BANK CASHIER EATON
FACES SERIOUS CHARGE
Alleged to Have Attempted to Bride
Treasury Official.

An attempt to bride Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Taylor to buy a
certain site for a postofice at Corning,
n. Y. which would bring a profit 20
George E. Eaton. cashier of the Van
Denning Bank. of that place. has re-
suited in the arrest of the would be
tempter.
The history of the case shows that
Eaton, while at first apparently uncon-
scious OF the enormity OF his alleged
otense. after reading the Postoffice
scandals began TO appreciate what he
had done and sought TO get back from
Mr.. Taylor the letters in which he had
proposed collusion.
A letter was received at the Treasury
Department May 10, addressed to H. c.
Taylor. and signed by George Eaton, of
Corning. The initials of Assistant Sec
rotary are III. A." and there being no
II. c. Taylor" in the department. the
Assistant Secretary opened the letter.
The writer informed Mr. Taylor that
he had property available for a post
Office site In Corning Congress had
appropriated $4,000 for a site. Mr..
Eaton explained that when the bids
were received he had not been able to
perfect his title, but since that time he
had arranged everything so that his
property was available
He suggested that If Mr.. Taylor could
fix it 50 that the site mentioned should
be selected, he would pay literally"
Mr. Taylor showed the lettef to So
lictor of the Treasury O'Connell and
Chief Wilkie. Of the Secret Service Bu-
reau. The three officials decided upon a
decoy letter. known in police parlance as
a come on"
In this letter Mr. Taylor mentioned
the fact that ne had absolute control
Of the selection of postoflce sites. and
that Mr.. Eaton was not too late with
his offer. Mr.. Taylor added: The lat
ter part of your letter is interesting,
and may ask you to explain more
fullv."
= second letter came from Mr.. Eaton
a few days later. in which he explained
that the property in question cost him
$4,000 and that II he could sell for SIS
600 he would divide the profit with Mr..
Taylor. To be exact. he said that ne
would be satisfied with 81 900 and that
the other could go to incidentals or be
applied for any purpose Mr. Taylor
might designate.
This was considered sufficient cause
for action by the Treasury Department.
and Chief Wilkie sent word to L. W.
Cannon. a Secret Service agent of Buf-
falo. to act in the case.
Eaton IN the meantime had sent a reg
istered letter to Mr.. Taylor. saying that
he had been reading of the Postoflce
scandals. and, in view OF the fact that
a wrong construction might be put on
the letters exchanged. IL would be best
TO return the letters to him.
No notice was taken of this request
and when arrested last night Eaton had
ia his pocket the letters from Assistant
Secretary Taylor and the registery re-
Ceipt for the letter requesting the re-
turn OF the correspondence suggesting

to secure the public's money for a gross
