the only official of the bank who was
permitted to help himself to other peo-
pies money with impunity. Several

not, it is said, until he had extorted
a further gift of $1,000 as tie price
of silence.

question is to be put squarely up to
the governor this week. The other di-
rectors are E. NJ. Wayne, of Delavan
and X. NJ. Whitman, of AledO.
In another direction o. J. Bailey, the
indicted chief auditor Of Dougherty's
accounts, is to be made the object of

Independent Republican club is to hold
a meeting at which it is planned to
frame a demand for Bailey's resigna-
ton from the school board as a conse-
quence of his Indictment.
