MLHAEEISOFS ACCOUNTING His Report Shows that He Has Lost All hut SG,OOO of the Fund. Unsuccessful Efforts of His Attorneys to Have His Bond Reduced—Alfred Harrison i f Re-Mortgages His Property.

There was another large attendance at Judge Taylor’s court yesterday morning, brought there in expectation of some action in the matter of the receivership of John C. S. Harrison and the Indiana Banking Company. The report of the receiver was again bofore the court and, the seal of secrecy being removed, the reporters were allowed to read and reproduce in print the remarkable document, which is as follows: [ln vacation: Superior Court.] Mary Morrison et ah vs. William Needham et. aL No. 31227. To the Hon. N. B. Taylor, Judge: In compliance with the order made by your Honor in the above entitled cause in vacation, sitting in chambers, under date of July 24, 1884, and served upon me on said day, I herewith make the following report: _ In obedience to that part of the said order that directs me to forthwith make and file with the clerk of the court a full and detailed report of my actions and doings, receipts and disbursements in said trust I herewith file my itemized statement in detail, showing the receipts and disbursements, and also recapitulations thereof, which are each and all herewith made parts of this report-, marked for identification as statements Nos. 1, 2,3, 4,5, etc. In explanation of No. 4 I would state that John L. Kotcham, Esq., was one of the partners in the firm of the Indiana Banking Company. When that bank failed_he was largely indebted to it on account of notes and overdrafts, and held 399 shares of the capital stock, of the par value of SSO each, in the Haugh, Ketch&m & Cos. Iron Works corporation, which came to me in the manner in said statement set forth. When said stock was sold by mo on the 4th day of February, 1884, under the order of this court, the principal and interest of said indebtedness standing against John L. Ketcham, Esq., was $21,107.80. It was claimed on behalf of said Ketcham that he was entitled t-o have a credit allowed nnto him, and applied on the said sum due and owing by him to the said Indiana Banking Company for services rendered said last mentioned bank before its failure, that matter being unadjusted when said stock was sold by me February 4, 1884, to Silas M. Shepard, trustee, for , $20,000 cash, and the stock having been transferred by me, under the order of this court, as receiver and trustee. In order that this fund might be kept as it then stood, I deposited it in Harrison's bank and took a certificate of deposit, No. 26,812, of the date of February 5, 1884, for $20,000, payable to the order of John C. S. Harrison, receiver and trustee. I am informed there is a controversy over said fnnds as to whether said John L. Ketcham, Esq., shall have an allowance for his alleged services, and as to the direction and ultimate disposition of said money; and further, also, as to whether all or any portion thereof is so chargeable against me as to be covered by my bond given upon my appointment as receiver. Under the circumstances, lam advised by my counsel that I should report the facts, as 1 have now done, and leave these questions for further settlement. I, therefore, report that at the date of said order, to- wit, July 24, 1884, I stood chargeable as receiver with a balance of $81,817.84, and with the further sum of $20,000, the proceeds arising from the sale of 399 shares of stock of Haugh. Ketcham A Cos. lam further directed by your Honor, in and by said order so made, “forthwith to pay over to the clerk of this court all moneys with which I am chargeable in the premises, and file an inventory of all the remaining assets of said trusts.” In compliance with so much of said order as requires me to file an inventory of the assets, I herewith file an itemziod inventory of all the remaining assets of said trust, and make the same a part of this report. I regret that I am compelled to report that I am unable to—except as to the sum of $6,206.79 —comply with the remaining portion of said order. When moneys belonging to said trust came to my hands from time to time, os set forth in said statements, they were deposited in Harrison’s bank, of which banking house I was a member, and received by it in due course of business as other deposits were taken from day to day, and treated and used by it as other general deposits in the regular course of business of said bank, and checked upon by me as such receiver in disbursing said funds under the orders of the court, as is usual in the course of business. After my appointment I was engaged assiduously from day to day, up to the 16th of July, in reducing the assets to money, protecting the trust, and disbursing the fnnds. And believing that I was fairly entitled to some remuneratton for these services, I did, on May 16, 1884, draw a check for the sum of $3,000 to' my own order against said deposit in said bank, which was paid to