SOLD FOR A MILLION.
Fehr Isman Bugs Bennett Building.
IN Nassau Street.

Felix Isman, of Philadelphia bought yesterday
from the New-York Life Insurance Company the
Bennett Building. ten story office and store
structure occupying the block front on the west
side of Nassau street, from Fulton to Ann street
The structure is No. 93 to 90 Nassau street. No
135 to 139 Fulton street, and No. 80 TO "a Ann
street. 1t has frontage of III feet in Nassau
street of 74S feet in Fulton street. and of 756 feet
in Ann street. The property was owned for some
years by James Gordon Bennett proprietor of
The New-York Herald One million dollars
was he price obtained by Leopold We'll, agent
for the New-York Life.
Adjoining the Bennett Building is an eleven
story office and store structure with frontage
of "A II feet in Ann street. and with depth Of
IS feet In design and construction this structure
is similar to the Bennett Building. of which it
is practically an annex, as its tenants have no
other way of going to from their offices ex-
cept through the Bennett building. Mr.. 1sman
could prevent it's tenants from using his build
ing This peculiar Ann street building which
has no entrance of its own is owned by one OF
the Sire brothers, and will probably be SOLD IN
foreclosure proceedings in the near future, as
the interest on the mortgage on the property is
passed due and unpaid
Mr.. Isnan will probably acquire the Ann street
structure at the foreclosure sale. An action IN
foreclosure has already been begun by the life
The member OF the Sire family who owns the
Ann street parcel also owned the Bennett Build
ing until some months ago. when the insurance
company acquired 1t In foreclosure proceedings.
About ten years ago James Gordon Bennett
sold the Bennett Building to John Petit the
real estate operator and builder. 1t was a six
story building when he got it. He increased its
height by four stories and erected the Ann street
annex which, by the present sale. becomes
separate building. and the only office structure
without its own entrance in this city. Petit
got into financial difficulties due TO his real es-
tate operations, and the Bennett Building and
the Ann street annex were acquired by the New
York Life Insurance Company at the foreclosure
sale of the property. Since the day of the fore
closure sale Petit has not been seen. Later
the insurance company sold the two parcels for
about 81 100000 TO a person acting for one Of
the Sire brothers.
This is the second big deal in which Mr. 1sman
has figured within the last two months. He
recently leased for unusually long term OF
years parcel at 33d street and Broadway. He
will improve that site with a big store and loft
building. Mr.. We'll was also the broker in that
deal The Bennett Euilding will be improved
by its present owner.

]. R. WALSH ARRESTED.
FALSE REPORT CHARGED.
Chicago Financier also accused of
Misusing Banks Funds.

Chicago. March 2.-John r. Walsh ex-presi-
dent Of the Chicago National Bank which closed
its doors December IS. 1905, was taken into GUS
tody to-day on federal warrant charging him
with making false returns to the Controller Of
the Currency and converting TO his own use
without proper authority. funds of the bank
amounting to three million dollars He was
released after giving bonds for $4,000
The complaint alleges that on November 1S
1905 the Chicago National Banks statement to
the Controller of the Currency said that at the
close Of business November the amount of
loans and discounts of the banking association
on which the officers and directors were then
liable, either payer or indorser. was S245 600
whereas in truth the amount OF such loans and
discounts was S3.OOO.OOO. Another false entry
alleged was that the amount of loans and dis
counts of the association on which the officers
and directors were not liable as payers or in
dorsers was S10.65S. .226. whereas in truth the
amount OF such loans and discounts was ST.
100000
The S3.OOO,OOO mentioned as taken by Walsh
is Identical with the amount specified as being
loaned to officers. 1t is further alleged that
John r. Walsh and John NJ. smyth and William
Best, directors of the bank. "and other persons
too numerous to mention" unIawfully converted
money to the of Mr. Walsh,
The arrest of Mr.. Walsh was the direct result
of the last examination Of the books OF the Chi
cago National Bank made by Special Examiner
Arthur l.. Curry. The data were sent TO District
Attorney Morrison. in this city Mr. Morrison
swore to the complaint early to-day before
United States Commissioner Foote. who issued
warrant for the arrest of Mr.. Walsh and placed
1t In the hands of Deputy Marshal Middleton.
Mr.. Walsh was found in his office and placed
under arrest but friends asked that the officers
delay for few hours because of some financial
affairs that might be affected.
This was granted. and twice more the friends
OF Mr. Walsh asked for and obtained brief
respite. short time after O'Clock, however,
Deputy Marshal Middleton refused TO wait
longer
After being released Mr. Walsh said:
The report in question would ordinarily have
been signed by the cashier, but by reason of his
temporary absence 1t was signed by me- The
report, however, was undoubtedly correct in
every particular. These facts will be clearly
eSta blished by the evidence IL the reaches
a stage when evidence is produced believe,
however, that a more thorough investigation Of
the facts by the Department Of Justice and a
comparison of the report with the books of the
bank will convince the department that it's ac-
ton Is uncalled for and cannot be sustained
