ed the notices Of closing was allayed
when Superintendent Cheney issued

OF the board of directors for the Bor-
ough bank OF Brooklyn was held at the
office OF the banking department, SO
Broadway at $50 O'Clock, the meeting
having been called by President Shears.
After conference with the superin-
tendent of banks regarding the unusu-
al demand being made upon the insti-
tuition at its Eighth Ward branch and
considering the character and the as-
sets for which the present management
is not responsible the board decided to
request the superintendent to toke pos
session and thus conserve the best in
terests of all Ndepositors.
Pursuant to the request are the
provisions OF the banking law and. the
superintendent has taken possession of
the property and business Of the cor
poration. No further statement regard
ing the condition of the bank will be
made until the inventories have been
completed.

PhiIpott Discharged.
Philpott was discharged after being
questioned short time. He, 1t was
learned. was employed all day yester-
day in Cambridge City unloading coal.
Suspicion was attached to Philpott be-
cause he was one of several men held
on suspicion in connection with the
Lucy murder. He was taken into Gus
tody some eighteen months after that
crime was committed, as result Of q
statement made by Connersville wo-
man to the prosecutor. When Philpott
and the other men were arraigned for
hearing, the woman denied making
any statements to the prosecutor and
the men were then discharged
George DuBoise, whose brother John
was also held in custody on suspicion
of the Lucy murder, was seen talking
with Philpott Saturday night and Mon
day Philpott called at the Allison home
and asked ii Allison had any hogs to
sell.
Appeared Hystsricai.
Chief Gormon states that Allison and
DuBoise acted in a most peculiar man
ner when questioned by him, stating
that they appeared hysterical Both
were on the streets of Cambridge this
morning. Chief Gormon states that
Allison would laugh at many of the
questions put to him and that he did
not act as man. who had suffered
such heavy loss as he has, would be
expected to act. 1t is thought the
mans nervous condition is responsible
for his peculiar actions 1t has been
learned that Mrs. Allison carried q
small insurance policy, the exact
amount not being known.
Another effort will be made to run
down the clue furnished ny Mrs.. Clev-
enger, who saw negro running across

places much reliance In her story and,
although the efforts to run down this

with small tent show. and who calls
himself Chief Thunder Water, and who
says he is q clairvoyant, states that he
