Montgomery Talks.
For the first time since his defalcation
was discovered Montgomery unbosomed
himself during the four hours that he was
in charge Of the officials In the presence
of witnesses he told part Of the story
OF the looting Of the bank. A stenogre-
pher took down his words which will be
used in an effort to regain some of the
stolen money. The only part of the
confession given out last night by Bank
Examiner Folds was that Montgomery
had exonerated all the politicians whose
names have been brought into the case.
He also gave information which will
probably result In the arrest of several
others.
Examiner Folds said that, although the
defalcation of Montgomery would reach
81 go 600 and probably more, the capital
Of the bank is intact. About S}00OO has
been recovered in notes and stocks
Defaulter Rearrested.
Montgomerys rearrest yesterday was
spectacular. AS soon as 1ener. the bonds
man. discovered the extent of Montgom-
ery's defalcations he announced to L. S.
Commissioner William e. Lindsay that
he would surrender the former cashier.
At 2 o'clock Deputy United States Mar
shall Mckinney. with a bailpiece, located
Montgomery at the Office of his attorney.
G. c. Dickey. Accompanied by the at
torney, he went to the office of Commits
sioner Lindsay, who turned him over a
prisoner to United States Marshal Ste
phen P Stone. his friend of thirty years.
Tears ran down the cheeks Of the mar
shall as he took charge Of Montgomery.
Within a short time Mr.. Tener Richard
r. Quay Bank Examiner William l..
Folds. Commissioner Lindsay. Attorney
Dickey and Marshal Stone withdrew to
the latters private office. Then began an
effort to draw from Montgomery some of
the facts in connection with his wrong
doings. Ever since his arrest he has been
absolutely communicative. The
United States officials and officials of the
bank realized that statement from
Montgomery would be necessary il any
of the money was to be recovered
Prisoner Breaks Down.
For an hour after the little party en-
tered the Office together Montgomery
maintained his stubbornness. He is a
physical wreck. For four days and nights
he has had no sleep, and he trembled
from nervousness and exhaustion.
Finally Montgomery broke down and
said he would make a statement. so a
stenographer was summoned. The ques-
tons were asked by Bank Examiner
Folds. while Dickey, the attorney for
MONTGOMERY. saw that his client did not
,ncr;minate himself. 1t was O'Clock last
evening before Montgomery had finished
his story.
Meantime Tener and Richard Quay had
had frequent conferences. and at the con-
clusion of Montgomery's statement they
announced that they would become his
bondsmen in the sum of 100000 the
amount demanded by Commissioner Lind
sXv. The new bail bond had been pre-
pared. and, after it had been signed by
Tener and Quay. Montgomery was told
that he was free until May Is. when he
will be called for preliminary hearing.
Montgomery broke down m completely
was so weak, that he could scarcely
stand and he was half led and half car
ried to a carriage which had been called
to take him to his home Two of Mont
eomery's most intimate friends went
home with him. So fearful are they that
he will attempt to take his life that a
constant guard will be kept with him
day and night
