A SECRET NO LONGER
Ex-Cashior Lawrence Makes a
Confession i'm Prison.
EXPOSING THE BANK FRAUDS.
he Tells How Easily it Was to Deceive
the Examiner.

Un:olds the Methods Pursued by Omcials
to Rob the Keystone Bank of Philadel-
phia--The Operations Carried ON for
Twelve Years--Almost Impossible to De
tect the Fraudulent Transactions.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28.-Charles Law
renee, the assistant cashier of the Key
stone National Bank, who Is undergoing
a sentence of seven years imposed by
Judge Butler, more than a week ago in
the United States District Court, has
made full confession.
Since his confinement in the Eastern
penitentiary the disgraced official has
been doing some thinking and has come to
the conclusion that it was his duty to tell
all he knew, and how the frauds were
perpetrated in the Keystone Bank.
Lawrence, it seems, placed the confess
sion in the hands Of his counsel, who, by
the request of the prisoner, turned it
over to ex-Bank Examiner Drew. The
confession is represented as being most
remarkable document, inasmuch as 1t
fully unfolds the method pursued by the
bank officials to deceive the examiner and
all others having anything to with the
government and the institution.
1t sets forth that from 1880 down tc
about the time of the closing of the bank
in March, 1891, methods were adopted tc
deceive the keenest official
From what is said of the document, q
state Of affairs existed that was marvel
GUS, and that the means employed for de
ception could only be suggested and the
fraudulent transactions carried on only
by shrewd men. The confession fully de-
scribes everything. and when made known
will be read with interest by every bank
official.
Nothing has been held back, and the
revelations, while astounding, were O.
such a character that it was possible
for the guilty parties to continue theil
operations for series of years without
being detected.

WEATHER PROPHET HICKS accuses
