The Legal Proceedings against Cashier
Figgatt Commenced.

Last Monday in the County Court al
Lexington the legal proceedings were com
menced. In view of their relation to the
banks affairs, or those who held response
BILE positions in connection with the wreck
ed bank, Judge w. P. Houston and Com
monwealth's Attorney D. E. Moore, re
quested Judge George Grattan of Rocking
ham to preside as Judge, and Capt. James
Bumgardner Of Staunton to act as Com
monwealth' s Attorney, and both gentlemen
consented. The special Grand Jury sum
moned was composed of B. L. Rawlings
and George E. Wade Of Raphine, J. S.
Craig and E. l.. Jones of Goshen, r. Fl
Rawlings of Vesuvius, J. M. Johnston OF
Oak Dale, W. G.. Mathews of Glasgow, s.
D. Gilmore of Lexington, r. D. Kirkpat-
rick of Monmouth.
The following description of the fugi-
tive cashier given by Sheriff Witt, is much
better than that first published, and we
print it for the benefit of number of VIM
DICTATOR subscribers who reside in the
States on the Pacific coast:
Mr.. Figgatt is about sixty years of age;
heavy built; 5 feet OF inches high; bow
legged Throwing his knees to the side in
walking); walks slowly and as if in pain;
wore full beard, but light; rudy complex
ion; hair and beard originally dark but turn
ing gray; talks slowly, and as if hesitating
for the proper word; teeth clinched and lips
open; mods his head frequently in talking;
short neck; throws head forward and elevates
shoulders in talking; stopped; appearance of
drinking man; repeats his yes thus, yes yes p"
Had two small handbags with him. When
Mr.. Figgatt left Lexington he had on plain
dark gray overcoat, medium weight and
without velvet collar; dark gray suit; black
SLOUGH hat broad tread shoes. He reached
Cincinnati via e. & 0. r. r. on the morning
of the 18th about o'clock.
The case of Sidney n. Bell the deposition
who lost So ,085, the amount of his LIES
savings, and who attempted suicide on
learning of his ruin, shows how Figgatt
did much of his fiGanciering. The bank s
books show no credits to Bell Of any amount
whatever. But the ''large pocket account
book'' that Figgatt kept, showed that Bell
deposited it in November, 1891, and memo
randa showed that Bell had been paid
interest on it. His plan was simply to
keep private book behind the regular
book, pocket deposits and pay interest on
them while the deluded deposition thought
his money was with the bank.
Judge Grattan delivered a very strong
charge to the grand jury, and Capt. Bum
gardner was in waiting all day to answer
any questions, as acting Commonwealth S
Attorney, the jury might ask.

SOUTH AND SILVER.
Ex-Speaker Crisp's Views of
the Situation.

Washington, May 6.-Ex-
Speaker Crisp is in the city
today en- route from a trip to
the North.
"Well, yes, there is consider
able talk about silver down
South" said Mr.. Crisp to a
reporter today. Il do not know
that it is any more pronounced
than formerly, though it may
seem to be so on account of
prominence given the financial
question throughout the coun-
try. You see the South has
always believed in the use Of
silver in our National surrency.
[ am not prepared to say that
the thinking people of that
section would come out radi-
cally on a single standard.
They are not radical about
anything. They believe, how
ever, that we can not have a
return of prosperous conditions
in this country on the contract
ed currency of a gold basis.
There seems to be a general
willingness among our people
to give silver an opportunity"
"What significance do you
attach to the coming sound
money convention at Mem
phis!''
THAT gathering viii repre-
sent the boards of trade and
commercial organizations of the
South. 1t will not be a rep
resentative meeting of the mass
of the people nor their senti-
ments about silver. 1 hope at
the meeting they will argue and
discuss the silver question from
their standpoint"
