bank, was the only person who knew
the combination to the vault, and after
a short search he was found and hur-
ried to the assistance of the impris.

sMlTH?-A PUZZLE.
HAS INTERESTING TALE
Claimed She Was the Daughter Of a
Prominent Connecticut Politician,

to Have Been False.

New York, Nov. 25.-The mystery
which surrounded Mrs. Nicholas M.

For 20 years the woman claimed
that she was Grace Bulkley OF Con.
necticut and all her friends believed
her story. She even went so far as
to tell them that she had been married
TO David Vanahaak, who afterwards
died. The real Grace Bulkley is alive,
as is her husband, David Yanahaak.
Walter g. Medhurst, Mrs. Smiths
first husband, says he married her in

was the daughter of Lieut.. Gov. w. H.
Bulkley of Hartford, and that she had
fallen in love with a New York trav-
cling man, who induced her to run
away with him. They came to New
York and wired her father that they
were married. The Bulkleys promptly
disoWned her, adopted cousin from q
large Bull1ley family in Connecticut
and proceeded to forget that she ever
lived. The cousin had the same name
as herself
In 1892 Medhurst divorced his young
wife and Immediately lost trace of her.

GETS SMALL ADVANTAGE FROM
EXCLUSION OF TESTIMONY.
NOTES WERE JUGGLED
Testimony Shows That Chicago Bank
er Mishandied Memorandum Notes in
His Reports to the Bank Examiners
Proceedings Are Embarrassing.

Chicago, Nov. 25. The cross-exam-
ination Of Frederick w. Mclean, for
mer cashier Of the Chicago National
bank, gave the attorneys for John r. y
Walsh, on trial charged with misap-
preparation Of the funds Of the institu-
tion, an opportunity to score several
points today. The most important
came when the explanation BY Nc
Lean of reports to the clearing house
association was excluded by the court
on the ground that the former cashier
had not personally made out the Sdocu-
ments. The objections by the defense
came after Mclean had testified that
Walsh had directed him to treat the
numerous memorandum notes of the
bank as direct loans to the parties
whose names were signed to them, in
the bank reports sent to the clearing
house and to the comptroller OF the
currency. The Walsh attorneys ar
gued that as Mclean had not made
out the reports in question himself his
testimony regarding them was incom-
petent, and this view was upheld by
Judge Anderson.
Technical Testimony. 8
Under atiO1, Mclean
admitted that the bank examiners
were familiar with the memorandum
notes and knew the collateral on
which they were based. He also ad-
mitted that he did not turn over cash
ier's checks to Walsh personally, but
gave them to the banks private book
keeper, B. B. Mckay.
The questioning Of Mclean was
here suspended temporarily and Nc
Kay called to the stand. Nothing ma
terial developed from his answers be-
fore adjournment was taken.
Previous to McLean's appearance
today several men whose names were
signed to memorandum notes testi-
fed that such signatures we're unau-
thorized by them.
