FEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Believed No Steps will Be Taken 10 Punish
Mr.. Twitchell.

Bath, Me-. Sept. 1.-The Bath Times. to-
day. published the following: No new
developments concerning the embezzle-
ment Of Fritz II. Twitchcll have occurred
since the exclusive announcement of the
unfortunate affair in yesterdays Times.
Despite the fact that unpleasant rumors
have been in the air for several days.
many were greatly shocked to learn the
true state of affairs. Deep regret and
much sympathy was expressed by many
Of our citizens.
The Times hears from reliable authority
that a good portion of the money was OBJ
tanned by increasing the actual amount of
duty paid to the government on imported
wool and also in the purchases of wool
from time to time. Mr.. Moses, although
treasurer of the Worumbo. had allowed
Mr.. Twitchell to sign the checks in his
chr. Noses name. but the initials of Mr.
Twitchell we're always annexed.
Much of the money appropriated by Mr..
Twitchell. it is believed, went into poor
investments.
The first amount, about $500 was taken
10 years ago for this purpose. 1t was an
nounced. yesterday, that the discrepancy
in Mr.. Twitchelrs accounts would be to
the extent of 500. Co., out a larger amount
may be the case.
Mr.. Twitchell told the Times. yesterday,
that he would never return to this city to
make his home. but would seek other
fields. Regarding his assignment to II.
NJ. Heath of Augusta. Mr.. Twitcheu said
the papers had been drawn up but not
recorded.
Mr.. Twitchell left this city, yesterday
afternoon, on the o'clock boat. for his
summer home at Popham Beach, where
he will remain for the present. Nothing
has been done about furnishing Mr.
Twitchell and 1t is generally believed
that nothing will ever be done i'm this di-
rection. This matter will come up at the
next meeting of the directors of the Wo-
rumbo Co.

had acknowledged his guilt to persons
Interested and at least one newspaper
man. the news was reluctantly ac-
cepted.
ONLY a careful investigation revealed
the fact that there had been wrong do
ing. When confronted with the evil
dence Mr.. Twitchell acknowledged his
guilt.
Mr.. Twitchell. who Is at his summer
home at Popham Beach. Is in very poor
health. He refused to discuss the situ-
alton.
The disclosures In the case were pre- 4
cipitated by the personal assignment:
OF Mr. Moses, which was annaunced,
Tuesday, and in which Mr.. Moses. him.
self, says more than 100000 worth II
property is involved. Included In this
are the interests Of the Bath Gas &
Electric Company and the Richards
Paper Company OF Gardiner.
As result Of the announcement Of
the assignment of Mr.. Moses, the other
enterprises with which he was con-
nected came under more critical in-
spection than they have been in many
years.
Among these were the Worumbo
Manufacturing Company. Of which Mr..
Moses was treasurer and Mayor
Twitchell was buying agent.
This unusual scruting disclosed evil |
dencc that some OF the accounts Of the |
mill were muddied and that large
amount OF money had been taken.
1t was found that the method had |
been to alter the checks and charge |
the excess to the expense account. |
Then the stubs in the check book were
adjusted to suit the conditions.
Those most directly interested re-
fused TO talk about the matter.

whole nation has adopted regarding
the guilt Of Dreyfus. it is argued that
Henry may have supposed that he was

in forging the letter. which would sat

on the highest political grounds.

FRAUDULENT BIDS.
Some Subscribers for Government
Bonds May Not Receive Them.

Washington. Sept. Ia wide inves-
tigation Of suspicious bids under the
last call for subscriptions to govern
mcnt bonds has been completed by So
licltor O'Connell of the treasury de-
partment and. today, he submitted to
Secretary Gage the mass OF testimony
on the transactions. Several thousand
subscribers were examined.
The reports indicate that millions Of
dollars in bonds were acquired by ir-
regular means and that number OF
New York bidders are involved In the
cases.
Many Of the bids received from New
York are shown to have been either
signed by individuals who had no d.
rect interest in them and subscribed
their names simply at the request Of
or in consideration Of compensation by
other parties, or the bide bore signs
that were forgeries.
Many of the bidders. 1t Is stated,
were hired to sign and the system was
carried SO far, the report goes to show.
that virtual agents were employed who
were paid SO much per subscription.
the last named merely signing his
name and giving the bid with his sig
nature to the agent or directly to the
party seeking control Of a large
amount of bids.
The report and the exact facts are
withheld from publication at this time
for prudential reasons but Solicitor
O'Connell said, today. there is large
amount of fraudulent bids.
1t is stated that a further investi-
cation is to be made and that the facts
developed will be followed In action by
the secretary. This may result in a
refusal to issue the bonds in all cases
found to have been illegal.
