NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Defalcations'
amounting, it is claimed, to $50, 900 have
been discovered in thes accounts of the
Williamsburg Savings Bank, an institu-
ton conducted at Williamsburg, Brook
Ign. General j. V. Meserole, president Of
the bank, is authority for the statement
that the persons implicated in the affair
are Harry z. Corbett, a former paying
teller of the bank, who died November 2,

formation leading to the discovery.
The bank is fully protected it is said,
by the bonds of both COrbett and ZolIein-
hofer. Harry E. Corbett had been in the
employ of the bank for eighteen years.
He was looked upon as a man of exem-
plary habits and not the slightest sus-
pieion attached to him up to the time of
his death.
According to General Meserole on Fri
day of last week George Zolleinhofer, one
of the receiving tellers, went to Cashier
William Burns and confessed to him that
he (zolleinhofer) and Corbett had for the
past two or three years taken funds from
the institution for the purposes of stock
gambling and that SO far as he could
estimate the amount that had been lost
was between $4,000 and $50 Goo Cashier
Burns had Zolleinhofer repeat his confess
sion to President MeseFole and a meeting
of the trustees of the bank followed.
The examination was not concluded that
day, nor is 1T yet concluded, but irregu-
larities enough were found to show that

tent of the defalcationS

with one exception, the oldest employee
of the bank, having been with the insti-
tuition for thirty-three years. He is so

bank to untangle its accounts.

OAKLAND, Nov. 15.-Because of re-
port that suspicious circumstances sur
rounded the death Of Mrs. Mary E. Van
Wye the Health Department refused to
issue a burial permit until an autopsy
had been held under direction of the Cor
oner. A certificate of death had been
signed by DR.. J. c. Stout, who attended
Mrs. Van Wye, and the cause of death
there set forth had been Endorsed by Dr.
John Fearn, who assisted during the Wo-
mans last illness. The postmortem ex-
animation verified the physicians declara-
items and set at rest the reports which
reached the Health Office.
The action of the Health Department
forces Coroner Mehrmann to hold an in
quest, but the burial permit was issued
this morning after that official had re-
ported the result of the autopsy.
The funeral services, which it had been
feared would be interfered with because
of the Health Departments action, were
regularly conducted this morning from
Thirteenth-street parlors, the Rev ]. *.
