D. S. DORN'S IRON CLUTCH UPON
THE MCDONALD BANKS.

But NJ. H. Sherman was not the only
fayorite of the McDonalds They had
many of them. One OF them was ID.
S. Dorm, the attorney of this city. Dorm
was the attorney for the Pacific and
the Peoples banks. He was director
and an owner of stock in the Los An
geIes Electric Railroad. He was one
of the moving spirits of the John
Brown colony. He was interested in
the affairs of the Pacific Bank and the
Riverside Motor Railroad. He was
president Of the Mohawk Canal and
Improvement Company He was di-
rector and manipulation in the Peoples
Home Savings Bank. Wherever there
was a dollar controlled by the McDon-
aids or a wild scheme suggested by
their diseased financial brain D. s.
Dorm was involved.
When Frank Mcdonald wished to
float some new chimerical scheme D. S.
Dorm drafted the r. ners. When the
elder Mcdonald wished to place his
property beyond the reach of his credi-
tors and to evade the consequences Of
his own foolishness and the dishonesty
of himself and sons, d. S. Dorm pre-
pared the legal documents When the
eEOt1StIc brain OF ft1CndrQ mc0Ondl0
Jr. conceived the idea that its possess
sor should be Governor of California,
D. S. Dorm attempted to manipulate
the machinery of one of the great par
ties of this State. The Call makes
these assertions with full under
standing of what they mean. This pa
per has the proof in its possession.
Throughout the long period of wild
speculation, disastrous investment and
eliminating ruin, d. S. Dorm was the
confidential adviser and friend Of the
McDonalds. He deluded them into the
belief that the School Department of
this city could be captured and that
upon the shoulders of the instructors
in the public schools Dick Mcdonald
could leap into the Governors chair.
The conspiracy Of the lawyer and the
flattered banker went so far as to make
nominees out of two of the other con-
spirators who. in 1892. asked the suf-
frages of the people of this city. The
Cali will show that hattery was sim-

SHERMAN'S GIGANTIC SCHEME AND
ITS RESULTS.

While the sons of DR.. Mcdonald had
involved IL. great banks in crazy finan-
cial schemes and wild ventures 1t was
not until NJ. H. Sherman became a di-
rector of the Pacific Bank, in January,
1891, that the real conspiracy to ruin
began. From that moment NJ H. Sher-
man, Spectator, manipulation and
schemer, leo the McDonalds on until
the money OF the Pacific Bank was dis
sipated and the funds Of the PeonJe,s
Home Savings Bank We're stolen under
the thin guise of financial technicali-
ties. Sherman concocted the scheme of
building an electric road in Los Ange-
les. He had nothing but his wit TO as
sist him and the credulity and foolish
financial notions of the McDonalds TO
spur him on. Frank Mcdonald par
ticularly proved easy game sherman,s
craft was equal to the task OF fiatter-

ing them with his almost worthless
bonds, dragging from them the money
of the banks and seduced them into
new ventures that subsequently
brought disaster to the two institutions.
When this manipulation, who until
now has escaped criticism and expo.
sure, found that he had won the con-
fidence of financial dolts. he sprung
new schemes. The Call makes no as
sertion that is not based upon the very
signatures of the man himself He or
ganized a phantom electric railway in
Phoenix and the McDonalds, in ex-
change for the money of their deposi-
tors, took the worthless bonds. One
of the conspirators with almost exact
truth declared that the railroad had no
beginning and no end. Stimulated by
his tremendous success in fiattering the
absurd managers and owners Of the Pa

ing the young banker and the brilliant
idea of having the Pacific Bank organ
ize, build and control a great street
railroad in Los Angeles became seri-
Gus fact. The Call intends to prove,
over the signature of M. H. Sherman
himself, that the McDonalds were in
veigled into giving up over 100000 for
the building of that road. From that
moment the Pacific Bank had started
on its road to ruin. In this plot Sher-
man had the absolute cooperation of
D. s. Dorm, who was the attorney for
the Pacific Bank and the Peoples Bank
and the confidential and bad adviser
of the McDonalds.
AS soon as Sherman had accom-
plished his purpose to make the Pa
cific Bank and it's foolish managers
supporters of his scheme the Los Ange-
les manipulation determined to secure a

footing also in the Peoples Home Saw
ing Bank This institution had been
established by the Mcdonald family
purely as a feeder for the Pacific Bank.
The Call will prove by the secret cor
respondence Of the conspirators that
the Peoples Bank was used simply for
purposes Of deliberate robbery. The
money that thirteen thousand poor de-
positors placed in the vaults of the Peo
ple's Bank was carted away into the
Pacific Bank and there dissipated by
the men who first f1attered and cajoled
the McDonalds and then took them by
the throat.
Sherman had no sooner become di-
rector OF the Pacific Bank than he de-
termined. as already Indicated to Sc.

the McDonalds into another scheme,
the Phoenix Water Works. DR.. Nc
Donald was tickled by the f1atterer into
accepting $142,00 in bonds of this con-
cern and both his sons had to commit
a crime to relieve him of the debt. The
Call has in It's possession the records
to prove the origin, the development
and the conclusion of this affair even
to the crime of the three McDonalds,
father and sons.
But Sherman was not satisfied to hold
the favor of the McDonalds; he be-
came their confidential agent. He was
at their beck and call, fattering, ca
joling and seducing into new chimert-
cal projects. His brain conceived
magnificent scheme of floating s5000,-
600 in bonds, while at the very same
moment he knew that the bonds al
ready out and in the vaults of the Pa
cific and Peoples banks were utterly
unavailable, and not worth one-fourth
their face value. But this brilliant
dream of the Los Angeles manipulator
cost the depositofs of the two wretched
banks many more thousands of dollars,
ana lnen SHERMAN Saw lHdl Illo Adl-
terry and his sycophancy had raised him
from his knees and he could take the
McDonalds by the throat.
The banks were almost ruined. Tho
dull eyes of the McDonalds began tCs
see Disaster to their institutions was
impending, and they placed on the
shoulders of M. H. Sherman the re-
sponsibility of the wreck that soon f9i-
lowed This phase of the story which
The Call intends to publish will GER
tainly not be uninteresting to the many
thousands of people who will have the
proofs now that their money was CARED

Bank into the vaults of the Pacific,

that this man with his electric road
