eel the likelihood of other arrests being made? was under discussion. The conversation came to an abrupt termination as the marshal came in. Mr. Rexford displayed Rome slight nervousness as the marahal read the warrant. At Its conclusion he expressed surprise end remarked: "I have committed no wrong? knowingly, and I hardly expected this." Without further expression the cashier accompanied the marrhal to his office and arranged to secure lond. He had no difficulty in this, and in a half hour his sureties h id si,Tned the required bond of J3.000. The tondsmea are Norman S. Byrarn, V. T. Malott. Otto N. Frenzel. Frederick Fahnley and Stoushton J. Fletcher. The bond of Mr. Peirce was also fixed at J3.0O0. He was found ki his office, at No. 17 South Meridian street, by Deputy Foley. Mr. Peirce was agitated when the warrant was read, but had little to say. Like Mr. Rexford. he evinced surprise, and said that he could not undertsand why he should be brought Into the bank trouble. He accompanied the officer to the marshal's office, and was shortly Joined by John S. Lazarus. The bond was prepared and signed by Mr. Lazarus, who first made affidavit that he possessed real estate over and above the value of 110.000. Immediate
after his arrest Cashier Ilexford left the marshals omce nnd went out Into the treet. Mr. Peirce. with his bondsman, hurried over to the office of the United States clerk and requested to be shown the charges made against him by the crand Jury. He was taken Into Clerk Butler's private office, and the indictment placed before hlrn. He did not leave the office ntll nearly 6 o'clock. Ju lge Baker announced that the men mentioned jn the other five Indictments vrould not be compellM to pive new bond until after Jan. 15. The marshal was Instructed to serve notice on all the indicted persons to appear In court on the above date and make answer to the charges agulnst them. On that date the cases will Le Bet down for trial. Till: lIAtCIIHY I.DICTMEXT. It Contains Over 10O.OO0 Words ami Ilrfntc Out .mv Facts. Conspicuously displayed in the office of the United States clerk, last night, was a bulk of manuscript, the most extensive of its character ever filed in the United States Court. The voluminous document, corarrisincr 432 pases, u the indictment against Theodore P. Haughey, president of the Indianapolis National Bank. One hundred and sixty-seven distinct counts are set forth on the paes of the document, and represent the major portion of nearly two months deliberations of the prand Jury. ZThe indictment sets out in detail the history of the corrupt institution of which Mr. Hauhey was at the head. CHAUGL'D WITH EMBEZZLING 70O,0OO. The jury begins the lengthy list of charges by lindjntr that Theodore P. Haughey, by virtue of hU office as president of the bank, did, without the authority of the directors, unlawfully, feloniously and willfully embezzle, abstract and misapply the moneys, funds and credits of said banking associal tlon In tho sum of $700,000, with Intent "to Injure and defraud the said national bankins association, contrary to the forrr.3 of the statute of the United States in such pases, and against the peace and dignity tf the United States of America." This i3 the first count the indictment sets out. and then it goes on to the second, where it Is charged by the grand Jury that Theodore X. Haughey, on Jan. 1, 1831, and at divers times between this date and JuIy2G, 1S03, tild unlawfully misapply the funds of the Indianapolis National Bank by permitting Pcnuyler c. Haughey, the Indianapolis 'Glue Company, Indianapolis Curled Hair Company, Francis A. Coffin. Percival B. Coffin, the Indianapolis Cabinet . Company and divers other persons to overdraw their accounts at the bank in a large Bum. to-wit. the sum of J7J0.000, while knowing each of these persons and companies to be wholly insolvent. Further, it la charged in the second count that Theodore Haujrhey cashed and paid certain Worthless draft3 drawn on Well Brothers. Chicago, in the sum of $0,000, out of the funds of the bank; also, that he paid out Of the moneys and credits worthless drafts drawn by the Indianapolis Glue Company on one J. H. Yocum. of Chicago, in the sum of 0,000, and discounted and cashed "With the bank's funds worthless