tx.BANktR TRIES SUlClu
HOWARD MAxWELL's wouNpc
ARE THOUGHT TO BE FATAL.
Brooklyn Official, Depressed Over In
dIctments, Attempts to Take
Own Life.

New York, Nov. 27.-Howard Max
we'll, former president of the Borough
bank of Brooklyn, attempted suicide
by cutting his throat with razor at
his home in Brooklyn Tuesday. He
was taken to a hospital and is ex.
pected to die. Maxwell was indicted
on charges of larceny and forgery.
The recent investigation of the af.
fairs of the Borough bank of Brook.
lyn, accompanied by number of in.
dictments against officers of the bank,
resulted in an attempt to commit sui.
eide by Howard Maxwell, who was
president of the bank at the time it
closed its doors. Maxwell had been
very much depressed ever since his
Indictment and suffered keenly
through Imprisonment in Raymond
street Jail.
At the Long Island college hospital,
to which Mr.. Maxwell was taken, it
was said he was in a serious condi.
tion.
Bail was furnished for him and he
went to his home in a serious mental
condition. 1t was reported in Brook.
lyn that Cashier Campbell of the
bank, who is also under indictment,
had decided to give evidence for the
prosecution. This report, which,
however, was not confirmed, caused a
sensation and was followed within a
few hours by the news that Maxwell
had cut his throat in his Brooklyn
home. 1t is believed that Maxwell's
wounds are fatal
Maxwell four years ago was cash.
Ter of the Kings County bank at the
time that institution was merged
with the Union bank, another Brook.
lyn institution. At that time he had
no property, so far as known, but he
enlisted the assistance of William
Cow of an advertising firm, and these
two. with others, organized the Bor.
ough bank Of Brooklyn. The Bor.
ough bank, operating on what has
been described as liberal lines,:.'
achieved remarkable success for its
officers and directors, and before the
crash came few weeks ago Maxwell
was reported to be worth 100000.
All this, however, was stripped from
him in the effort to recoup the bank
for questionable loans for the making
OF which he. as president, had been
held responsible. Shortly after he
became a bank president, Maxwell
married and in process of. settlement
of the Borough bank affairs Mrs,
Maxwell signed with him all the re.
lease deeds to realty that stood in his
name, SO that she is penniless.

he ever authorized any such signing
of his name he answered.:
"No, but if I had been asked to
would have"
Answers Are Cut Out.
Assistant District Attorney Fletcher
Dobyns moved that all of this answer
after the word mo- be stricken out,

tion. Attorney John S.. Miller, for the
defense, cross-examined Attorney God
dard and asked him whether he would
have signed memorandum note for
$4,000 payable to the Chicago Ma
tional bank If he had been requested.
This question also was ruled out by
Judge Anderson upon objection by the
prosecution.
John c. Collins, also of Sparta, ILL.,,

Southern Railway companv also an
swered a question as. to whether he
authorized the signing of his name
to memorandum note payable to the
