ON BANK COLLATERAL.
Director Mcdonald Accused of
Negotiating Private Loans.
More Revelations in the Madison
Squares Affairs.
The Grand Jury Will Investigate
tho Affair.

The lnvestigat ton Of the affairs OF the
Madison Square Bank by the District
Attorneys office is bringing to light
some startling facts. which have hither-
to been concealed.
1t was announced this afternoon that
a discovery had just been made showing
how the banks collateral had been IL
legally used by officers In charge OF the
affairs for making private loans for out
side persons. This particular case af-
fects Director Ronald T. Mcdonald, who
had a good lea to say about the man.
agement of the bank Just before its
collapse.
1t appears that Mcdonald went to the
firm of ~I.adenburg. Thalman - CO., in
Wall street. last June at the request of
President Blaut to negotiate a loan of
5000.
The collateral offered was held at the
time by the State Trust Company for
"A loan of SEQ. which was paid on and
the collateral released.
The SIS, 600 loan was successfully nego-
tiated for the security was gilt-edSed
and Mr.. Mcdonald received a check for
the amount from the bankers. which he
ltOh 10 Nit ~ -NiNAoiaS bohN ~ 'HNA
deposited 1t to the credit o the Madison
Square. The latter then cleared through
the ST. Nicholas.
The loan. however, Il appears, was ne
Gotiated by Mcdonald In his own name,
which was also at the request of PreSi-
dent Rlout, who did not wish the Wall
street firm to know that his bank was
borrowing money.
About a month after this, 1t is dis
covered, Mr.. Mcdonald again went TO
L~adenburg, Thalman d Co, n sue
ceeied in getting an additional loan OF
s., 900 on the same security. which be-
longed to the bank.
He did this without the knowledge OF
President Blaut. 1t is said, or any other
director OF the bank, and applied the
proceeds towards paying of a note for
$500. which the Madison Square Bank
held against him, and which was at that
time with the ST. Nicholas a
This was only one OF many notes, 1t
's said, which Mcdonald had given. both
individually and as president OF Munic-
ipal Ice Manufacturing Company, of
New orleans.
on the same day that he made this
additional loan from the Wall street
bankers, he t%elephoned TO the Madison
Square Bank that he wished to pay on
4 loan made to the Ice Company, also
to pay 5000 on his W note OF $500,
and that he had deposited the money
with the st. Nicholas Bank for this pur-
pose.
Thes facts will all be used when the
case against the Madison Square Bank
directors is presented to the Grand
Jury,
Discoveries of other irregularities in
the management Of the bank equally
startling have, Il Is said, been made
the last few days.
District-Attorney Nicoll may be ready
to bring the matter 10 the attention Of
