VAN corr LOST ALL
New York's Postmaster Vic-
 tim of Misplaced Trust.
BUSINESS VENTURE ENDS IN RUIN
Young Syracuse Lawyer Who Start ed Bankrupt Concern and His Female BoOI<keeper Placed
 Under Arrest.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-Charles A. Hess of 50 Pine street, attorney for Postmaster Cornelius Van Cott, de clares that MT. Van Cott has lost every dollar he possessed as result of his venture in the National Mercantile agency with Willis T. Gridley, whose arrest he brought about on a charge of falsifying the books of the company.
 Lawyer Hess charges also that the books of the company were actually changed by Miss Edna Ranney, now under arrest in Syracuse. Miss Ranney, it is said, is protegee of Gridley's, and when he came from Syracuse three years ago he brought her with him. She was employed as a bookkeeper by the company, and the books. according to Hess, were changed by Gridley's or ders.
 Gridley was arraigned in the Tombs police court and held in $4 4,0O0 bail for further hearing on Jan. ?.
 MT. Van Cott was president of the company in which he lost his entire fortune. The statement of Lawyer Hess follows:
 Postmaster Van Cott about year ago was invited to become director in the National Mercantile agency, whose offices were at 271 Broadway. There was a possibility that such a concern, by skillful mana cement and careful financing, would have a good field and prove a successful venture.
 ''The venture did not turn out as an ticipated by MT. Van Cott, and it be- +< AE, Van Cott, having implicit confidence in Gridley, indorsed number of notes in his individual name with Gridley, which were either sold or discounted and the proceeds presumed to have been paid into the treasury of the com pany.
 Because of gross mismana cement by those who had charge of its affairs the concern became insolvent, and in July last an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against it.
 ".About the time of the filing of this petition the notes indorsed by MT. Van Cott and MT. Gridley came due, and up to date my client has been obliged to pay out a ife's savings, upward of $1S,O0O. to meet these papers.
 ''There is still outstanding unpaid about 5000 worth of paper containing the indorsement of MT. Van Cott and the defendant. ,
 'Gridley is just as liable as MT. Van Cott and is we'll able. to pay, but re- fuses to pay his share and is trying to gobble up the small assets of the com pany and to bankrupt MT. Van Cott.
 ''In order. to carry out this scheme MT. Gridley directed the bookkeeper to falsify the books of the company.
 False entries were made showing that MT. Van Cott was a debtor in the sum of nearly $3,0OO, when in fact he was a creditor for upward of $1S,OO0.
 '"This has been a most unfortunate affair for MT. Van Cott. Every dollar that. he had in the world has been paid out by him to meet the obligations for which he was morally and perhaps legally responsible. MT. Van Cott nei- ther directly nor indirectly benefited in this scheme to the extent of a single dollar and never even received any part of his salary, which was fixed at $5,OOO year."
