Inc berld prints this dispatch from
PhhadeiBllia: The details of the confer
ence tnat occurred on the Saturday night
before PRESIDENT Marsh's flight would cast
more ilght upon the mystery that envel-
opes the affairs of the Keystone bank than
anything yet brought out A large sum
OF money was offered to Marsh and Law
renee to leave the country. The sum
mentioned to your correspondent by his
informant is S20. 900 each and an assurance
of one weeks start on the way to liberty.
President Marsh sailed for the Barbados
on the following Wednesday, under an as
sumed name. Lawrence, the assistant
cashier, declined peremptorily. He
said that whatever he had done had
been at the direct command of
Lucas and Marsh, and that he had never
prohted to the extent of one penny by the
Justification of the books of the bank. He
is already under large bail, which was
furnished by his father-in-law, and he did
not contemplate leaving his bondsmen in
the lurch. He has decided to face the
music and give the committee all the
information in his power. John Bardley
was present at that very important inter
view, and he importuned Marsh and Law
renee to so away until he could .'arrange
matters. Bardley never appears as having
contemplated flight, but fully expected to
have the bank reorganized and to come
out after ENHANCEMENT safely.
