving her testi.
mony was positive in the Affirmative re-
plies she gavo to all questions addressed
to her as to her Identification OF Captain
Verney.
One OF the questions which the mag
istrate asked her was: "When Captain
Verney asked you to procure little girls
did he give you information as to what
purpose he desired them for?"
"yes." replied Nine. Adeline, che
said that he wanted them in order to
seduCe them, and that they must be vir.
tuous and chasto."
Nine. Adeline's last reply increased
the sensation, which her evidence had
caused among those who thronged the
court room.
