How Nipple and His Friend SegaI
Looted Real Estate Trust
Company.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. I. - The
meth DDS by which the model bank
president, Frank Nipple, ruined the
Real Estate Trust company We're laid
bare in Il hearing before Magistrate
Kochersperger in the case of Adolf Sc
gal, the promoter; William f. North
and n. s. ColllnEwood, officers of the
defunct trust company. Segal and
Nipple are accused of being the direct
conspirators and |Collingwood and
North the passive tools in the looting
of the institution to the extent. it now
appears. Of perhaps $1U,0O0,000.
The bank was Il mine for Segal.
Whenever he wanted money in any
sun all he had to do was to step into
the Real Estate Trust company, put
up n bunch of securities of doubtful

or no value and walk away with the
cash. He was a depositor in the bank,
but seldom had any credit to his ac-
count.
Even when hundreds of thousands in
debt to the institution his checks We're
cashed with the connivance of Nipple,
North and Collingwood.
1t was not unusual for Nipple and
Segal to overdraw their joint accounts
500. 900 to $S00.000. When the over
drafts were so large as to call for re-
monstrances from minor officers and
clerks in the bank Nipple would fill
out a note for the Overdraft, get Segal
to sign it and put it in the bank rs
cash. The overdrafts were reported
to the state banking department us
cash on hand.
All this was established by witnesses
at the hearing. and more startling de.
velopments are yet to come. At the
request of District Attorney Bell, Segal,
North and Collingwood We're held for
the grand jury.
The courtroom was crowded with
men well known in the financial world,
and Segal, the principal living figure
in the case. was surrounded by several
attorneys. with whom he frequently
consulted.
District Attorney Bell in outlining
his case said he would prove that the
accused men with Nipple were en-
gagged in a gigantic conspiracy to de-
fraud the trust company and that as 81
result of their acts more than $1,000
900 had been distracted from the in
stitution and embezzled for the use Of
one mau-Adolf Segal. The active per-
sons in the conspiracy. he said. were
Nipple and Segal. The passive agents
were North and ~Collingwood, he con-
tinued. who wlckedly and wrongfully
stood by and saw the Others loot the
institution and never gave a warning.
1t is said that two of the directors Of
the company. men considered almost
as morally perfect as Nipple. have
been discovered to be implicated to
the extent of S750,000. These men are
accused of acting for n consideration
as examiners of the securities present
ed by Adolph Segal. the promoter, to
Nipple for loans.
They certified the securities, many
of which have been found to be al
most worthless. and took enormous
fees from the Golfers of the bank.
While warrants have not been ap.
piled for. it is said that these men are
fated to join the others in Jail.
The directors of the trust company
have agreed to finance n reorganization
scheme. They took this action only
Attorney Bell was preparing indict-
ments for all of them. Bell gave them
forty-eight hours to make good.

The Reedsyille correspondent TO the
Morganlown Chronicle William X. Shafier)
in last weeks issue has the following matters
of general interest
The Pennsylvania Lumber Company,
which bough, the |. z. Martin tract of TIMBER
near Reedsville, will have its large sawmiIl
in full operation this week. The mill IS set
up near the station at Reedsville. They will
load lumber as they saw II from the saw
carriage into cars, which will be shipped as
soon as loaded. The steel tram track is
nearly all laid to the timber where the trees
can be seen fallen in all directions, and the
children passing and repassing to and from
school can be heard quoting and repeating
George p. Morris, "woodman. spare that
tree; in youth II sheltered me-"
There are within n radius of ten miles of
Reedsyille some eigb, or ten sawmilis, all
running at full capacity. Five or SIX years
hence there will no, b. timber enough left
standing on the surface of the earth in this
section of the State to construct a rat trap
or chicken coup.
We believe that the Legislature of this
State should pass a law restricting OF retain
ing TO each farm certain number of acres
of wood lands, and that it should not be
touched except when used for fencing and
building purposes or repairing on the farms
OF the owner. Timber Spectators seem to
have entirely forgotten the needs ani wants
of the future generations.
Your writer had occasion ON last Saturday
to pay the Herring community a visit, some
five or SIX miles from Reedsville. We went
by way of Gains creek. After leaving the
Kingwood pike we travelled four miles in
straight course. The woods were literally
full of crossies by the thousand. We can
safely say hundreds of men are engaged IN
getting out crosslies and hauling them TO the
Morgantown * Kingwood railroad In going
and coming that short distance we counted
tour sawmills in full operation and we
wondered where the men all came from to
do the work found IN this large scope of
woodland.
There are several good farms for sale in
this section of Preston county, the land of
buckwheat and the home of the brave.
There is no more healthy place to live on
earth than Preston county. Here is the
proof of our statement. The Hon. James
{. MeGrew is in his 93rd year; Squire John
). Murdoch is in his oath year; David c.
White is in his goth year; James NJ. Carroll
is in his 95th year; John Dunn is in his goth
year; Grandma Elizabeth Stuck is up in 90;
while Aunt Polly Rogers attended Sunday
School and church last summer in her 9th
year. There are several persons more away
up in the Sos. What is the use of going to
Florida unless it is for the purpose of hasten
ing the time of death.
