thought he would so out sporting yesterday
and enjoy himself on the funds Of his en-
ployers.. but Policeman Frayser was too quick
for him, and the result was that instead Of
going down the river or off on drive he spent
the day in q small cell in the first precinct
station, where he could not even enjoy the sun
light.
Saturday night at IL o'clock his days work
was over and when the day clerk left Turner
followed shortly afterward. Mr.. Lawrence. the
night clerk, WAS called upon to fill a prescrip-
ton soon after he reached the store and while
he was thus engaged Turner said goodnight
and left.
In the store behind the counter WAS a tin box
IN which the money of the firm was kept after
banking hours, and with Turner this box disap-
peared.
fohceman Frayser was in front OF the
store about the time that Mr.. Lawrence made
the discovery and complaint was made TO him
OF what had occurred. The officer went to the
house of a colored girl whom Turner visited
the Charge, but afterward he admitted his guilt
and told where he had hidden portion of the
money, beneath stone in the alley near the
girl s house. The officer lifted the stone from
disposition and beneath it he found Sl54, which
was about S15 short of the amount in the box
when 1t was taken. The officer was unable to
find the balance of the money. Turner was
locked up on a charge of grand larceny and
will be given a trial in the Police Court to-
morrow.

A Dramatic Scene at the Cyclorama OF the
Big Horn Battle.
A tall, looking mar stood upon the
platform Of the cyclorama Of the battle of the
Big Horn at Detroit the other afternoon and
gazed long and earnestly upon the canvas.
The old man was feeble, aud as he leaned upon
the ropes for support hot tears coursed down
his furrowed cheeks. The other spectators in
his vicinity eyed him with mixed looks Of SYM
pathy and curiosity.
Presently small crowd Of survivors Of the
sixth cavalry. which was commanded by George
A. Custer during the war, came up the stairs.
Just as the cyclorama lecturer began to tell in
his monotone how Custer, his brothers, Tom
and Boston, and his brother-in-law, Lieut..
Calhoun, had been slaughtered at Big Horn by
the Sioux, the old man turned to 60, as though
the narrative had no special interest for him,
when one Of the veterans. Selling his hand, ex-
claimed:
why, old man, God bless YOU" Then, turn
ing to his comrades he calculated, "Boys, this
il George A Custer father"
Instantly the white-haired patriarch was sur
rounded by the boys in blue, struggling for the
privilege Of grasping his hand.

See after the shooting. See having received
them from Chester Fisher, who in turn took
them from Anderson and Baker in the road.
The weapons in the coroner's possession were
identified as the ones used. Barton said he
fred one shot into the river to get the hammer
down. The pistol was Anderson's, and he did
not at that time know that the shooting had
taken place.
Mrs. Baker took the stand, and in a quiet
manner described the shooting, as has alrt ady
been published. except that she was positive
that Anderson drew hispistol first, and that her
husband did not draw his until after three shots
had been fired Then he drew his revolver, but
did not fire. She denied calling Anderson
rebel and saving that he had done" her hus-
band this time. She was calm and collected
throughout her examination.
The jury found that Mr.. Baker was danger
ously wounded by pistol SHOT wounds, the
pistol being fired by Orville M.lAnderson. The
coroner then held Anderson for trial.
He exercised his right Of being arraigned
and pleaded not guilty t. the crime. He said
that he acted solely in self-defense. Miss
Lillian Anderson took the stand and denied
that she had told Mrs. Baker that her brother
meant Mr.. Baker harm, as had been related by

Ex-Bank Examiner Drew's Statement Of His
Connection With the keystone.

Ex-Bank Examiner Drew's Statement Of His
Connection With the keystone.
Ex-Benk Examiner William p. Drew last
night forwarded to Secretary of the Treasury
Foster a detailed statement Of his work in con-
nection with the Keystone National Bank. The
Statement is in vindication of himself, and deals
with the action of Controller of the Currency
Lacey in asking for his resignation, owing to
his omission in his January report of the con-
dition Of the Keystone Bank Of the clearing
house loan.
In relation to this omission Mr. Drew in his
statement says it was purely an oversight in
transcribing and not calculated of itself greatly
to mislead. He was not aware of the omission
until June %, when he received his papers in
the case; but the clearing house loan certif-
Gates were liabilities of an extraordinary ma
ture and known to the controllers Office to
have been issued to the Keystone National
Bank in November, 1880, and to have been
greatly increased in amount in December fol-
lowing by reason of run" on the bank. His
January report, Mr.. Drew says, was marked
preliminary" intimating that fuller and
more trustworthy report was to follow, and
which did follow with the omitted item in full
1t would have been fair, the statement saws
to the examiner that his consecutive reports
whether preliminary or not, particularly con-
corning a bank known to the controller to be
In an unsatlslactory, not W say petuous con-
ditiop, should be promptly and fully collated
in the controllers Office and all important dis
crepancies clearly pointed out at once.
The statement further comments upon the
fact that the omission was not discovered until
five months had passed. and that the unsatis-
factory condition Of the .keystone and Spring
Garden banks was called to the attention Of
the controller in 1880.
In conclusion Mr.. Drew says he believes he
has demonstrated that the omission in the
report referred to was largely supplied by the
letter transmitting it. when understood. or
could have been logically inferred from other
information in the controllers Office. and was
virtually without practical effect in governing
the department in its action toward the bank
in question.

An OLD LANDMARK PASSING AWAY.
Mr.. James A. Stoutenburg, builder, is tear
ing down the old brick building on the south
west corner of Wolfe and Columbus streets,
which was for long time the residence of
Mrs. A. X. Euans but has within the last few
years been occupied by Mr.. Norton Entwisle as
a grocery store. The demolition of the build
ing has exhibited the fact that it was, in part
at least, the oldest building in that section of
the'city. The walls contain bricks of various
sizes, and the arrangement of the rear build
ing, with benches worked into the wall, a
draining well, &c, showed that it was
punt for butchering establishment and that
one portion was used as a slaughter house. At
that time 1t is probable the built-up portion Of
the town was several squares distant 1t prob
ably supplied meat to the hospitals which were
located here during the revolutionary war. A