me, not then anticipating the financial troubles that have sicce arisen, and intending when, thereafter, I might make an application for an allowance, to apply the same thereon. A sudden panic precipitated such demands upon the said bank, on the 16th and 17th of this month, that Robert N. Lamb was appointed receiver thereof on the morning of the 18th of July, 1884. On the 17th of July, 1884, for the purpose of securing said funds, and to protect my bondsmen from ultimate loss, I prepared and executed a mortgage on my residence, which was wholly free from incumbrance, in which my wife joined, nnto them, viz.: Charles Mayer, William E. Haueisen, William Hmrle, George W. Stont, George W. Mannfeld and Alfred Harrison, which was placed on record on the 19th inst. This property is fairly worth $45,000. On the same day, in furtherance of said purpose, Alfred Harrison and myself, comprising said banking firm, with whom a large portion of said funds had been deposited, and which demand they could not meet and discharge, executed another mortgage, in- which our wives joined, to the said bondsmen and sureties on what is commonly known as the Parker Block, which was filed for record on the 19th inst. This property is fairly worth $45,000, and is practically unincumbered; that is to say: On the 15th of August, 1882, the United States Encaustio Tile Works Company executed a mortgage on its corporate property and four other certain parcels of real estate in this city and county, one of which is this block, to the Portsmouth Savings Bank, to secure ten bonds issued by it for SB,OOO each, bearing 6 per cent., one bond falling due annually, on which debt $72,000 is now outstanding. The tile-works are of the value of $200,000, and the three other parcels are of the aggregate value of $30,000. Afterward, said Parker Block, with said other parcels, was conveyed to said A. & J. C. 8. Harrison; and inasmuch as said property and plant of the tile works and said other four parcels are first chargeable with said mortgage debt, and are of the aggregate value of at least $230,000, this block was in equity unincumbered at the time the said mortgage was made to said bondsmen. After the failure of the bank, Alfred Harrison, being a member of the banking-house aforesaid, and being a surety with said other persons on my bond as receiver, and the said banking firm being unable to repay the moneys of said trust so deposited with said firm as aforesaid, and Alfred Harrison being unable to contribute his proportion of said funds to his cosureties, executed and delivered to his co-snreties a mortgage on his residence property in Indianapolis. The realty, so mortgaged to secure said fund, is fairly worth in the aggregate the sum of $112,000. In the mortgage executed on the Parker Block there is a provision to the following effect: To secure the mortgages against any indebtedness of said Alfred and John 0. S. Harrison. Should it be determined that this clause in said mortgage is operative it will reduce the amount of the security on the Parker Block. But unless it should be so reduced the value of the three parcels mortgaged as aforesaid will provide ample security for the balance due of said trust fund. And these are all the means of any and every kind which I am able to provide for the security and payment of said fund. It is now physically impossible for me to pay said sums into court as required, or any part thereof. lam left without any money or property of my own whatever. Respectfully submitted, J. 0. S. Haeeison, Receiver, W. H. H. Miller, who appeared as one of the attorneys for the creditors of the Indiana Banking Company, commenting on the report, said that it showed he could not produce $96,000 of the amount with which he is. eh a ratable and his excuse is insufficient Hecfcpositcd the money in his own bank, but did not show that the hank was solvent, and that he showed simply that he had converted the money to his own use and had not checked it out during his receivership. The Court also thought Mr. Harrison’s excuse insufficient, and said the inventory should be closely examined before the report could be passed upon. Mr. Miilei said the law was clear; that if Mr. Harrison had embezzled the funds he could be punished for his crime in another oourt, and said that he should ask the court to direct the receiver to draw his checks immediately upon the First National Bank, of this city, and the First National Bank, of Sholbyville, for the $6,000 which he says is on deposit in those banks. Further consideration of the matter was then postponed until 2 o’clock this afternoon. In the meantime the detailed statement will be gone over by George C. Duy, who was Mr. Harrison’s assistant in his office as receiver. Mr. A. C. Harris and Mr. J. E. McDonald called on the mayor yesterday, and made a vigorous protest against the $60,000 bail bond required for Mr. Harrison, saying that it was excessive. The mayor, however, thought not, and

