Newton r. Bowers Still A Bankrupt.
United States Judge Morris, of Baltimore,
Monday refused to grant Newton Z. Bowers
his discharge in bankruptcy. Mr.. Bowers
was recently of the firm of Miller &

on Main street, opposite Bond street. Mr..
Bowers made an assignment for the bene
fit of creditors December %, 1905 He
deposited 81 SEQ in the Westminster Saw
ings Bank from 1900 to 1905. On September
a balance of $780, This balance he withdrew
on December 27. 1905, but did not give it to
his trustee to pay his creditors.
Mr. Bowers said the money belonged to his
wife and he gave it to her.
This statement is not corroborated by any
fact or testimony, and rests solely upon his
own bare statement.
Judge Morris says in his opinion in the
case: ''The conclusion from all the testimony
plainly is that on January 26, 1907, when Mr.
Bowers flied his schedule in bankruptcy, he
bad at least portion of the money, and that
if it was not in his actual possession it was
under his control and held for his use. He
returned no individual property except his
clothing and watch. | think the specGca.
ton of concealment is established and that the
bankrupt is not entitled to his discharge
