ACCOUNTS WE'RE RIGHT.
Bonds Worth S1SO,OOO Are Missing

MAY BE IN VAULTS HERE.

The principal topic of conversation on Staten
Island yesterday was the suicide of Otto Ahl-
mann and the closing Of the Bank Of Staten ISL
and, of which he cashier and owner. State
Bank Examiner Judson said last night that, so
far as the investigation into the affairs Of the
bank had gone the account were in good shape.
and that he had never seen more perfect and
exact Set of accounts The only flaw found as
yet was the absence of bonds amounting in all
to S1S0,000, which apparently were not in the
bank. but which might be in the safe deposit
vaults held by the bank in Manhattan.
Superintendent OF Banks Kilburn, he said.
would be in Manhattan this morning, and The
safe deposit vaults would be inspected. If the
bonds were found. it was almost certain the
shortage, If there was one at all, would be only
a trife. If they were not found, there would be
q shortage of something like S1SO,O0O.
A cable message received yesterday from
Ludwig Ahlnann, a brother of Otto, who lives
at Kiei Germany, directing that the body be
placed in metal casket, taken to Brooklyn and
placed in vault to await shipment to Germany.
The funeral will be held at the Moravian
Chapel, New-Dorp Staten Island. at O'CLOCK
tomorrow.