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 31, ISB4.

stood firm, refusing to abate the amount. They also visited the station-house and had a conference with Superintendent Lange, the arrest haying been made in his absence. They explained to the superintendent that the presence of the police officers within the residence of Mr. Harrison, who is in bed, under charge of a physician, was an irksome and unnecessary surveillance under the circumstances. The superintendent refused the request, being unable to see bow it could be granted consistent with duty. It is understood that Mr. Harrison’s attorneys will institute habeas corpus proceedings, for the purpose of bringing about a reduction of the bond. In an interview with a News reporter, yesterday, Mr. Harrison said that he deposited the funds that came into his hands as receiver of the Indiana Banking Company in Harrison's Bank, as any other depositor; that at first he divided the deposits, placing a part with the Fletchers, and afterward paid a dividend of $70,000. He did not think the Harrison Bank could go down: it had run so long he thought it would pull through, and sujji it would have pulled through had it not been for the run precipitated by the Fletcher & Sharpe failure. “I never dreamed.” said he, “of bad faith, or wrongful use of the funds, toward anybody; and there would have been no trouble or loss, but for the panic. I have more than secured my bondsmen now, according to Assessor Hadley's estimate of the value of my property turned over.” ALFRED HARRISON’S PROPERTY RE-MORTGAOED. Yesterday afternoon Alfred Harrison, the senior member of the late banking firm of A. & J. C. S. Harrison, made and filed with the county recorder the follow ing mortgage, which, it will be seen, repudiates a mortgage executed by him to Charles Mayer and others, July 18, 1884. The instrument reads as follows; This indenture witnesseth that I, Alfred Harrison, of Indianapolis, Indiana, mortgage and warrant to Adeline F. Hannaman, Desdemona Howland and Lydia B.

Also, the following notes held and owned in her own right by said Lydia B. Harrison to-wit: one dated May 18, 1880, due in twelvemonths, amount $5,000, payable to the mortgageor and others and indorsed by payees to said Lydia B.

The said mortgagees, each and all, by the acceptances of these said mortgages agree to, and they are hereby expressly authorized to contest the validity of a certain mortgage executed by myself to Charles Mayer and others, of date July 18, 1884, upon said premises, which said mortgage to said Mayer and others was and is without consideration to me, and which I now repudiate- And the said mor tgageor expressly agrees to pay the sums of money - above described, and each of them without relief* from valuation or appraisement laws of the State of Indiana. Witness my hand and seal, this 30th dayofJulv, 1884. Alfred Harrison." The witnesses to the above instrument are Janies G. Douglass and Ellen Douglass; the notary public Charles K. Wasson.

The Commissioners Consulting. The school commissioners met last night for the purpose of holding an informal caucus on the subject of the selection of a successor to Professor TarhelL There was a very full attendance and a free expression of preference. Anew phase was put on the question by the appearance, supplied with excellent recommendations, of Professor Hiram L. Peet, of Dubuque, lowa, who appeared upon invitation. On Tuesday Comissioners Carey and Prenzel went to Dayton to inquire more particularly into the character and qualifications of Professor Hancock. The latter returned yesterday and was present last night, but as Dr. Carey was still in Dayton no report was made. Professor Peet made a very excellent impression, and has one or two very warm friends in the board. New Prohibition Paper. The first number of anew paper will be issued in a short time, and all persons who want sample copies will send their names and names of other temperance people to the chairman of the committee, Dr. J.
