ole In Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. June 7.-This week promises
to be prolific in Developments In the Bardslsy
and Keystone Bank matters
II is said that the experts examining Bsrds-
ley's affairs have in their possession all OF his
check books. cancelled checks. and private ac-
counts, and will thus be able to trace oil OF the
missing State and city funds.
District Attorney Graham will present to
the Grand Jury tomorrow. bills Of Indictment
against Bardsley charging him with tho en-
bezzlement OF $780, 900 OF city money and over
100000 belonging to the State.
The charge Of perjury in violating his oath
OF office will be dropped for the reason that no
record Of his having been sworn In can be
found 10 the Prothonotary's office, where 1t
should be on file had he been sworn.
The only oath Bardsley took was one with
reference to his duties toward the State under
the act OF Assembly OF 1854. This act has
been nulliled by the new charter under which
the municipality Is now operating. and the
oath taken is therefore void.
The opinion is general that Bardsley. on en-
terinR upon the duties Of the offlce Of City
Treasurer. did not take an oath to faithfully
administer the affairs Of that offlce. Whether
the omission was intentional or accidental Will
probably never be definitely known.
The meetings Of the Counoilmanio Commit
tee. which ie inquirinR into Bardsley's admin
istration Of his Office and his connection with
the Keystone Bank are expected to result IN
important developments.
1t Is understood that Postmaster General
Wanamaker will appear before the committee
tomorrow and answer any questions that may
be put to him with reference to his knowledge
Of keystone Bank affairs.
Other witnesses who will appear during the
week are Auditor General McCsmant. to whom
Bardsiey made report ofthe amounts collected
by him on behalf Of the Commonwealth; and
John Dobson and James Dobson. who were
on Bardsley's bond to the extent OF $4,000.
and to whom Bardsley assigned his private
estate after he had resigned.
The hunt for Marsh. the fugitive President
Of the Keystone Bank is kent up. All sorts OF
rumors as to his whereabouts are adoat. but

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 1s.-A hor-
rible tragedy occurred here today. s. VI.
Fugette, cashier of the South Chattanooga
savings bank, was shot and killed by his
father-in-law, Judge J. A. Warder, who is
city attorney of Chattanooga Judge
Warder is shot in two places, one ball
penetrating his breast at the right nipple
and the other took off the index finger OF
tine left hand. Mrs. Fugette is the only
child OF Judge Warder and is shot in the
right thigh, very dangerous wound.
From the evidence at the coroner's in
quest it appears that Judge Warder came
home at l o'clock in a very drunken con-
dition and Immediately went to Mr.. and
Mrs. Fugette's room where the shooting
took place as soon as he entered. Mr.
and Mrs. Fugette lived with Judge and
Mrs. Warder on Colege-st. There
were seven shots fired, five
by Judge Warder and two by Mr..
Fugette. 1t appears Mr.. Fugette was the
first .person shot and Fugette then fell
dead, shot through the heart. He was
found with a newspaper in one hand and
a pistol with two empty chambers in
the other. Mrs. Fugette was lying over
him with her arms entwining him pit
eOusly crying for some one to save him
Judge Warder staggered into a neighbor's
house and is now there in precarious
condition. Mrs. Fugette is a'so unable to
speak and what took place in the room
aside frOm the shooting is not known.
From evidence before the coroner's jury
it appears that Judge Warder frequently
came home drunk and abused his wife
and daughter and the women would ap-
peal for protection to Mr.. Fugette. Such
a trouble occurred late Saturday night
and Mr.. Fugette quieted his father-in law
Mr.. and Mrs. Fugette have been married
but two years, have been living happily
together and have a five-months' -old
baby.
Mr.. Fugette was young man of about
thirty years Of age, popular and success
full business man. Mrs. Fugette is very
handsome woman. Judge Warder is one
of the best known lawyers in this state.
For six years he was L. S. district at
torney for the middle district of Tennessee,
appointed by President Hayes. He was a
brave, gal ant union soldiera is one ofthe
most prominent of republican politicians
in this state. lie owns considerable prop
erty, and has a large lucrative practice in
this city. He is man OF the highest
culture, of most polished and affable mau-
ners. His domestic affairs were always
supposed to be of the happiest. The affair
has created a great sensation here, and
the opinion seems to be general that it
was the result of a crazy drunk.
