ing overdrawn his account to the
amount of nearly $4,000. Maxwell

held for hearing. Campbell and Cow
each furnished $4,000 bail. Ex-Presi.
dent Maxwell was unable to secure
the 100000 bond required Of him and

Ii N..l. 80 H.. -.

some time ago deposited $145,000 of
the estates cash in the Borough bank.
The following day, 1t is alleged, upon

as the stock of the International was
disposed of, and all was returned with
the exception of $2S,O00. For this bal
ance note of Il. w. sDoolittle, the
private secretary of Cow. was put in.
The indictments for forgery concern
the last quarterly statement in which
the oyerdrafts of the bank were rep
resented as $20l, whereas 1t is alleged
they really totaled some $4,000.
All of the crimes are alleged to
have been committed since the first
OF the present year. 1t Is understood
that the inquiry into the Borough
banks affairs is not concluded, though
it may be temporarily suspended
when the investigation of the Jenkins
Trust Co is begun by the grand jury
