failed to appear. He was at home, and
said that he would explain adj Monday
The refusal of the cashier to say any
thing was brought to the attention of
the bank officials, and Examiner Dorr at
once declared Abbott a defaulter. Dis
trict Attorney A. A. Branch, of Man
chester, and U. s. Marshal Campbell,
were at once telegraphed for to place
Abbott under arrest, but they could not
connect to arrive until today. Mr.. ABB
bott remained at home all day, and Chief
of Police Fogerty detailed police officers
to guard the house.

to escape He said the object of setting

time to notify his sons and daughters

was unlocked. Bank Examiner Dorr

ALBANY. N. Y, JAN II, 1895.-The
Lexow Committee has finished its re-
port, and it VIII be finally considered at
a meeting of the committee to be held
tonight. It will be submitted to the
Senate either tonight or tomorrow morn

that a bipartisan police commission be
established by legislation. The report
will emphatically summarize the corrupt
condition which has been shown to exist
in the New York City Police Department,
and with it will be submitted bills carry
ing out its recommendations, if they are
drafted in time.
The report will be sent to the printer
as soon as presented. Nearly every men,
