II. 4. RICHARDSON SPEAKS,
Is Very Well Satisfied With the
Result of the ROund.Cp,

ilr. Harry 4. Richardson was seen
for few minutes at the depot yesterday
afternoon. and he stated that at the ur-
gent request Of his attorneys he was
compelled to refrain from saying any
thing at the present time.
But if he wouldn't talk he didn't at
tempt to hide the pleasure he felt ut the
result Of the work of rounding up of
some of those who w.re connected with
the looting Of the First National Bank Of
Dover.
He said: Didn't We do it slick? Well,
] should say we did. | have worked
hard on this case, but now | am pleased
to know that my efforts have
proved successful. Why, there wasn't
half a dozen people in Dover who knew
that Cole, Clark and Butler were under
arrest this morning as they were going
t, the train.
Cooper was taken in the same man
mer from Milford. That will show ynu
how fine we had everything down and
how perfect our plans were.'
Butler was intervie wed while he was
waiting for the $50 train. fIe says
that all he can tell the public is that lie
is not guilty and that the preliminary
examination will convince everyone Of
his Ignorance Of what was being done
toward looting the bank.
Clark had taken the 137 train for
Philadelphia, as it appeared. he had
some pressing business which called
him to New York as soon as he was
released from custody.

STORY OF THE DEFATCATION.
A Steal That Carried of the Ent ire
Capital Stock of a National
Rank,

! William n. Boggs is charged with mis-.
approprating 100000 while paying
teller Of the First National Bank Of
Dover. The first intimation of the short.
age was received by the public on June
3rd, 1897, when, after Boggs had been
absent from his post for five days, a
hasty examination OF the books was
made, and it was given out that he was
defaulter to the extent o. $3SOOO. A
careful examination was at once com
menced, and, on Jul Y 18th, the official
announcement was made that the short
age aggregated $lO7, 900.
Boggs tleft Dover on Saturday after
noon, Nav 20th, the impression being
that he would return to Dover on the
following Tuesday. 1t was not suspected
that ANYTHING was wrong until his fail
ulp to return ut the time specified, and,
as he was not at the bank on Wedncs.
day, the suspicious OF some of the bannk
officials were aroused and an investi-
cation was commenced. On Thursday
. morning it leaked out that BoggS was u
defaulter. On that day letter, which
was supposed to have been written by
Roggs, was received at the bank, in
which there was an acknowledgment Of
the shortage and il which directions
were given by which the officials could
discover the methods used in eluding the
bank examiner The letter exonorated
all others connected with the bank. The
letter was written ON letter sheets Of the
st. Cloud Hotel, New York City but sub
sequent inquiry at the hotel failed to
show that anybody answering Buggs'
description had been there.
Harry a. Richardson, president of the
bank, as soon as the dcfalcation became
known, tclrgraphcd the government au-
th"rtirs. besides notifying the American
Surety Company, of New York, which
was on Boggs' bond for $4,000. The
agent of the surety company at once
went to Dover, in order to obtain te.inite
Information.
On the following Monday morning u

be demonstrated as soon as road is