and Insolvent notes executed by the Indianapolis Glue Company to the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company by Charles Geist, John F. .White and F. Strassner in the sum of 5200,000. Again he misapplied funds in paying worthless notes executed bv Francis A. Coffin. Percival P. Coffin and the Indianapolis Cabinet Company in the sum of Jloo.OuO, and in cashing insolvent drafts and bills of exchange drawn by the Indianapolis Cabinet Company on the Indianapolis Desk Company, of London, England, in the sum of $10,000. Then it Is charged that insolvent notes executed by the Indianapolis Plow Compiiny for SHOjO were cashed in bad faith by the president for the use of the Indianapolis Cabinet Company and the glue work 3. It Is alleged in the seventh count of the Indictment that Theodore P. Haughey. on July 23, 1S03. converted $350,not) of the bank's funds to the use of the Indianapolis Cabinet Company in permitting accounts to be overdrawn in said sum; also, in permitting the Indianapolis Glue Company to overdraw its account to the amount of $250,000. SThe twe'fth count charges that between the ?ati?s ot J,Vin- I' S?1 i,lvl Juy 1S3:. the JndlanapoIU 'url-d Hair Company owe! the Indianapolis National Hank the sum of muw, and that, in order to cover up and conceal this large overdraft and loan, and to make It appear that the amount had not V?? Jailed to the Indianapolis Curled Ilalr ComiKiny, but to make it appear that tnu sum had been loaned to John F White iitirI; rlst' A' lSrniancv. K. L. Couper. K btrassner. S. C. Hau-hey. U (. Haughey and others, that Theodore P Jiaughey took the promissory notes of these p-irties. in order that it might l uwn that loans had ben made to each f Ll V n ,arK 5Uaw. nen in truth not one of the parties received any part of these leans, but that the sum went to the u.m of the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company. The fact that all the executor of the notes w.re wholly insolvent was well 'V, T,r?Lr.e I' Hauhey. Further. 5- Vw,cWIVd,thal he receive. I from the w WlaLr Company worthless drafts on "Weil Prothers. of Chicago, for ; 10 nn.t on J. H. Yocum for 5.78. said Well Brothers and J. H. Yocum Udng wholly tnsolvent and not in the debt of the Curled Hair Company in any sum whatever FAVOitS TO THE HAUGHEY ENTERPRISES. The twelfth count charges that on Jan. 1. 191. and on divers times until July 25. 1S33. President Haughey feloniously misapplied fundj of the bank. Intending to convert the same to the U3e of the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company, to the amount of CuO.wH). by permitting the company to overdraw its account to this amount and In loaning to said company said sum at one and the sam time. This count showed that this loan was In violation of the ten-j-r-cent. feature of the banking law. The mxt count charges him with irmitting the Fail company to overdraw its account S-2.i. the company having no funds to its credit and Haughey having a knowledge of Its insolvency. The fourteenth count, which is clothed In the same general language concerning his felonious misapplication of moneys, charges Mm with converting to the uso of the Indianapolis Glue Company $2o0.00 by discount ng the company's worthless notes and tills of exchange when he knew the parties giving and indorsing the netes were wholly insolvent. On the next count he Is charged, with converting to the use of the In-iianajMlis Curled Hair Company ITuo.oift) by discounting worthies notes and drafts. The next co int pertains to this same charge, but the language Is so drawn as to cover any loophole that might be found In the preceding count. The seventeenth count U another change of language. Th elhte-nth count charge: him with giving the Ir.'Uanapolfs Cabinet Comi-uny S.'Z0,fH by letting It overdraw Its .mount wh.-n he knew the company was Insolvent. The nineteenth and the twentieth counts, change the language of the preceding. Tlie tWKUty-ilrst and twenty-becoud counts cov
