New York, Oct 23.-There was a
American Bank this morning. 1t was
stated that the company had twelve
millions in the vault to begin pay
ment to depositors- Today a commit,
tee representing the associated banks
of the city began an exhaustive eX
animation of the books and securi
ties and it was stated that the re
suit bears out the statement of the
officers. Aid will be extended in what
ever amount may be required
A crowd also surrounded the Offices
of the Knickerbocker Trust Co this
morning in the hope that it would
resume payments. Bankers do not
regard the position of the Knicker-
booker Company as very favorable
and were inclined to let it go into
liquidation.
The announcement was made to
day that Oakleigh Thorne, president
of the Trust Company of America,
had sold the control of the Georgia
railroad which ne purchased joint J
with Marsden J. Perry last July. Mr..
Thorne declined to say to whom the
road had been sold, but denied that
the sale was to the Rock Island inter
ests.
Over 600 persons crowded the of
fees of the Trust Company of Amer
ica when the nour for opening arriv-
ed.
Acting State superintendent of
Banks Skinner took possession of the
Trust Co. today under
advice of the attorney general.
Anxiety over the trust company
and banking situation continued to
the close of business hours today, al
though the nervousness and alarm
so noticeable yesterday were co1sid-
erably lessened by the presence of
Secretary of the Treasurer COrtel-
you in the city and his promise to
at the sub-treasury through
out the day Cortelyou's statement
made last night affirming the solvent
of the banks of this city
had a very good effect on sentiment
and served to relieve the apprenen-
siOns of business men that the cur
tailment of credits might hamper the
financing of general mercantile af
fairs. An unfavorable development of
the night was the news that the
Trust Company of America, one of
the city's largest financial institu-
tions, with deposits approximating
fifty million dollars and assets and
liabilities in excess of sixty millions
had requested assistance.
Westinghouse Electric sold down

decline of 1875 from last night.

CAN GET MAIL AT ANY
HOUR OF THE NIGHT.


The recent robbery Of the Roswell
postoffice has worked a hardship on
the clerks of that institution, but
benefit for the people. The inspector
who Investigated the robbery has or
1ered that a clerk remain in the office
all night every night and it will be
his duty to open every incoming
mail. no matter at what hour it ar
rives and distribute to those having
boxes Thus no matter how late the
night train comes in the mail will be
opened and placed in the boxes for
those who nave important matter
coming that must be received at
once. The ruling of the inspector on
the robbery was that no negligence
had been shown by the local officials
and that they would not be required
to bear the loss. Since the robbery
it has leaked out that there was over
5000 in gold in the safe the night of
the robbery and it was missed by the
man who worked the combination so
easily. The amount taken was little
over $50.

CORRUPTION OF COURTS IN
NEW MEXICO is CHARGED

Ell Paso Herald Special
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct 19.-The Dem
ocrats of New Mexico will nave good
campaign material to offer to the peo-
pie in the next campaign in the re-
marks made by Assistant U. S. At
torney General McHarg before Judge
McFie il the matter of issuing at
tachments for certain witnesses want
ed by the government from the state
Of New Jersey.
McHarg apparently became excited
and let out a warmer roast" than
has ever been administered to Repub-
lican officials by any newspaper or
political convention il the territory.
McHarg intimated that he was not
caring much for the court or anybody
around the territory; that ne was
nere to see that the laws were en-
'orced and that they would be, even
if it was for the first time in these
courts
He declared that the courts in New
Mexico were run by the politicians,
and that jury manipulators were part
Of the machinery.
He insisted that the workings of the
present jury would be kept secret.
despite the efforts to get informa-
tion''
No Democratic newspaper or speak
er has ever given the Republican par
ty in New Mexico such a mauling as
it received in the court room from
McHarg.
The proceedings before the court
were lively. Catron, Hawkins and
Spiess appeared to resist the motion
Of the United States for al attach
ment against the persons of three
women witnesses summoned from the
state of New Jersey. 1t appeared that
one witness was too far advanced in
age to make the journey, and that an
other was too i'll. McHarg wanted at
tachments issued for at least two of
them. but the court refused upon the
showing made, but did grant an at
tachment for one, a negro woman.
During the arguments the attorneys
developed much bitterness. McHarg
insisted that statement offered by
Spiess was not true, and McHarg
promptly added him to one of the well
known Roosevelt societies. McHarg
men made a statement to the court
to the effect that he had known moth
ing of the refusal of these Witnesses
to attend until Saturday afternoon.
1t is already known that the Dem
ocrats will incorporate the McHarg
charges in their next platform. Accor-
ding to McHarg, the courts of the ter
ritory are corrupt and tne practice is
20 manipulate the juries in the inter
ests of the politicians il power.

KEYNOTE OF DEFENSE
Insanity Line Taken at the Fairbanks
Trial.

Brattleboro, Oct. 2S.-Mental irres

Tense today at the trial of William Fair

Grout at Saxtons River May rs.
No alienist has yet testified. but all
the Witnesses today declared that In
their opinion William Fairbanks had
Lot been of sound mind for some time
previous to the fatal shooting, and one
witness said he considered him in
sane. According to the testimony of
! George Townsend Of Dummerston for
whom Fairbanks finished work week
before the shooting, Fairbanks said on
the day that he left that he was going
to Bellows Falls and Neither God,
man or the devil could keep him
from going, which Mr.. Townsend con-
sidered an unnatural remark. The
testimony of Mr.. Townsend in regard
to Fairbanks having a sunstroke in
1906 and having wild manner about
him afterward was corroborated by
his son, Charles Townsend
James Carroll of Claremont, N. H.,
for whom Fairbanks worked several
months in 1908, 1904 and 1906 said that
at times Fairbanks had strange look
in his eyes and that sometimes one
would find him standing with flushed
! face, gazing at the ground and that it
would be necessary to speak to him a
second time before getting an answer.
lie said he saw Fairbanks in Bellows
Falls the day of the shooting and was
around the railroad station for 20 min
utes before leaving for home, but did
not see Fairbanks there.
Arthur Fitch, Claremont farmer,
was the last witness. Fairbanks work
| ed for him in the winter of 1904. He
said Fairbanks told him not to be
| frightened If he heard strange noises
! in the night, as he sometimes had bad
/ spells Mr. Fitch said he believed
3 Fairbanks insane at times and said
thai following the bad spells referred
to Fairbanks would have headaches
and flushed face. He testified that
! Fairbanks was not n drinking man.
