TYLER BANKERS
UNDER ARRESTS
Several officials of National
Banks Indicted.

Tyler. Tex, Feb. 1s-Quite
a sensation was created here
today by the arrest of the fol
lowing parties, who were con
nected with the management OF
the City National and First
National banks of Tyler, which
failed and were placed in the
hands of receivers few months
ago By United States Marshal
Geo Eason, on indictments by
the Federal grand jury now sit
ting at Galveston: w. l.. Cain,
cashier City National Banks,
three indictments; T. B. Butler.
president City National Bank.
three indictments; j. D. Moody.
cashier First National Bank.
one Indictment; j. Fl. Legrand,
assistant cashier, First Ma
tional Bank, three Indictment;
FL. Fl. Rowland, ex-president
First National Bank three in-
dictments.
The parties called at the
United States commissioners
office for the purpose of giving
bond, accompanied by a large
number of Tyler citizens, who
were ready TO make their bonds,
but the commissioner said he
would not accept their bonds
until to morrow morning and
they were released on their own
recognizance. The bonds will
be from $500 to $500. On &C
count Of the prominence of the
parties indicted it created con-
siderable comment, though il
was not at all a surprise to
many, as it was known that the
grand jury at Galveston was
investigating the matter and
had several days ago summon
ed Receivers A. G.. McIlwaine
and Gus F. Taylor of the City
National and First National
banks, respectively, to appear
before that body in connection
with the matter. A L. Clark,
who was indicted, was not of
ficially connected with the
management of the First Ma
tional Bank but was arrested
on an indictment charging him
with being an accessory to the
assistant cashier in making
false entries on the bank books

Last week Thomas Boarman, white, of
Newport section, made an uDproyoked assault
upon ex-SheriF Wheatley, at Mr.. Arthur
Thompson's store resulting in Boarman being

coal oil lamp and struck BoarnAn over the
head, cutting him severely, but the blow had
no effect upon the infunated man who con-
tinued the assault receiving in return repeated
blows from Wheatley Finally Boarman was
seized and put out the store. The latter,
however, growing more desperate attacked
the building IN vain attempt to get inside,

A warning To Mrs Irwin.

A rommitte composed Of leading citizens Of
Charles county has been formed to pre- ent
the permanent return to that coontr Of Mrs
james J. Irwin, who was recently acquitted
Of being al accessory 70 the murder Of her
husband by George Matthews, who will be
hanged March IL for The crime.
The object Of the committee Is 10 walt per-
sonally uuou Mrs irwin, should she return to
her old hons aud give her deiaiIe number
OF hours TO leave the county forever.
1--WE heard said one Of the committee
that this woman would retisn here to live.
We considered her presence mentnce 70 good
morals Her acquittsl is sincerely Tegtetle /,
and as she failed 10 get what we think the
law should have given her, We do not pro-
pose TO have her turned loose on US. Her
brother, Lorenza jackson, has been told that
Mrs Icwia had better not come back While
there would be no attempt to lynch her. ! am
not prepared to say what punishment the
good citizens Of this county might give her !"
The consensus Of opinion in the county is
to the effect that Mrs Irwin should share the
fate Of Matthews. No sympathy is expressed
for Matthews, who is roundly denounced in the
county for his refusal 10 tessif. against Mrs
Irwin inst whv he should have taken this
this course is a puzzle to those who have
known him all his life.
Said one prominent citizen: Matthews
suddenly adopted this cnurse, for he spoke
violently against Mrs. Irwin when he was
convicted. We think bis course was inHucn-
ced by hope ofexecutive clemency
The bitterness which prevades the eutire
community over the result Ct the trial is
stror gest, probably among the ladies There
are no exceptions All the women sag that
Ms Irwin insigated the murder and should
feel the penalty of the law. One lady, speak
ing of the release of Mrs. Irwin, said: can
not see why the men should OBJECT to
Matthews being released If the women Of
Charles county have to put up with the pre-
sence Of such woman as Mrs. Irwin.
should think tue men could tolerate
Matthews"
The Jackson boys who are brothers Of Mrs
Irwin, say that she will not return to the
county, but will make her home in Baltimore
city, where she will place her two children in
an institution Sun.