er the large sum leaned the glue company, and state that worthless notes were put in the bank to deceive any agent appointed by the Controller of the Currency to examine the affairs of the bank. A considerable number of the counts that follow treat of the loans made to the.e two companies, in which Schuyler Haughty, the president's on. was so largely Interested, and speak specifically of the worthless notes put in the bank by "dummiaV and among the names of those to whom sums were ostensibly advanced are John F. White, Charles Gelst. E. F. Cooper. A. P. S'prunc?l Kr Strainer. Schuyler C. Haughey, itr' IIaUKhey and others. The notes of th,.tamountefl to &2.K1.03; Getst's notes. .J,SfJ..2; Strassner a notes, $28,112.41; E. F. Coorer, $.y,07S.S.'j; Schuyler Haughey. $34.-a3'4!i.A--ol!: Pruance. $33.50); L. C. Haughey. Xo4,o.8.79. It Is citel tnat none of th-se mrtles received these sums. The "bUnd" drafts and acceptances drawn upon Weil Pros., of Chicago, for 1I0.4M.10, and upon J. II. Yocum for $2y.550.78. and which were paid by the bank, also received treatment in the counts. In the thirty-third count the insolvent notes of Francis A. Coffin for $21,927.W, Percival H. Coffin S27.1WL78. Indianapolis Cabinet Company tZ.TZZ.Z), Indianapolis llow Company $30.2 W.25. Indianapolis Veneer and 1'anel Company $:il.4J2.9J are described, as well as the drafts on the American Desk Company, of Chicago, for $7,.os.K on the Indiana Cabinet Company, of Poston. for &0,m25. on the Indianapolis Iesk Company, of Londan. for $40,837.21. on the Indianapolis Oiflce Furniture Company, of New York, for $47.&tJ2.',5. on the Unitfnl Statr Offlce Furniture Company for $2G.Wli.2. and drafts of the Wooten Offioe Desk Company, of Richmond, Ind., for $18,.33. The indictment contends that all of these persons and corporations were Insolvent, as Haughey well knew. The thirty-fifth count charges the president with converting to his own use $9,080.C5 and his account credited with this amount when he was not entitled to it One of the counts speaks of the sum advanced to the cabinet company as becoming wholly lost to the bank. The forty-third count mentions a $3,000 draft, drawn by the Link, on the Third National Dank of New York, upon receipt of a check for such amount from the Indianarolis Glue Company, when the president knew the glue company had no funds in the- bank and was insolvent. Drafts, It would s?em, were honored by checks Kiven by tho glue company when the president knew that the glue company had no funds. These drafts are in different amounts which go to help swell the total mentioned in the earlier counts of the indictment. A bill of exchange, cashed for the cabinet company and drawn on the desk company, of London, for 1,134 pounds sterling Is mentioned in the fifty-first count, when it is alleged that the de.k company of Iondon did not owe the Indianapolis company any sum whatever. No one count contains charges of a series of misappropriations, but each item is covered by a count, and this helps to swell the great volume of the Indictment. THE PEIRCE LOANS. Certain counts In the seventies bring in the misapplication of money for the benefit of the National Electric Headlight Company in sums of $175, $3,407.78, $2.30), $3,331X3, $2.3o7. One of the company's notes for $2,S67.7.", to the Steel pulley works was discounted. It is charged that the headlight company was Insolvent. The seventy-sixth count charges Haughey with taking a note of It. 13. F. Peirce for $5,2S0.60, for which a draft was given on the Third National Rank of New York, and that Peirce was known by Haughay to be insolvent. The seventy-eighth count says that Haughey loaned the headlight company without any Fecurlty except ncte.i, when he knew it was insolvent, the sjm of $11,000, which was in direct violation cf the banking lav. The next count charges the president wdth Issuing three certificates of deioslt for $10,(XX) each on July 10, two weeks before the bank failed, when he had no funds on deposit. These certificates were indorsed to the National Rank of the Rr-;ublic ol Chicago, 111. One count alleges uiat this was done for the purpose of deceiving tho bank examiner. The ninety-seventh count calls attention to a felonious entry on individual ledger L of the bank under the account of the glue company. The false entry alleged Is in the credit column and purports to show that the prlue company on Feb. 5, 1S2, deposited $5,117.87 when. In fact, it was only entitled to a credit of $5,000. Another count alleges a false entry In the curled hair company's account when an entry of $7,0SJ.S5 was made Instead of the proper entry of $7,000. A like false entry is charged in the glue company's account on March 20. 