TRIAL OF CORNELIUS 4LTORD.
Set to Begin To-day-One of the POfn Is
to be Brought Out.

New York, Dec. 25.-The trial Of Cor
nelius Alvord, jr defrauding cashier of
the First National bank of this city, is
set for tomorrow in the United States
district court. The amount of his de-
falcation was $690,000. One of the inter
esting features of the trial, and which
in all probability will be brought out
by the United States district attorney
in his examination, is the amount of
restitution of the stolen funds made up
to this time. The officers Of the First
National bank have been reticent on
this point ever since Alvord's arrest.
The sale of his effects in his home in
Mount Vernon was only drop in the
bucket. Where the bank really made
good part of it's loss was, 1t is said, in
the turning over OF Mrs. AlVords jew
els. Their value has been estimated at
not less than $150,O00.
