EX.BANKER ROCKAFELLOW GUILTY
But the Jury Recommends mercy for th'
Former Financier.

Guilty, with recommendation
to mercy" was the sealed verdict re-
turned Monday morning at Wilkes
Barre by the jury which had been out
AZ hours considering the embezzle-
ment case of former Banker F. V.
Rockafellow. The defendant and his
friends are greatly surprised. They
expected either acquittal or a disa-
greement.
Rockafellow's defense under the
charge that, in 1898, he received
numerous deposits, knowing himself
to he insolvent, was that he supposed
the estate of his partner, E. P. Oar
ling, was sufficient to settle all claims
against the bank.

This is the true, practical method.

successful of our own administrations
i'm the past have been those which
adopted this policy.
Whatever might be hoped from the
labors of n commission, il made up of
practical financiers, in the way of
satisfying all classes of the people. the
moro the political complexion of the
senate MS now constituted is studied
the more hopeless the realization of
such scheme becomes. Even II the

Of the subject the nation has every con.
