GOVERNMENT TO COLLECT.
Sureties of Neely and Rathbone I'm
willing to Refund Losses.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a special to
the Times from Baltimore says;
President Edwin Warfleid, Of the FL
deity and Deposit Company, Of Balti-
more. has gone to New York to con-
suit Frank H. Platt, vice-president Of
the company, concerning the $4,000
bond of Charles F. w. Nicely. former
director Of finance Of the Cuban pos
tai service. Demand has also been
made upon the company for the $4,000
bond of Estes G. Rathbone. President
Warfield says that the company has
neither admitted nor denied liability in
these cases, nor wifi II do so until full
ly satisfied that the claims are just.
Mr.. Warfield further says that he
fore a settlement is made the charges
made by Neely viii have to be salts
factorlly explained away. 1t was fur
ther stated that the company does not
propose to settle except at the end Of
a lawsuit. Tie effect Of a suit 10y the
government to collect the amount Of
Neely's bond will be to throw the mer-
. its of the whole case before an Ameri-
can jury, and it appears that one Of the
grounds on which the company will
contend against paying will be that
Neely's guilt has not been established.
A point which the company may
raise is this:
On Neeiy's preliminary hearing in
New York Captain George E Burton.
who first made the charges against
him, testified that as far back as jan
-uary, 1900. he had a. - i-
- nnOWn "a lIEtsu-
larities in the accounts Of the director
Of finance Of the postal establishment.
In all fidelity company bonds for the
form issued in Neely's case there Is
contained a clause which reads like
this;
This bond will become void as 10
any claim for which the company is
responsible hereunder to the employer,
If the employer shall fail to notify the
company of the occurrence Of such act
Immediately after it shall have come
to the knowledge Of the employer.
1t is said that if Burton actually
knew of the irregularities in January
preceding Neelys arrest. this clause of
the Neely bond becomes operative, b.
cause the company was not immediate
ly notified.
While the letter to the company max
ing the claim for Rathbone's bond does
not allege any criminality against
Rathbone, it asserts that the govern
mcnt was a loser through him to the
extent of $4,000 in unauthorized pay
meDts" which had been disallowed in
settling his accounts.
