TWO HONEST JOHNS.
Bardsley's Suppressed State
ment Involved Prominent
People.
Editor MeWade Read It as He
Got 1t From the Convicted
EmbeZzler,
Who, in a Late Letter, Denies
That He Made Such As
SertionS.
The Postmaster General, In
His Testimony, Makes an
Explanation.

PHILADELPHIA, July 10.-The sub
committee of the finance committee OF
the city council that is inQuiring into
the failure of the Keystone National
bank and the affairs of eX-City Treas
urer John Bardsley held protracted
session this afternoon. The main wit
nesses we're Robert NJ. McWade, city
editor of the Public Ledger; William
Y. Mexican, editOr-iH-chief of the same
paper, and Postmaster General Wanna
maker. The testimony of Mr.. McWade
and Mr.. Mexican had reference to two
statements obtained by the former from
Bardsley on June IS and 10, four days
before the accused city treasurer
made his public statement in court
when brought up for sentence.
Mr.. Wanamaker, after denying en-
phatically statements made by Bardsiey

severely on his (Wanamaker's actions
In connection with the Keystone banks
troubles, explained fully his connection
with the 2.G25 shares of Keystone bank
stock which the stubs in the certificate
book showed had been issued in Mr..
anamaker'S name. As at previous
meetings of the committee, the room
was crowded to SutfOcation with men,
many of them prominent IN the affairs
of the city. who stood attentive listeners
10 the testimony. Mr.. New ade was the
first witness. He said, in answer to
questions. that he went to the county
prison Thursday, June is, and inter-
viewed the imprisoned tX-clty treasurer.
BardsIey Talked Freely
aud understood that the interview was
for publication. He told Bardsley at
the beginning that, in view Of certain
charges that ne had made in the news
papers. ne thought it proper for him to
make a full statement, particularly as
to what became of the S945, 600 deposited
and which had disappeared, the charge
being made that it had been stolen.
After Mr.. McWade had written out the
first statement, he said a consultation
was held between Mr.. Mexican, himself
and another member of the editorial
force of the Ledger. and after full de-
liberation and discussion 1t was
decided not to publish it, because
strong reference, unsupported by
facts, was made to certain people.
Mr.. Mexican was not sworn. He said
that as editor of the Ledger he had
charge of the interview which Mr.. Nc
Wade had obtained. He said that be-
cause the statement implicated a num-
ber of reputable citizens upon the
testimony of witness not credible, it
was decided that it was not proper to
publish it. 1t was locked up in the Office
ire-proof safe, and had. so far as we
know, never been out of the Ledger
office until brought to the committee
room to-day. No member OF the COM
mittee had ever seen it; in fact, no one
except the three editors of the Ledger
had ever seen it. Both interviews were
submitted to the committee. 1t was de-
cided by a vote of five to two to at once
listen to the public reading of the state
mentS.

THIS SEEMS STRANGE.
What BardsIey Said of John Wan
amaker.

PHILADELPHIA, July 10.-Mr. Nc
Wade, being familiar with the manu-
script, was asked to read the papers,
which he willingly consented to do.
Much that Bardsley told to Mr.. Nc
Wade was afterwards incorporated in
the statements he read in court when
called up for sentence June %, and
which has already been published. In
these Bardsley again went over the
story of the Keystone bank and
stOutly maintained that he put the
$3.50, 600 In the bank but did not know
what became of it any more than he
believed that President Marsh got 1t.
Bardsley said that Bank Examiner Drew
had been a heavy borrower from the
Keystone bank and was completely
under Lucas and MarSh'S thumb.
In regard to John Wanamaker, Bards-
ley said that Marsh told him that he
knowingly held Over-issued shares of
bank stock and demanded 100000 for
them and upset the plans for TeOrganiZ-
ing the bank. Bardsley then said that
he advised Marsh to engage counsel and
make a demand on Wanamaker for
the over-issued shares, as he was
guilty of a crime in holding them.
Marsh retained Mayor SulZberger and
John o. Johnson as his counsel, and
they made a demand on Wanamaker
which he refused. Wanamaker's propO-
sitiOn was that the Lucas estate should
pay him $4,000, Marsh, $4,000, and the
bank S25, 900. The lawyers then notified
Mr.. Wanamaker that, if the fraudulent
shares were not delivered to them by
specified date, they would resort to legal
measures to get them. The shares were

