s. The Washington correspondent of the Ro-
chester Chronicle closes recent letter with
the following story:


"The intricacies of law are freshly illus
trated by new story of General Butler, which
1 have just heard. The directors of Boston
bank, having their suspicious aroused, notified
their cashier that an examination of the books
and cash in his possession must be had. The
cal hier went to Butler, aud stated his CASE
He had misappropriated funds of the bank to
the amount of $4,000. Part of this had
been lost in stock speculations, and part was
still invested in various speculative securities.
He asked whether he had not better own up,
restore what he could, and let his bondsmen
make up the deficit. Butler, after some con-
sideration, directed, him to attend the meeting
of directors deny that there was anything
wrong, and if they desired. to surrender the
keys and go home, leaving them in possession.
He did as directed, gave up the keys, and the
directors, upon examining the books and cash
in the vaults, found a deficit, as they antici-
pated, of $4,000. They notified the cashier
and his bondsmen, who in due time appeared,
accompanied by Butler, who, acting as spokes-
man, enquired what the matter was. The
Directors informed him of the facts, and added
Lnat tney QlQ not WISH 10 make ScaHual, anu
if the cashiers bondsmen would make good
the missing cash, no further proceedings would
be had. General Butler coolly replied that
there must be some mistake. His client had
surrendered the bank and funds, as required
by his bond, IF there was any deficit it must
have occurred after the directors took posses
sion He would assure them that they could
not take possession of the bank and It's con-
tents and come upon the bondsmen also. If
they would accept the cashiers resignation
and give him the usual certificate OF good
character, they would call it square and let
the matter drop. The directors now began to
see the dilemma in which they were placed
and sent for lawyer, only to find that they
had made false step; that they had no
proper evidence of the amount of cash in the
bank when surrendered by the cashier and
that in taking possession they had lost their
only remedy. As it would not do to let the
stockholders know how they had been over
reached, the directors had to 60 to work and
make up the loss out of their own pockets
They gave their defaulting cashier the GER
tiGcate of character which he demanded and
he went to work in another bank in the same
city, few weeks afterward What part of
the stolen $4,000 Butler got for his fec I
