The New York Bank ,yrecker..

In view Of the recent release by par
don of George H. Pell and James a.
Simmons, the alleged 'wreckers' of the
Sixth National, Lenox Hill and Euui-
table banks, made inquiries yesterday
to ascertain if there was any reason why
executive clemency should not as we'll
be extended to General PeterJ. Claassen
United States District Attorney Mitch
ell was asked, among other questions. if
there was, in his opinion, any reason
why Simmons, convicted upon Claassen's
testimony as an accessory TO an embez
element, was any more entitled to mercy
than Claassen, the alleged principal IN
the transaction. Mr.. Mitchell said that
in the eyes of the law the accessory was
as guilty as the principal. He excused
himself from expressing an opinion as
to the merits Of Simmons pardon or the
likelihood of one being obtained 70.
General Claassen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mitchell was
not favorably inclined to the pardon of
Simmons. The jury. however. made
recommendations of mercy. which led
Judge Benedict to impose sentence Of
but six Years for an otfensc the penalty
of which is a minimum of five and Il
maximum of ten years. So far as this
goes. ii only brings into stronger relief
the injustice of retaining Cl.assen in Jail
while parConing the other.
Claassen was always regarded by bust
ness and tinancialnen as the least guilty
Of the trio. He so testified and his
friends and many others believed that
he was entirely innocent of any knowl-
edge of the check kiting" operations

gold by reason of abrasion came to the

the other day. George W. Sheldon g.

to pay duties. The sum was in equal
amounts, made up of So. $40 and $50
pieces. The teller found that the coin
footed up all right taken at its face
value. and it was sent over TO the sub
treasury. Pretty soon word came back
to the collector that the $4,000 in gold
was 81 $3.50 short weight and the deficit
would have to be made up before a re-
ceipt would be issued. Examination
proved that the coin had been abraded
