ANOTHER DEFAULTER.


ROME, N. Y, Dec. 8.-The greatest sur
prise the people of this city have had in
many years was caused to-day by the news
that John Z. Bielby, the trusted cashier
of the Central National Bank was a de-
faulter in the sum of $4,000. The short
ness in the accounts was first suspected
about two weeks ago by National Bank
Examiner J. Van Krauken. of Schenectady.
who visited the institution at that time.
On Monday OF This week he unexpectedly
reappeared and continued his investigation
and made the above discovery Bielby ad-
mitted that he had taken about S2i 900, and
says that he speculated in stocks, was
caught in a downward market and took
the bank funds to recover himself Most
of these funds were also lost. Samuel Gill
lette the teller of the bank. who is also
the Mayor of Rome, disappeared Monday
evening and his whereabouts are not known
by his wife. Bielby, however. says no one
lette had nothing to do with the defalca-
ton.
Belby's method of covering up the de-
falcations which have extended over about
a year and a half was to receive funds
from depositors and conceal the record of
such receipts from the bank examiner.
making the liabilities of the bank seem to
be less than they really were. This was
carried out mainly by means of certificates
of deposit. The bank is secured by Bielby's
bond for $4,000 and securities he owns in
New York to the amount of 5000. These
securities will be turned over to the bank.

Bank Clerks Reason for Shooting
Two Inspectors and killing Himself.

COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia, Dec. 1s.-The
theory that Huntington, the bank clerk
who shot the two bond company inspectors
and then committed suicide was shot by
other hands than his own Sunday was
exploded to-day and the jury accordingly
decided. The jury went to the hotel To
hear the testimony of Hayden and Crom-
well. The former seemed to be in good
spirits, but the latter was not resting so
easily as on Monday. Both described the
conversation that took place in the private
office Of the bank In much the same way as
1T has already been given to the public by
the papers. Both said that they were un-
armed and did shooting. Cromwell s
testimony did much to strengthen the be-
lief In Huntingtons innocence of any finan-
cial crookedess. He said that he could not
specify any particular check that was miss
ing, and that so far as he could see the
bank had not lost the 500 excepting so far
as the bookkeeping was concerned.
The mystery surrounding a note about
which the inspectors questioned Hunting
ton Sunday morning was cleared up this
paid this month, although Huntington could
not tell where he got the money with
which to pay it. Judge Bennett, the cashier
OF the State Savings Bank. testified that
on the same day when the note fell due
Huntington borrowed $50 at his bank. There
Is now no doubt that the whole miserable
affair resulted from Huntington getting his
accounts mixed. He was not thief, but
thought he was to be so branded.

that he dared not disobey him. Just before
the crime Blixt went around like a man in
a dream; Ii was hard to attract his atten-
ton and his memory became defective.
Hayward impressed on Blixt what he had
to do many times a day and kept the idea
of the crime constantly before him. accord
