DETROIT, Mich. June l,h--For some
time there has ber2 an uneasy feeling
IN the banking atmosphere of this city,
occasioned by The numerous failures III
saving institutions that have recently
occurred throughout the country,
especially in the West, Although
there has not been decided run on
any of the savings hanks of Detroit,
considerab BILE money has been with
drawn in quiet way, and TO forestall
any movement that might result dis
astrously TO them, and IS an act OF
mutual protection, the officers of these
institutions met and adopted the fol
lowing notice to depositors:
There has recently been developed
in our city an uncasiness among saw
ings depositors which has been with
ont cause directed against some of
our strongest banks To stop the
needless withdrawal of deposits and
the locking up of currency in time of
financial stringency, the undersigned
banks respectively desire, in the event
of unusual demands upon them, and TO
insure equal protection to all their de-
positors, TO require the notice pro-
vided for in the bylaws of the several
banks.
We would therefore, ask our deposit
tors to review the situation calmly,
and accept with patience our action,
which is taNen in our mutual interest
and for the benefit of the community
at large.

citation, State Savings Bank.
When the doors of the Peoples Saw
lngs bank, one of the largest in De-
troit. opened at 10 o'clock an immense
crowd Of people focked in with inten-
ton of Withdrawing their deposits
They were handed copies of the fore
going circular and told that their de-
posits would be paid in full at she end
of specified time-SiNty days. This
seemed TO allay the excitement some-
what.
81. w. O'Brien, President of the
Peoples Bank had this to say of the
situation: There is really no occasion
for this excitement The contagion
is spreading eastward, and savings de-
postors. feeling anxious about their
money, have been quietly withdraw
ing it for some time. To stop this
needless withdrawal of deposits and
ioeKing up of currency in time of
financial stringeucy, we have taken
this action to allay fear and protect
ourselves. 1t was not for the want Of
money that we took this action, for we
could have secured enough. to have
paid every depostor, but we did not
think this the wisest plan.
At the Peoples Banl things began
TO quiet down when it was seen there
was no occasion for alarm A long
line of business men making heavy de-
posits had much 10 do toward quelling
the excitement, and everything is COM
paratively quiet at the other banks.
Deposits in the Peoples Savings Bank
amount to over Sc, UC0 0O0. State Bank
Commissioner Sherwood pronounces it
and the other savings banks in the
city in a frst-class condition, and says
there is no occasion for alarm.

of such a character that the bl pod
spurted all around, particularly up

sharp, as though by very sharp in
strument. During the recital of these
CHASTITY details Miss Borden hid her
face IN her handkerchief and seemed
much a9itated When she removed
her handkerchief il was seen she had
been weeping. Mr. Adams gathered
together all the bloody pillow-shams
and sheets and spread them over the
laps of the jurors in the front seats.
Juror Hodge tainted at the signt, but
was soon revived.
A new feature brought out in the
testimony of the doctor was that the
murderer struck some OF the blows on
Mrs Borden while astride the body,
Either of the two hatehets directly in
evidence could have been used. The
witness admitted it was matter of
speculation about the time that passed
between the murders He believed
Mrs Borden was killed fully an hour
and a Lalf before MIR. Borden. The
bloody tale was too much for Miss
Borden and du ing a brief recess she
was Led from the room.