maker had made a threat that he would
see Comptroller Lacey in Washington
and have the bank closed before they
expected 1t.
In March, $780, said Bardsley,
"Marsh came to me and said Wanamak-
eT wanted 5000, 600 at once. Marsh told
him that he did not have the amount on
hand, and Wanamaker told him where
he could get it. Two days later Marsh
came to me saying that Wanamaker
was persistent and must have the
money. | loaned him the money and
Wanamaker got it." Bardsley also
talked a great deal about his connection
in the past with several prominent
Philadelphians, and blamed them for
the stand they had taken against him.
He IS accredited by Mr.. McWade with
having spoken of Col. Mcclure, of the
Times, and William Singerly of the
Record, in the interview.
Many Men Involved
PHILADELPHIA, July 1O-Bardsley's
statement contains this story: when
l was candidate for city treasurer
called on Col. Mcclure and told him
everything in my past life, and said
that, if he would say so, [ would with
draw. He said: Go ahead; the Times
will bd for you" But he weakened
afterwards. You remember the scheme
to get the gas works from the city; well,
Mcclure was in that. Mcclure was to
get big block of stock for his advo-
cacy in his paper. and was not to pay a
cent for it. Mcclure was also in num-
ber of other schemes"

IN SECRET SESSION.
The Alliance Idea of a Public De-
bate.

CHARLESTON S. c., July 1O.-Presi-
dentJ. W. Stokes, of the South Caro-
lima Farmers Alliance, has issued his
ultimatum in regard to the joint debate
on the subtreasury question between
Gov. Tillman and National Alliance
Lecturer Terrell. His decision that the
debate should be held in secret session
at the meeting of the State Alliance is
a great disappointment to non-Alliance
men, and very particularly so to Gov.
Tillman. As the subtreasury question
is one in which the public generally is
interested, TiIlman's friends say that
the debate should be open, and they
consider the proclamation of President
Stokes as partial back-down on the
part of Lecturer Terrell in advance.
Gov. Tillman will be at great disad-
vantage before the State Alliance, as
he will be addressing body in secret
session which is. to begin with, hostile

Hugh Mullen, Bardsley said: "The
mayer wanted Richard j. Lennon ap-
pointed to the same place. Afterwards
BardSley learned that Matt Quay was
pushing Albert H. Crawford for the
place, and Crawford was the auditor
generals man for the place. Martin
and Porter and all of Quay's people
were working for Crawford, and the re-
suit was that Overtures were made to
Singerly to draw Lennon out of the
fight He was promised that if Lennon
was taken out 100000 of state
money would be placed on de-
pOsit in the Chestnut Street bank.
"This was done. Lennon was taken
out of the fight and the 100000 is in
the bank now. Crawford got the place,
and Mayor Filter got angry at what he
claimed to be a broken promise"
Bardsley then paid Hugh Mullen $500
to redeem the promise to the mayor.
II. Il. Yard, he said. got great deal of
the Keystone bank money. He was i'll
the pool with Lucas and Marsh, and
Marsh allowed him to overdraw his ac-
count $4,000, even when the run on
the bank was going on. Widener aud
Elkins, the traction magnates, he said,
never sold him any traction stock or
had any dealings whatever with him.
McWade also asked Bardsley if Judge
Wilson had ever borrowed money from
him as city treasurer. He said no: and
on being asked what judges had bor-
rOwed money, he answered in whisper,
Finletter and AshmaD. The money, he
understood, was simply an advance on
their salaries; they did not know
whether he was lending the state
moneys, city moneys, or his own
money. The remainder of the
statement was simply long
story of Bardsley's troubles given in
his own words with numerous COM
ments, all Of which contained no new
facts. II. II. Yard, who was then
called, did notrespOnd, and communi-
cation was received from his counsel
stating that his case had been appealed
to the supreme court. The committee
voted to instruct the city solicitor to
take measures to compel Yard to obey
the order of the lower court and appear
before the committee.

WHO is THIS DEAD. MAN Z?
e. A. Dibble May Possibly Be His
Name.


WATERLOO. To-, July 10.-A mysteri-
Gus suicide occurred here to-day. A
man registered at the Central house this
morning under the name of t. Williams,
of Minnesota. He went to his room and
at once shot himself through the head
with revolver, after having taken a
dose of laudanum. He left the follow
ing note to his landlord: "You will find
money in my pocket to pay for a coffin
and all necessary expenses for my
funeral. l am sorry to cause you trou-
bic, but had to trouble some One."
There was absolutely nothing by
which to identify the suicide, as the
name he gave is undoubtedly fictitious.
In memoranda in his coat pocket ref
erence is made to check from the State
Bank of California on DreXel, Morgan
& Co., payable to E. A. Dibble, and an
express order payable to Allied M. Rich
ardson, Des Moines, 10. There was
also bill of lading consigning trunk
to f. a. Richardson. Cannon Falls, 10.
In his trousers pocket was found S55,
referred to in his note to the landlord.
The dead man used all efforts to conceal
his identity. even to eraSing his name

his real identity, the suicide had cut
the initials from his shirt and burned
them from his handkerchief. he had
no baggage. He was apparently about
twenty-five years old.
