THE MONEY PROMPTLY PAID
President of the Newbury Bank Pleased
With Action of thec Express Co.
columbia State, December 25th.O

NSOluiiADl" otolO, ctli(
Assistant General superintendent Leary
and Division Superintendent o. M. Sad
der of the Southern Express company,
are still in the city trying to clear up
the mystery of the $10,O 900 robbery. There
were no new developments in the case
yesterday, SO Mr.. Saddler stated. Both
of these gentlemen will eat their Christ
mas dinners in Columbia and several
more in addition until the money is re-
covered.
Yesterday Mr.. addle received the fol-
lowing from the president Of the New
berry bank. to whom the stolen money
was consigned:
Newberry. December %, 1897.
Mr.. o. NJ. Saddler, Superintendent Char
lotte, N. c.:
Dear Sir: Yours Of the 22nd to hand.
The $4,000 referred to was placed in the
National Park bank Of New York to the
credit Of this bank on the END, which
was entirely satisfactory. By your
promptness we suffered very little incon-
venience. This shows the advantage of
doing business with reliable and prompt
peOple. Yours truly,
J. N. MARTIN, President.
The following from the New York Ev-
ening Post in connection with the prompt
settlement of the claim is interesting:
The advantage of shipping money by
the express companies rather
than by registered insured mail in case
of loss was shown very effectively today.
Last Friday the correspondent in this
city of the National Bank of Newberry,
S. c., received an order to ship to it
$40, 900 in currency. The money was duly
forwarded on that day by the Southern
Express company. On Monday the ex-
press company reported to the New York
correspondent f the NeWberry ban
that the package of money was missing
at Columbia and asked how the loss
shout be made good. Today the presi-
dent of the express company handed to
the New York correspondent of the New
berry bank a check for SIC, coo, to be
placed to it's credit. This prompt settle
ment of the loss the New York bank con-
sidered an unanswerable argument in ia
vor of the of money by re-
sponsible express companies rather than
by registered mail with a policy of insur-
ance against loss as it took weeks and
sometimes months, an officer of the bank
said, to recover in case of the loss of
money sent by registered mail in that
way.

of Wall street. The specific charge
against him is grand larceny in the
