Ulster County Savings institution
has closed its doors and is in charge
Of Bank Superintendent Preston.
The examiners have been at work
since Tuesday and haye already
found that S463. 900 have been stolen
by Treasurer Ostrander and Mat
thew Il. TrumpbOur, assistant treas
urer. aud it is feared the stealiDgs
will reach over that amount. AT
midnight last night Superintendent
Preston swOre 10 a complaint charg
ing Trumpbour with perjury iD
swearing to false statements con-
taIned in the July report Of the bank
to the banking department., and
Trumpbour WIS arrested. He was
,ust preparing to flee from town.
Oslrander ives arr sted about two
weeks ago for embezziing S75,OO0
and was under bonds Of $4,000.
His b0ndsmen lest night turned
him over to Sheriff Dill and he was
also locked up in Jail. The system
adopted by Ostrander and Trump
bour Yves most ingenious, aud foI
twenty ears he's bafficd the skill
Of expert examiners in the employ
of the state in carrying it out. De
ceit and perjury were frequently and
effectively employed. The state
ment showed: resources 81, 600;
due depostors, 81 1888, eco; surplus,
S247,OOO. 1t is impossible to tell or
even mcclure tue effect of the
closing of the bank will have on the
people of Ulster county. The ma
jority of the depositcrs were poor
people.
The people had great confidence
in the institution and 1t II said q
number of the bonds mentioned in
the statement by the trustees were
hypotlecdted in New York by
Ostrander and Trumpbour. An
other method mentioned was that
deposits In many cases were entered
on the bank register for only one
ha'f and One.thjrd of the amount
received, while the entrio9 in the
deposItors' books were for the full
amount, the difference being taken
by the thieves. The streets Of Kings
ton are filed with people, and de
pnsitc are aniyiRg on every train
and by all me ner of vehicles, Oc-
casionally some Of the excited farm
ers threaten to break into the bank
building and ret their money, while
others suggest lynching. Business
is virtually suspended. A man who
had 300 on deposit has developed
symptoms of insanity and ii IL
feared it will be necessary to take
him to the csylum. The city OFF,
cials, fe ring the threats to burn the
Jail where Ostrander and Trump
bour are confined, have summoned
the fire depaI tment, members OF
which are now watching the bank
building, court house aud Jail oppo-
site.
The prisoners were arraigned this
afte enoon. Their examination was
SET for Monday morning. II is
stated on the street today that after
It's affairs are wound up the bank
will pay depositors seventy-tive cents
on the dollar.
