John Mccullough Has Money De-
posted in the Southern Bank.
The Southern Bank account of John Nc
Cullough, the young stenographer for
Lester & Ravenel who was arrested In
New York Thursday morning for forgery,
has been garnished. The necessary pa
pers were taken out by the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company in the office
of Magistrate Naughtin, and were served
on Vice President H. A. Crane by Con-
stable Lilienthal. Mccullough is said to
have deposit of something less than $3.50
in the bank.
An Associated Press dispatch last night
said that Mccullough was committed TO
the Tombs for further examination in the
New York Police Court yesterday.
The friends of the young man were sur
prised to learn of his arrest on so seri-
GUS charge. Some Of them have express
ed the opinion that he Is mentally unbal-
anced and can account for his action in
no other way. Certainly--he could have
had no hope of escaping detection, and
must have known that the discovery of
the forgery would be followed by his ar
rest. The most natural presumption
then is the theory advanced by those who
know the young man. Sheriff Sweeney
will arrive in Albany this evening, and
will return with Mccullough early next
week by steamer.
Mrs. Bell. the mother of the young wo-
man who married Mccullough Monday,
said yesterday that she had not believed
any of the time that the man who wanted
to be her sonin-law had come by the
large sum of money in his possession hon
estly.
"McColugh saw the scrape he got
himself into and he knew he would. be
found out" she said. He represented to
my innocent girl that he was going away
on private business for Col. Lester and
prevailed on her to go with him. The
marriage and everything was settled
without my knowledge or consent When
she tod me Friday that she was going
to be married on Monday 1 was shocked.
l was suspicious that everything wasn't
right.
81 heard Saturday that Mccullough had
checks cashed for large amounts. | knew
then that l was right. begged and plead
cd with my daughter to let him go, and if
everything turned out all right she could
get married when he came back She told
all of her friends that she would wait
until then. l was satisfied that it was
all settled. l had no faith whatever in
his ability and well did he know ii. 1
asked him Saturday night where he got
that $500 check. He told me Col. Lester
gave it to him. I said that was untrue,
you raised that check on some one and
you are mad because l found you out
and tell you the truth to your face
He got very nervous and l saw his
guilt then. l fully expected that he
would get arrested before he left the
city. and that was the reason 1 had for
trying to keep my daughter from going

her until o'clock Monday morning. She
went to her trunk, and took her ring and
license out and gave them to me- l didn't
know until then that she had them. She
said, I will do as you tell me, mamma
Keep this; maybe it is all for the best.
1 will telephone to him that you have
got it and 1 can't go, but will wait until
he comes back" She did so and then
went to this friends house. He went
there too. and all this threatened Vio-
lence to himself was carried on there,
where he had everything his own way"
