His Bank Accounts All Straight, but Is

Thought 20 lie wealthy Peculiar Check
transactions.
STNG STNo. April l5.-Thoro is but one
topic OF general conversation in this place
just now, and that is, What has become
of Isaac Is. NoNon, the former cashier OF
the First National bank Ho was to have
been home and at his post of secretary Of
tho Sing Sing Savings bank more than q
week ago Instead of that absolutely
nothing Is known of his whereabouts and
all trace OF him has been lost since he sent
two letters one to his daughter and an.
other TO a creditor in Sing Sing from the
Grand Union hotel in New York city.
Those letters reached their destinations
within few days after his departure.
In addition to the mysterious disappear.
ance it now transpires that Mr. Noxon
has left behind him personal debts
amounting to several thousands of dollars.
President Henry c. Nelson Of the First
National bank says that the accounts of
both banks with which Mr. Noxon was
connected are intact. Like the rest Of the
villagers, howevor, Mr.. Nelson is at a loss
to account for Mr.. Noxon's strange ac.
tions. Tho missing mans daughter, Miss
Grace Noxon, Is quite prostrated and de-
MOS herself to many callers.
One OF the main branches Of discussion
IS a transaction Mr. Noxon had with Jesse
Tyndall, painter of Central avenue
Even the story Of this transaction Is vari-
ously stated, and the following Is said tc
be the correct version:
4 Queer Check Transaction.
Last September Mr.. Noxon borrowed
81 900 from Tyndall, giving him in re-
turn his personal check for that amount
The check was dated and made payable
In November. Whom It came due, Noxon
told 1'yndall he had not at that time quite
enough money to his account to insure
the payment Of the check.
Tyndall was perfectly willing to dolay
negotiating the check and did so until
Jan. 10. He then went TO the bank and
, presented the check with his passbook
Noxon, who was cashier, said he would
make out the ontry and have the book
ready in day or two.
That afternoon, however, NoxOn sought
Tyndall and told him again that he had
not enough money to honor the check. He
suggested as a remedy that Tyndall make
~
Tyndall did this and thereby became Nox-
on's creditor for that sum. But Noxon
equalized matters by giving again his
own check for s 600, dated Jan. 20. On
that day Tyndall went to the bank with
the check and passbook, ana the 81 600
was entered on the book. This placed mat.
ters in practically the same position as II
there had been no borrowing.
Tyndall had about S2, 200 in the bank,
and as his expenses were very heavy he
had to make numerous drafts upon his ac-
count. On March is Mr.. Noxon left Sina
Sing for a three weeks vacation, &c Is
said. and on March 81 he wrote to Tyn-
dall from tho Grand Union hotel of New
York city inclosing the check he gave to
Tyndall and which the latter had deposit
ed on Jan. 10.
Tho letter accompanying it said, in
part that although no had gfvon Tyndnll
credit on tho passb0oll for tho check, he
(Noxon) could not meet it and asked il
Tyndall would hold it until April 20,
when tho writer would make it good.
So the condition of affairs now IS that
Tyndall has the check and tho letter and
the 81 600 entry in his passbook, but can
not draw against the sum. He IS patient
ly waiting until the goth of this month
when he will be able TO SEQ whether he is
ever to get back the 81, 900.
Noxon's Further Indebtedness.
Besides this indebtedness to Tyndall,
Noxon owes John Gibnoy a lawyer, of 211
Main street, 81. 600, and Thomas Loary, O
lawyer of Croton avenue, $1,000. Rumor
has it that he also owes tho following;
John Cuatt, a carpenter of Maurice ave
nue., S1,OO0 Smith Acker, farmer, liv-
ing about two miles north Of Sing Sing
g., 600; Francis Larken, q lawyer In the
Masonic Hall building, 5000 (Ar. Lar
kin is said to have indorsed an SO, 600 note
of Noxon's and that So, 600 of the latter's
stock In the First National bank has been
hypothecatsd) John Hoag, county treas
uror, s., 200, and Frank Brandreth, a
member Of tho family that makes q cor
tain pill and porus plaster, $4,000.
The last two items arc mere matters OF
village gossip ard receive both confrmn-
tion and denial. One or two villagers said
that Noxon owed Albert Y. .Iennlson, tho
proprietor Of the American hotel $500,
but Mr.. Jennison denied it.
At what tho village is standing aghast
is why Mr. Noxon wanted SO much money
and what he has done with It, Last June
ho mortgngcd TO Ralph Brandreth the Ma
sonic hall for $4,000 There was alrandy
upon It q mortgage of IS, 500, which has
been held for many years by tha Townsend
Young estate. What has become Of this
money is not known, either, and Sing
