SAID TO HAVE CONFESSED
Misappropriation of Funds Dates
Back Thirty-Five Years.
OFFICIAL GIVES $l0,50O BAIL
Savings Institution at Westfield
Mass, Will Not Be Affected
by the Shortage.

WESTFIELD, Mass, December 81
Following the discovery of an alleged
shortage of nearly 10000 in the funds OF
the Westfeld Savings Bank, the treasurer
OF the institution. Velerus W. Crowson,
was placed under arrest and arraigned in
court tonight.
According to statement issued by
State Bank Commissioner Arthur d.
Chaplin. Crowson has confessed to mis-
appropriation of the funds of the bank.
Crowson was arraigned before Judge
Willis :. Kellogg in the local district
court, charged with making false returns
to the bank commissioner on seven
counts. He pleaded not guilty and was
held for the grand jury January IA in
$1,jO0 bond on each count. a total OF
s70.50O. He secured bail and was re-
leased. An hour previous TO his ar
raignment in court Crowson had re-
signed as treasurer of the bank
Charge Against Crowson.
Crowson was charged with making
false returns rather than with larceny
because, according to the bank COM
missioner. no money has been taken
from the bank since 1899, and the mis-
appropriations extend over a period of
twenty-four years previous to that
date.
The shortage will not result in the
closing of the bank, Commissioner Cha :
pin said, as the institution has ample
| surplus from which to charge off the
! loss. The depositors will not only be
paid in full, but the officials of the
bank will. Monday. declare the usual
isemi-annual dividend of per cent.
Statement of Commissioner.
In his statement issued this evening
| Bank Commissioner Chaplin says:
A shortage has been discovered in
the Westfield Savings Bank amounting
to $59,906. caused by the misappropria-
| ton of the funds by the treasurer He
| confesses to having taken the money
| during the years from 1875 to 1899, in
elusive. but alleges tnat no money has
been taken from the bank since 1899.
The bank is in a strong position
and no uneasiness need be felt as to
| its financial condition"

JUDGE BLAIR MERC|FUL,
GRANTS WOMAN PLEA
Aged Wife of Indicted Man
Gives Up Her Mite and
Seeks Leniency.

WEST UNION, Ohio. December 81
After a score of persons indicted for Civ
ing or receiving brides in the recent
election, including several veterans of the
civil war, had presented themselves to-
day and had been let off with the mini
mum punishment. an aged woman ap-
preached Judge Blair. She had walked
over many miles of Adams county in an
effort to raise the money to pay fines
which had been assessed against her aged
husband and invalid son. both of whom
had been named in true bills, charging
them with selling their votes.
She had been successful in raising only
a part of the money and had walked from
her home. fifteen miles distant, to enter
a plea of guilty for each and, with the
payment of her mite. to ask a remission
of any other punishment. Judge Blair
tempered justice with mercy and sus-
pended the fines in the cases of both.
\ judgment of disfranchisement against
each for five years was entered. Then
calling a deputy sheriff, the judge or
dered that the now happy old woman be
taken to the village hotel and served to
the best meal to be had without cost to
herself.
Indictments Number 1858.
The departing year was marked in thi:
county seat by a grand jury report which
turned rs additional indictments
against voters of Adams county charging.
them with either bribery or acceptance OF
brides in connection with the traffic il
votes. The grand total of those indicted
at the present term is now l,25S.
The grand jury recessed this afternoon
and will resume its sittings Monday.
Today. as for nearly two weeks past
there was a steady stream of marcher:
to the mercy seat over which Judge
Blair presided, and there were comics
sions in person and by proxy.
Aged men and young men walked into
court and asked the judge to be as lenien
as possible in dealing with them
