bastions of the old tower. He arrived

other than the governor of the Bank

post, a term of service without prece-
dent.

out of the canvas, discarded only his
cap and ruffleS and here he is-there-

ratified, but never he. NoiselesSly he
moves about Europe, fixing things up,
conjuring with his artists fingers, and

an Ascot tie, or pin-stripe trousers, or
designated any particular corner just
around which prosperity is. In fact,
never has he noted or designated any
thing publicly. Never does he give
interviews. No tuft-hunting hostess
ever netted him. An artist, sensitive
and informed in music and literature,
and subtly creative in his threadneedle

air of beneficent conspiracy, with

ACCOUNT
HELD BY DUNCAN
Prosecution Makes DiscIos-
ure Against Former ArIing-
ton County Cerk.
BY staf Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. August 29-After the un-
expected disclosure that the defendant
had maintained private account in a
Washington bank, the prosecution today
rested its case against former County
Clerk William H. Duncan, now being
tried here on charge of embezzling
$7815 from the State.
Counsel for the defendant asked for
a recess when the prosecution rested
and Judge Walter T. Mccarthy recessed
court fer Is minutes. After the recess
the defense began calling character wit
nesseS without making any opening
statement.
Testimony concerning personal ac-
count maintained by Duncan in the
Potomac Savings Bank, Wisconsin ave-
nue. and NJ street, was admitted over
the strenuous objections of Defense At
torneys Amos Crounse and Leo P. Har-
low.
Brought to Light BY Defense.
Collins Denny, jr., assistant State at
torney general, said the prosecution had
lOb GAp~NJCh W SO AllbO tAA4o dNSOhAANi
but that the defense brought it's eX-
iStence to the attention of the jurors in
cross-eXamining a statement Friday.
Denny said the State intended to show
the defendant did not have sufficient
money in this or any other account to
offset the alleged shortage in his &C
count as clerk at the time of the alleged
embeZZlement.
Heretofore, testimony concerning
Duncan's banking transactions has been
limited to joint account he maintained
in the Citizens National Bank OF Alex
andria. 1t developed he kept both
county and personal funds i'll this ac-
count. The State charges he converted
the proceeds of a $7,8l5 State check to
his own use when he was short in his
Office accounts and did not have suft1-
cient money, either personal or othclal,
in the Citizens National Bank to make
up the deficit.
Denny said the prosecution was afraid
the defense attorneys might argue to
the jury that Duncan had an account
in the Potomac Savings Bank and draw
the inference he may have sufficient
money there to meet the deficit unless
his exact balances in that account were
brought into evidence. Judge Mccarthy
admitted the evidence on this theory.
Testifies to Balances.
Charles w. Shoemaker, cashier of the
Washington bank, then testified as to
Duncan's balances from July 1881, the
date when he received the $7.815 check,
through April 2, 1882, the date OF the
alleged embezzlement. According to
the witness, the account was largest
in February, 1881, when Duncan had
TO his credit S5,87205. On April 2, 1882,
he had but S136.72 in that account.
Commemorative Attorney Lawrence
Douglas recalled two witnesses this
morning, Ralph Remington, deputy
clerk of the court, and M. L. Carnifax,
a State auditor. They were placed on
the stand to rectify minor error in
the testimony Friday concerning the
alleged duplication of pay roll checks.
The State contends Duncan prof1ted by
more than $1,000 as a result of the
double withdrawal of funds to meet
the county pay rolls. The witnesses
this morning corrected an error in a
date on one of the checks.
