WAYNEsBURG'S WRECKED BANK.
Net Liabilities May Reach 81. 500. 900
Forged Notes Among the Assets.

PHrTsBURo. Dec. 29.-There were more
sensational developments at Waynesburg
to-day in connection with the failure of
the Farmers and Drovers' National Bank,
among which was the appointment Of a
receiver for Rinehart's tin plate mill which
Ia known under the name of the w. II.
Griffiths Company.
To-day it was authoritatively asserted
that rediscounted notes, for which the
farmers and drovers' bank at Waynesburg
il liable, now mount TO 81 $50 900, of which
il is positively asserted that $500 900 worth
are forgeries. From all indications the
liabilities of the bank will be 81 500, 900 in
excess Of the assets.
The name Of Barney Grossman, a clothier
of Waynesburg and an intimate friend Of
Cashier Rinehart, ia signed to notes for
$3.50. 900, and he denies that all the sigma
lures are genuine. Many notes. the sigma
lures OF which have been verified, are
worthless, the signer at no time having
sufficient funds to meet the paper.
Judge Holt made Sheriff John j. Koebert
permanent receiver for Rueben H. Gold
berg & Co. to-day. Attorney Trimble,
representing Examiner Cunningham, de-
clared that Goldberg was indebted to the
bank TO the extent Of s44 900 on notes and
that Rinehart was a partner in the firm.
Judge Holt also appointed Harry B. George
temporary receiver for the W. Z. Griffiths
Company, tin plate manufacturers Of
Waynesburg, of which Rinehart is the
largest stockholder. The company owes
the bank So, 900. Its plant cost $25 900 and
it has outstanding bills to the amount
Of Sl2 900.

trate Barlow ordered Liberatore discharged.
Liberatore left the court room with Cain
and Condor.
IL wasn't long before Lawyer Solomon A.
Lyman entered the court room. Hyman
was acting for Buto. having been retained,
me said, by Dominica Galupo and Giovanni
Corello, friends of Buto, who live in the
same house with him. Hyman asked the
court clerk what disposition had been made
of Liberatore's case and was informed
that the prisoner had been discharged,
since nobody appeared to prosecute.
Whats that?" said Hyman, The police
know where Buto lives"
The clerk showed Hyman the papers in
the case and the lawyer went before the
Magistrate anRrily.
THE complainant Buto is not only willing,
but anxious to prosecute, he told the Magls-
trate. Il was retained 10y these two 2
Galupo and Corello who were sent TO me
by Buto. Buto wants TO prosecute, hut he
is suffering from his injuries and not able
60 appear at this time.

retsined to act for Buto. ! showed him a
certificate from Or. Enrico DAmbrosio
stating that Buto is at his home suffering
from conclusion of tho brain and is in great
pain. He was taken to his home from the
hospital in an ambulance and the hospital
records show IL.
Gain looked at the certificate and asked
me II l was going to get an adjournment.
just then | was called to the telephone,
and 1t seems that while ] was out OF the
court room Cain obtained Liberatore's dis
charge"
Magistrate Barlow's eyes opened and he
called Lawyer Hyman into his private office.
The Magistrate questioned Hyman again
and Hyman repeated his story positively,
insisting that Cain knew Buto was at home
in bed. Then the Magistrate had Hyman
make an affidavit e~mbodying his story,
20 which he attached the short affidavit
made by Cain on December 20 and the
affidavit made by Cain yesterday morning
stating that Buto couldn't be found.
These, with the record Of the disposition
Of the case, were made into a packet which
Magistrate Barlow directed be sent to the
District Attorneys Office. Sergt. Delaney
of the court squad, who heard the con-
versation between the lawyer and Cain,
Hyman said, declared he did not hear what
the two men were talking about, but that
he saw Hyman show Cain a paper that
looked like a medical certificate.
Liberatore will PROBABLY be rearrested.

client intended 70 prosecute and would
