that he helped his friends, and was sacri-
feed by them,
The bank officers and lawyers we're in
olose conference with Red vine all the after
noon, but what passed between them was
kept profoundly secret. The cashier takes
his capture carelessly enough, but is ex,
tremely nervous and shattered in personal
appearance.
DEPOsIToRs NOT TO LOSE.
Bank Examiner Campbellis is in charge of
the bank, but is not able yet to say any
thing more than that the depositors will
get their money.
The suicide Of Tom Cobb Jackson is by
many who talk about it taken
to indicate that he was in
some way implicated in the
Redwine affair. There seems to be no
ground for this suppoation beyond the
warm friendship existing between the two
men. They belonged to the same social
set, and were close friends. jackson q
jackson were the attorneys for the bank.
1t is said that, Redwiue had per
mitted young jackson TO overdraw
his account heavily, and while be
was IN no way involved in the defalcation
1t was probable that Jackson's act was due
to the fact that his mind became unbal-
anced through brooding over his friends
troubles. he had been drinking consider
ably, which was the real reason for the

THE MONEY LOST IN SPECULATION.
ATLANTA, GA. , Feb. 25, A. M.-All the
afternoon and for two hours tonight the
Hills and Jack Spalding remained in con-
ference with RedwiDe. He was stubborn
for long time but finally broke down and
asked to see Mr.. Spalding alone, Mr..
Spslding is the counsel for the creditors
He asked Redwine to make clean breast
OF everything and the young man did so.
he said that there was a sort OF blind pool
or syndicate of men outside the bank who
used the banks funds to speculate la cotton
and stocks. They lost $40, ,000 This impaired
the capital and outside bankers were asked to
help the Gate City. They put up fund
and braced it then. That isIthe reason they
would not help it Wednesday night Mr..
Spalding SAYS that the names of the men in
the pool will never be known through Red
wine. They are known, however, to others
and will come out eventually. At midnight
the chief of police is considering whether he
shall send out and arrest some prominent
young men who visited Redwine while he
was in hiding at Cora Howard's assignation
house.
THE HOWARD WOMAN ARRESTED,
Cora Howard was arrested tonight as an
Rccomplice. Owens has confessed that he
was acting in the employ of Redwine's
friends who wanted to secure his escape
He refused, however, to divulge the names
of those implicated. The confession has
created a great sensation. Federal war
rants have been sworn out against Red
wine. Owens and Black, and they will
PROBABLY be given a preliminary hearing
before the United States commissioners TO-
morrow. The latest theory is that Red
wines friends outside the bank got most of
the money defaulted, and there are free
predictions that the whole affair will be
smoothed over if possible to shield promi-
nent people.
In her statement to the chief of police to-
night Cora Howard stated that Redwine
came TO her house Tuesday at o'clock,
coming straight from the bank. He told
her that be was short at the bank Sl5 900
and that he wanted to stay there until it
could be fixed up. which would be very
probably the next day. The Howard woman
implicated well known lawyer.
She said that the lawyer had
called at her house Tuesday night 20
see Redwine and had lent him an overcoat,
which coat he wore when arrested to-day
Chief of Police Connolly will arrest him
tomorrow, he said, for abetting Red
wines escape. This will lead to further
disclosures Of names.
