New York. March 3l.-Lawyer Max
Josephs. whose disappearance from his

is said by his father to be alive and
well in Australia, although he was

collected from the Royal Arcanum.
Joseph has an office in Wall street
and lived in Brooklyn with his wife and
child. Two years ago Mrs. Joseph re
ceived a note from him saying he had
been called to Mt. Vernon on business.
Another letter from that place the fol-
lowing day said he had been detained.
His failure to come back led to an i'm

LAWYER was lost in Mt. Vernon and af-
ter the Hudson had been dragged and

Federal Trust Company Makes an As.
sionmcnt. Thursday.

| Cleveland. o.. March 31.-The Fed :
eral Trust Co. has made an assignment
to the Guardian Trust 60. The action
is stated to have been taken az re-
suit of the disappearance Of q prOmi-
nent official Of the Federal Trust 60.
Reports are in circulation that short
age has been found in the funds of the
concern.
| While no statement has been fled as
| yet by the Federal Co. it is understood
Int will turn over shout 81 900. 900 in de-
posts to the assignee. It's total liabi!i-
ties will be about $4,000. 600. The Fed
cral Trust Co. has q capital stock Of
$1,500.O0O. 1t has a surplus fund OF
$4,000 and about $4,000 undivided
profits.
According to its last report il had
s2.1SS.362 in loans ana discounts: S45.-
800 in real estate loans. and owned
$l29.000 stocks. bonds and mortgages
Its last statement showed individual
deposits of s1.593.32S. but officials state
that the deposits were about 81 900. 600
at the close of business. Wednesday
night.
An agreement was practically
reached between the directors of the
Federal Trust Go. and the Guardian
Trust Co., several days ago. providing
for the merging of the two concerns.
The disappearance Of the official Of the
Federal Company, however. precipi-
tated matters and the directors deeid-
ed that an assignment would probably
avoid run on the bank and protect
all interests.
1t is announced that an agreement has
been reached whereby the Citizens Saving

DOUBLE MURDER.
Charge Against Willis Wilson
at RosindaIe, Mass.
Accused Of Killing Mother and Step
father Last Saturday.
First Thought TO Have Eeen Murder
and Suicide.

Boston, March 2l.-A warrant charg-
ing Willis II. Wilson with the murder
of his stepfather ana mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank A. Brown, was issued
Thursday, at the jamaica Plain NUM-
cipal court and later served on Wilson,
who was already in custody on suspi
ciOn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown died, Saturday.
at their home in Roslmdale as the re-
suit of bullet wounds. 1t WAS general
" accepted at the time that Brown
murdered his wife ANA then killed him
self, an understanding which was fur
thered by Wilson. who declared that lie
was in an adjoining room when the
tragedy took place.
An autopsy which was held. Wcdns-
day. convinced the medical examiner
that Brown had not killed his wife.
There WAS no indication that the re-
volver which caused Browns death WAS
held close enough to show suicide.
No motive for Wilson's alleged crime
has been established.
The Yolice believe that the shooting
was an outcome Of a quarrel while the
Brown family was ut dinner. They
will allege that in the heat of the quar-
rel Wilson fired at his Stepfather. that
he did not mean to shoot his mother,
but that when she tried to grasp the
revolver the weapon exploded twice,
killing her. They will also claim that
Wilson then fired Il bullet through his
coat 10 divert suspicion from himself
by evidence that he had been shot at
by his father.
Wilson was arraigned before Judge
Howard in the Roxbury district court
later in the day ana pleaded not guilty.
he was held without bail for a hearing.
