what process OF reasoning can We make hoLhi
distinction between the larceny OF the desplseId

real larceny accomplished for example. by the
rich and quasi-respectable promoters OF the amer
Shipbuildng Company. that bubble or traud
concerning which the public press has had so much
10 say recently? The trustee who hazards the
funds OF his trust estate in Wall street gaEnoIng
and loses, speedily learns 10 his that his
offence is enbezzement, and his punishment severe
How do we distinguish between the conduct which
places him behind the bars of prison and that.
Tor example of the president and directors Of the
trust company. closely associated with the ship
building swindie upon which the financial report
OF the New-York State Bank Examiner has re-
Gently been made public? That report shows that
these directors made Illegal and practically unse-
cured loans OF enormous amounts and permitted
their president 10 his official position ana the
money OF stockholders and depositors 20 gamble IN
floating a so-called trust of the most nagrantly
fraudulent character. Illegal loans to this presi-
