very best society and in due time became
cashier of the Falls City bank.
At length he was made commissioner of
the sinking fund, which enabled him to
put s600,000 of public money in his bank,
and then, as the evidence now indicates, he
went wild. When the Democrats nomina-
ted another man to succeed him, his friends
created deadlock in the city council aud
SO held him in place. Then he contracted
with one William p. johnson to elect the
latter county clerk in 1890, on condition
that the bank should run that office, and
spent somewhere between 1000 and $780,
900 in the election. No such corruption
had ever been known in Kentucky. As

sum. And, worst of all, he had converted
to his own personal use some $4,000 out of
the fortune of s21, 900 left to the widow and
daughter of R. B. Alexander, formerly
cashier Of the bank. Yet his friends sue
ceeded in getting him well on the way to
Canada before much of this was known.
The Philadelphia keystone bank story is
similar. Its president, Marsh, is not yet

penitentiary for fourteen years. Charles
Lawrence, cashier of the Keystone, is in for
seven years and others have suffered ac-

after receiving his sentence Mr.. Lawrence
favored Bank Examiner w. H. Drew with
a circumstantial account of their methods
of deceiving him.

DILL's CROoKEDNEss.
The CIearffeld Banker May Land
in the open"


CLEARFIELD, Pa. Oct. S.-The pre-
liminary hearing of President Dill, and
the defunct banking institutions of
Clearfield and HoutZdale. took place
this, afternoon. Bookkeeper Bloom,
who was first examined, recogniZedsan
entry in the journal, made July IA, 1891,
as being in DIPS handwriting. This
entry was an extra to the credit of
Dill, amounting to Sl2.664, made up of
three items, of which one was for S10.-
600, marked "Philadelphia exchange"
He then turned to the bank journal of
the same date, and all these $4,000 en-
tries were in Dill's handwriting.
w. G. Smith, discount clerk of the
Chestnut Strict National Bank of Phil
adelpha, was next called, and created a
sensation by stating that Dill had no
credit there of $4,000 on July IA, or
anywhere near that time. This wit
ness corroborated the testimony of
Bookkeeper Bloom, that but $1,S00 had
to the Chestnut Street bank. Both were
closely questioned, but both stated that
no trace whatever of the $4,000 credited
in Dill's books could be found
The bank examiner then pronounced
the entry false. Pending further eX-
animation the defense asked for time.
and the hearing was continued until
next Friday at Altoona. Mr.. Dill was
bound over in the sum of $4,000 to APP
pear at that time. Another warrant
was served, however, by Marshal Har-
rah, charging Dill with embeZzling S76,-
600 from the First National Bank of
Clearfield, and he was required to give
an additional bond of $4,000 before he
could return to his home.

SALTWATER. Mimi, Oct. 9.-Herman
Pohlman, who murdered Fred. Tang at
Centre City, Wednesday evening. was
seated in his cell reading a German pa
per, to-day, and in cheerful tones told
your reporter his story of the crime and
its cause. The murderer claims that he
can not speak English, but understands
nearly everything said. He said that
his trouble with Tang originated last
winter, and frequently during the past
summer he had had words with him.
Last winter he went TO the woods, and
was absent several weeks. Upon his
return he ascertained that Tang had
been frequent caller at his home, and
that he had repeatedly made indecent
proposals to his wife, which she re-
sented. One day. while driving along
on the road from Franconia to Taylor's
Falls, Tang drove up beside Pohlman'S
buggy and began abusing him, saying
alighted from his buggy. bidding his
wife drive home. AS he did SO
Tang pulled a revolver from his pocket
and began firing at him. Three shots
were fired, none of them taking effect
Pohlman ran across the fields, and
when he arrived home he found that
his wife had been beaten by Tang. A
short time afterward Tang again shot
at Pohlman at Taylor'S Falls and placed
him under arrest for assaulting a boy.
Nothing could be proven against him
and he was discharged. Since the last
shooting Pohlman says he was afraid of
Tang, and watched his movements
closely. He procured a warrant for
Tang's arrest upon charge of attempt
ing to shoot him, and it was this matter
that brought the parties to Centre
City, where the grand jury was
in session on Wednesday. No
Indictment was found against
Tang, AID all of the interested parties
had gathered at the depot to await the
arrival of the train preparatory to re-
turning home. While standing on the
platform Tang approached Pohlman
and threatened to kill him be fore they
reached Taylor's Falls, at the same
time feeling in his pockets as il en-
deavOring to get at his revolver. 1t was
then Pohlmais pulled his revolver and
fired two shots at Tang, causing his
death few minutes afterward. Many
residents of this city who have been
intimately acquainted with the MUIR
dered man for several years, and who
know that his character was good, re-
gard the murderer's story as pure fab
rication, Pohlman, on the contrary,
bears bad reputation, and is under ia
dictment for attempted murder IN Wis
