EMO GIVES $4,000 BAIL
IT ~ PROPOSED TO TRY HIM ON
A NEW INDICTMENT

| The Charge q. the same ne In the Indiet-
nnent that Was Queshed-Lnpse OF Time
II Held to ne No Bar In the Case
of Fugitive from the Jurisdiction.
The arrest OF John c. Emo Thursday even
ing. on warrant issued by Commissioner
Shields. was n genuine surprise to Mr.. Emo
and TO many others familiar with Mr.. Eno's
troubles. The charge-tbat OF appropriating
funds from national bank-was supposed to
have lapsed when the original indlctm ent
against Emo was auashed last June by Judge
Benedict. 1t was believed by many that Sec
ond indictment could not be found because OF
the statute OF limitations.
In the Office OF the United States Di strict At
torney It was held that the statute OF limita-
lions did not apply during the period whom
Emo was out OF the country as fugitive from
Justice. As Emo was In Quebec for nearly nine
years and was under Indictment here. his case
would still como under the statute II this view
obtained Accordingly, new warrant was is
sued based on the old case. charging Emo with
unlawfully embezzling abstracting. and mis-
applying large sums OF m oney and funds and
credits OF the Second National Bank to the
sum OF S2045.000 by system Of false entries.
The books were made to show loans when
loans had not been made. It is alleged that
this system Of false entries and embezzle-
msnts continued from Sept 25. 1878. until
may l0 1854.
The arrest on a United States warrant, as
was reported In THE Sun yesterday. was made
on Thursday evening by United States Mar
