would return later on as he wanted to see
me on important business. He came back
and said: i want TO give you a retainer
as counsel. so that what / tell you will
be a matter of professional secrecy
laughed and said: Why, Sam, it viii be
lust aS much "A secret whether you give
me fee in advance or not
He then told me he was in trouble with
the bank. He was very nervous and told
his story bit by bit When he mentioned
the amOunt-over $500, ,000-I said TO him:
Sam, you are crazy. This matter has
been preying upon your mind He proved
1t to me and then told me his accOmplice
got 1t ALL / pressed him for the name
of the accomplice and he gave it to me at
length very reluctantly.
Sam then asked me what he had bet
ter do. I advised him to go over to the
Brown building and give himself up. He
refused To do this. 1 told him thar the
chances We're 200 to 1 against his reach
ing a place where he could hide safely.
Well, he said. III run that chance
Il asked him what his confederate was
going TO do. He tod me his confederate
would stay right in the city and face 1t
down. He is too old q man 10 run away.
l think. moreover, it would be hard to con-
Wet him. He is a lawyer and knows what
he is doing. The system Of the defalca-
ton was such that it viii be almost i'm
possible TO prove that any person got the
show against the charges that VIII be made
against the confederate.
Lawyer Bishop, the counsel of the
bank, called on me repeatedly this week
to learn what Seeley had confessed, par
ticularly the approximate amount Of the
shortage. 1 refused to tell him. At last
he came to me with this plea: He said
the bank examiner had threatened 10 close
up the doors of the bank unless he was
Informed approximately of the amount Of
shortage This, ne pointed out, would
mean ruin 10 the bank and loss 70 a great
many people. This argument prevailed
upon me. 1 told him it was over 100000.
I then attended the directors meeting
and repeated this
Il do not believe that my client profited
more than $4,000 in all by the forgeries.
1 have evidence in the shape Of some pa
pers, which I found in some insurance
documents Of his, which convince me of
the truth Of this. The rest went 10 his
confederate. This confederate was known
at the bank for months and months past
as a 'tWo-hundred-dOllar man.

ANOTHER SENSATIONAL TURN.
Courts Method in the Trial OF the
Lynchers Is Denounced.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 26-There was
another sensation in the trial of the alleged
lynchers today. Attorney General Patter-
son attempted TO place his associate coun-
sci, ex-Attorney-General George 3. Peters
on the stand, and was prevented by the
court on the ground that Peters had been
present in the court room during the trial
and was therefore incompetent to testify
This ruling brought the attorney-genera. to
his feet to deliver a scathing arralgnment
of the methods OF the court in dealing with
this case. He said that TO rule out testi-
mony of such Importance upon grounds So
trivial was a mockery of Jesus Christ and
a travesty upon the law. The attorney-gen-
eral further remarked that II this evidence
were ruled out he would wash his hands Of
all responsibility for the prosecution OF the
case Then he entered upon an elaborate
argument for the admission Of the evidence
10 which rep.y no less caustic and equally
forcibe was made by counsel for the de-
fense. In the end the court took the mat
ter under advisement and adjourned the
court for the day.

THE sToNEcUTTERs' TROUBLE.
Both Sides Hope That an Agreement VIII
BE Reached.

The situation among the stonecutters re-
mains unchanged. A Dispatch-Inan talked
with several Of them yesterday, and
each and every one was emphatic in his
statement that he would not work under
the new scale.

Mason * Sims. members OF the Granite
Contractors Association, was visited by
the Dispatch reporter at Harrison ana
Franklin streets. where he has a number
OF men at work on several brown-stonc-
front houses. lie said that he had talked
with quite q number OF stonecutters In
regard TO the change in the scale OF
wages. and had advocated a conference
OF committees from the union and the
association. Mr.. Mason was decidedly or
the opinion that no strike would result
from the present disagreement. ana SAID
that SO far as he was personally con-
cerned. he did not consider that the
change would affect his men. Il don't
employ any but the best of labor" said
ne, land 1 should continue to pay all
OF my men at the rate of s. per day.
lie was OF the opinion that none OF the
contractors who were members or the
association desired to saddle any unsatis-
factory scale OF wages on their employees,
and thought that II committees OF con-
ference were appointed the differences
could be settled amicably.
Mr.. ]. Nj. Blunt, president OF the union'

the hope that some amicable and mutu-
aily-satisfactory arrangement could oe
arrived at between the two organizations
