Dover, N. H.. June S.-SeYeral Impor,
ta~t points were brought forth yester-
day in the case of the defalcation OF
Harry Hough.
The first is that the Cochecho Saw
tngs Bank, as well as the Cochecho Ma
honal Bank. will never again open its
doors for business.
The second is that Harry Hough
adopted some very harsh methods of
raising money when hard pushed, rob-
bIng mis- own father, as well as widows
anu orphahs' ana perhaps running es-
tates.
The third is that the officials here are
we'll satisfied that Hough has adopted
the sea as the best route of escape from
MS pursuers, and is now trying at
some Southern port, IL he has not al
ready engaged passage, at Baltimore, to
board vessel bound for some South
American city.
The fourth is that Mr.. Harrison
Haley, the cashier OF the national bank,
was compelled to mortgage his home-
stead property for $4,000 TO cover some
unsecured notes which he had put in
the bank.
The case grows worse and worse for
Harry Hough as the investigation pro-

took more than $4,000 OF the national
banks funds. IL is known that he re-
