Retirement from Trust Company.
As soon as the Morse banks went down
attention was centered on the Knicker-
booker Trust. One Of the directors Of the
Knickerbocker had spent the summer in
Europe, and had heard that Mr.. Barney
was too heavily interested with Morse
lie taxed Mr.. Barney with the matter.
and the latter admitted that he had a
loan Of more than S2O0,O0O from the Ma
tional Of North America, and one OF
$4,000 from the New Amsterdam. a de-
mand was made that Mr.. Barney should
take UP these loans. He said that he
was not IN a position financially 10 do so.
This revelation caused alarm among the
directors. and also became known to the
officers OF the National Bank Of Com
merce, which cleared for the knickeT-
booker Trust, and led 10 the notice that
hereafter the National Bank Of Commerce
would not longer clear for tho Knicker-
booker. This led TO a demand upon Mr.
Barney by the directors that he resign
as president Of the Knickerbocker. which
he did on October q. a. Foster Hig-
gins was chosen as his successor. The
next day the KnickerbOcker closed its
doors. after paying out 100000 TO de-

Success Was Immediate.

Charles y. Barney. the former presi-
dent of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany, who shot himself in New York
early in the week, was the son Of a. II.
Barney, who was one Of the presidents
of the United States Express Company,
and a prosperous merchant and all around
business man in Cleveland
He was born in that city on January q,
ISL. His father had him educated in pri-
vate school, after which he went TO Will
Jams College, from which he was gradu-
aztec in 1872 He then went to New York.
and through the influence OF his father,
engaged in the banking business. Two
years later he married Miss Lily Whit
Dey, sister of the late William c. Whit
ney. This association with the Whitney
family led to further business opportuni-
ties, largely in real estate developments
and speculation, and in a few years Mr.
Barney became known as one of the most
successful and expert real estate opera
tors in New York. This business put
him into constant business relations with
large financial interests and he soon as
! ISOLATED the business of banking with
i
that of real estate speculation. Although
he had become prominent as a banker Il
was as a real estate man that he was
| best known.
/ Before the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany crash came. Mr.. Barney was a. di-
rector IN no less than thirty-eight bust
ness enterprises, largely financial in char
acter.
President of Three Companies.
He was president of these companies:
Knickerbocker Trust Company; Kncker-
booker Safe Deposit Company, and the
New York Loan and Improvement Com
pany He was vice president, of these
companies: Century Realty Company.
! New York Mortgage and Security Com
pany. and the Title Insurance Company.
In all the other concerns he was simply
a director. He resigned eight months
ago as director of the Hudson Mort
gage Company because he said he could
not find time TO attend the meetings OF
the directorate. Mr.. Barney was also
President Of the New Theater Company.
His fortune last summer was estimated
to be from $S.OOO.OOO to $9OOO.O0O>
Several years ago Mr.. Barney became
associated with Charles W. Morse in the
American Ice Company. and he also
became a director in the Morse banks
the National of North America and New
Amsterdam. This association with tn,
fact that Mr.. Barney had Overextendet
