I Something About Nr. williams Inter.
/ view with the Controller Of the Cur.
rency.
some facts concerning the interview
/ which Mr.. j. p. Williams had with Con
troller of Currency Ecaels, when me went
/ on as representative from the committe,
| appointed by the solvent stockholders of
the OElethorpe National Bank. OF Bruins
wick, win prove an interesting addition
TO the history Of the administration Of its
| affairs told by Mr. Herman Myers
Representing the solvent stockholders
Mr.. Williams went TO Washington 10 see
Controller EcIJcls, and to endeavor if
possible TO make some arrangement by
which the solvent stockholders could
take hold Of the bank and straighten out
its affairs. In speaking Of the matter
yesterday Mr.. Williams said the con
troller seemed determined 10 appoint a
receiver and he then suggested Mr.. Myers
as d practical business man and q re
ceiyer who would be acceptable to all the
stockholders.
Mr. Eckels would not appoint Mr..
Myers, said Mr.. Williams. because he
could not give his undivided time and at
tention to the work, but would have been
compelled to employ an assistant. He in
sisted on the appointment of lawyer
for IKE reason thata lawyer could attend
at the same time to the collections of the
bank and the legal part of the business
without the appointment of counsel to
the receiver.
when / returned, the committee de-
cided among others 10 suggest Mr. Samu-
el Atkinson, a well known attorney of
Brunswick, as receiver who would be
acceptable to all the stockholders. Mr..
Eckels seemed opposed to appointing a
Brunswick lawyer, and few days later
telegram was received announcing the
appointment of Mr.. j. w. Bennett. and
much to my surprise the appointment by
him Of Judge Mershon as counsel to the
receiver. This was more surprising con
sidering the fact that he desired the
appointment of lawyer for the very rea-
son Of saving the extra expense of counsel
to the receiver.
THE action Of Mr. Eckels has been
very Objectionable to all stockholders, not
that there were any personal objections
10 Mr.. Bennett, but there were reasons
why the appointment OF one of the other
gentlemen suggested would have been more
acceptable to the stockholders That it was
done for political reasons. there can be no
doubt. They are dissatisfied also with
his action in calling for an assessment of
10 per cent. on the stock before
giving the banks affairs a thorough in
yestigatiOn. He has by no means had
time to determine whether such an as
sessment is necessary or not"
Mn. Myers left for Brunswick last night
and Mr. Williams may go down within a
day or two They win look into the
status Of the bank with n view to making
a proposition on the part of the solvent
stockholders to take up the institution,
pay whatever assessment is necessary
and rehabilitate it.

ONE GAMBLER DEAD.
Keepler's Unerring Shot Sends Joe
Murray Out of the World.

Murray Out of the World.
Joe Murray, the negro gambler who was
shot by Elijah Keepler on the Springfield
road Sunday afternoon, died yesterday
morning at = o'clock. The uall, had
passed entirely through his body and it
was impossible for him to survive.
Murray was what is known as a de-
tectlye spotter and so was Keepler 1t
seems that the 10 cents was not the only
thing they had been quarreling over, but
there had been some rivalry between
them in their field of employment, which
had engendered bad blood, needing only
some tri1ing circumstance or excuse to
open the row.
Acting Coroner Naughtin summoned a
jury and endeavOred 10 get all the wit
nesses together IN order to hold an in
quest over Murrays body yesterday af-
ternOon nj o'clock 1t was impossible,
however, TO get the witnesses, and the in
quest had to be postponed. Several of
the Witnesses We're on hand, and from
what they said, there seems to be some
fear among the others that they NAV be
arrested and prosecuted for gambling, as
they were engaged in the game.
Coroner Naughtin issued subpmnas for
all OF them yesterday and instructed his
balm to assure them all that they would
not be prosecuted and that no action
would be taken against them The in
quest was postponed until this afternoon
at four o'clock, when it win be held in
