of Wilmington, Del, the Sum of $685.

Nathan Lieberman, of Wilmington, Del,
brother of Marks I.iebermnn. OF Elkton,
paid to the First National Bank of Will
mington, Monday afternoon, the sum OF
$33, Ill 40, in full settlement OF the judg-
ments entered against him by reason OF the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case
growing out of the defalcation of Peter T.
E. Smith, paying teller of the First Ma
tionsl Bank
The defalcaton of Peter T. Z. Smith be-
came public in 1898. He pleaded guilty
in the United States District Court and
was sentenced to six years imprisonment
in Kings County, N. Y, prison. For good
behavior his term was shortened. His
deialcation amounted to ABOUT $50, 600.
Tho First National Bank had meanwhile
had Judgment entered upon two bonds fsr
Sl5 600 each, on which Mr.. Lieberman was
the surety for the bank officer. A stay Of
execution was secured by Mr.. Lieberman,
who carried the matter into Chancery. On
December 3rd, 1898, the ChancsIlor made
decree dis'oivlng the preliminary injunc-
| tim ". linl I iaka had 20,
strain the bank from collecting the money.
From tNas decision Leherman appealed
to tie Supreme Court and il reviewed the
Chauoelor's decision. The highest court
in the STATE upheld the Chancellor, giving
lis OPT ion last January.
In bshaf OF Mr. Liebernau, Mr.. Nields
had held that the bonds were void as to
him because lie was induced to become
surely thereon by iraudu.sn ant representa-
tious OF the bank and that at the time of
the entry If the judgments, action on the
bonds Nas barred by the statute Of limita-
lions. On the first point conversations
with George d. Armstrong and the bank s
statements we're pus in evidence but the
Supreme Court overthrow the plaintiff 5
contentious as to this as well as to the one
involving the statute of limitations
The Supreme Court thus concluded its
decision
"A careful examination of this case dis
closes no ground for the relief of the surety.
Our Judgment is that within the limits of
the penalty of each bond, he is liable for
the defalcation Of Smith, with interest. We
therefore order that the decree OF the Chan
cellor be affirmed"
Under that decree tho judgments against
Lieberman remained in force, until the
settlement. The total of S33, III 10 repre-
sents the two honda Of So, 600 each, the
costs Of the case and interest.
