Chicago. April S.-Assistant Cashier
Frederick W. Griffin of the Northwestern
National bank walked into the vault where
the money is kept Saturday morning and
took therefrom a package containing S5O,-
100 in currency. Another employe saw him
come out and noticed he was Ill at ease
After thinking the matter over all night
he went to Vice President Dummer's resi-
dence Sunday morning and related what
he had seen.
On being questioned about the occur
renee. Griffin made a full confession, al
though there was at that time not the
slightest particle of evidence against him
beyond the suspicious Of his fellow clerk
Bank Examiner McKeon was at once
called in and an investigation showed
the books had been tampered with. so as
TO cover the amount missing. the pecula-
tions extending over a period of six
months.
Griffin took the money IN vain en-
deavor to conceal his crime from the bank
officials. He secured a draft from another
Chicago bank with the $4,000 distracted,
and placed the draft to the credit Of the
United States National Bank Of Omaha.
This bank, as the Omaha correspondent
Of the Northwestern, had originally $4,000
TO its credit in the Chicago institution.
Commencing his stealings with the ac-
counts of other banks. Griffin finally
mulcted this one alone. His system was
20 put in false tickets for telegraphic
transfers of money. When the Omaha
bank at last called for a settlement he
saw the case was hopeless and required a
desperate remedy, forgetting that while
his plan made the Omaha account all
straight It left the Chicago institutions
cash account short to the amount taken.
Unfortunate speculation in stocks was
the cause of his downfall. Aside from
these. the life he led was an exemplary
one. He had the entire confidence of the
officials, and did not even give bond
when he took the position. He is sc years
old, has wife and two children, and
has been in the employ of the bank ever
since he was 16 years of age. He was
arrested last night, and has been in the
custody of the marshal ever since.
At o'clock this afternoon he was
brought before United States Commits
sioner Humphries, who continued the
case in $4,000 bonds until tomorrow. No
bond will be given until after the hear
ing, when there will be no trouble in find
ing bondsmen.
Griffin recently resigned the presidency
Of the Ashland Club. He was prominent
IN North Side society circles. and declares
that he will live down his disgrace. The
bank officials will be as lenient with him
as possible. His father lives in Florida.

GOTHAWs MURDERED NEGREss.
Her slayer Negro She Had Been
Living With as His Mistress.


New York, April s.--The mystery of the
murdered negro woman found on Sixth
avenue is entirely cleared up. The wo-
mans name was Mary Martin and the
murderer is William Caesar. She had
abandoned her husband and had been
living with Caesar for several months
In a quarrel on Friday night he killed
her by choking. He left her lying on the
floor and went to bed in the next room
and slept soundly. Next day he was at
his usual work all day as a porter in a
hat store. At night he borrowed cleave
from a butcher. cut the womans legs
off, made the remains up into a conve-
nient bundle. (she weighed only 100
pounds) and took them to a Sixth ave-
nue. car with the intention of carrying
them to the river
The car he rode on went no further than
Waverly Place. He then took up his
bundle and while considering what to do
next he rested it on the iron railing in
front of the New York Bank Note Com
pany's building. Either he did not hold it
fast or was only too anxious to let it fall
anywhere. At any rate, 1t overbalanced,
according to the story of the detectives,
and fell into the space between the railing
and the building. Caesar dared not at
tract attention by climbing after it, so he
walked away from the spot, returning
home. This was at 8 o'clock Saturday
night. The bundle was not noticed until 6
O'Clock the next morning. Acquaintance of
the woman who knew of her quarrels with
Caesar suspected what had happened
when the discovery of the body was made
public. identified the remains at the
morgue and the rest was easy enough.

NEW JERSEYS ELECTION LAW.
The Fact That 1t Takes Effect Imme-
dIateIy "A Surprise.


Newark, N. J., April 3-Greater conster-
nation could not have been created among
the republican leaders of Newark than
was caused by the discovery that the
VOORHEES, supplement to the election laws
had already gone into effect and would
affect the spring election. 1t had been
generally supposed that the act would not
be operative until July. Taking effect
now, it wipes out the county board Of
registry and elections and possibly the dis
trict election officers, takes away from
the court of common pleas the power of re-
vising the registry lists for the approach
ing election, makes null and void the reg
istration of yesterday and may throw
doubt on the election of next Tuesday.
That was all discovered yesterday The
Voorhees, bill, signed by the governor. be-
came a law on Monday The clause pro-
viding that it take effect Immediately was
an amendment. 1t escaped the vigilance
of the Essex county members, all of whom
were under the impression that it did not
become operative until July, and who
watched its progress through the senate
and assembly.
A conference was held yesterday upon
the bill by Judges Depue. Childs and
Kirkpatrick. They scrutinized IL to
learn whether the court of common pleas
was authorized to revise the registry
lists. Their conclusion was that under
the new law the court had no such
authority for revision.
Senator Voorhees,, the author of the
election law, signed an opinion tonight,
which was concurred in by the county
political committees, that IT was not the
purpose of the law to interfere in the
spring elections Notwithstanding it's enact
ing clause. Judge Dupue will be asked
tomorrow to concur in the opinion in
order to legalize the forthcoming cleo
tiOns