193, when $3,255.75 was entered Instead of $3,000. On Feb. 10. 1S03. the glue company was credited with $3,1S1.67 instead of $1,920. The 105th count alleges a felonious entry on Jan. 6. 1S33, when the Indianapolis Cabinet Company was credited with a deposit of $23,063.04, when the company had not deposited any part of such amount. Another false entry on Jan. 5. 1S33. of $2,723.10 In favor of the cabinet company, when said company did not make such deposit is alleged. The next mentioned false entry for the cabinet company was on Sept. 17, 1S53, for $13,273.09. when the company did rot make such deposit. Then comes a description of a false entry on March 30. lSr2. for $20,4.76, when the company was entitled to a credit of only $17,027.05. The 113th count charges Haughey with altering and forging a draft and acceptance dated Nov. 2S, lS?, drawn by the Indianapolis Glue company on the Raber Glue Company, of Pittsburg. It Is charged that he changed the date on the draft from Dec. 31. 1S0O. the date It was due, to D?c. 31. lSd, and that he did this to deceive the bank examiner. This count would indicate that the draft was worthless, and that the date on It was changed so that It might be carried In the bank as assets. The amount of the draft was $0,932.95. It is further alleged that he altered a draft for $t3,7RS2, drawn by the Rader Glue Company nnd indorsed bv the Curled Hair Companr. The draft was dated due Jan. IS, 1K2. it Is charged that Haughey changed tho year from 1801 to 12. The llfith count accuses him of advancing the date of a draft for a like amount Indorsed by the Indianapolis Glue Company. He is charged with making false entries on the bank books in connection with these drafts. MORE FORGERIES. The 119th and succeeding counts treat of alterat!ons made by Haughey on the discount register, which showed as live assets certain paper that had been long since defaulted. It is charged that the books show that an ?8,."'i note of W. A. Hoeveler & Co. had been paid on July 12, 1S93. when the president knew that the note had been due on July 13. 1SL, and that the date last above mentioned had been altered nnd forged by Haughey to make the entry show that the note was due In 1S92. It will be noticed that the records crpdit the note wih being paid two davs before the bank failed. In the 12::d count it is stated that tho president fals?ly credited himself on Julv 21. 131. as trustee, with a deposit of $9,:.0, and that the books showed that he had a total credit of J1V0D as trustee, when In fact he did not deposit such sum and was not entitled on his account as trute to thi or any other sum. It Is claimed that this entry was made to defraud the bink. It is supposed that Haughey. knowing the bank was nlout to fail, sought to get this sum under cover for the Odd Fellows, who had intrusted him with their funds. A. false entry crdltlng th Indianapolis ChblnH Company with $l!.oeo on May 29. 1S93. wh?n the company had made no such deposit, is alleged in tho 127th count. A fa..v .riit of $2.t?5.".i en Juiy 12. K93, in favor of the Curled Hair Company is alleged in count 12$. One In favor of the Glue Compeny for M.OT.0.1) Is allrged on Julv 12. im Haughey is charged with falselv eredtting himself with $R.Uo on Aug. 20. li'Jl: th Indiar.apolls Curled Hair Company on Ausr. 12. iv.d. with $5,191.93; the Curled Hair Company on Aug. . 191. with $4.27 U'S; a false entry of $3.uX on Sept. 2S. Ib91. Not until the 141st count are the false reports to the Controller of the Currency mentioned. In this count the president is accused of making a false statement on July 15. 1S93, of the resources and liabilities of the bank. The false statement embraces items of overdrafts, sums due from banks, checks, under the head of liabilities, demand certificates of deposit, bills payable, loans and discounts, bad debts, etc. These items were false, it is charged, in that, first, an amount of $f).617.06 was due from customers on account of overdrafts ir stead of $2.9r2.GS, the amount named in the report: that there was due at the time of the r?port from national banks only $72.S74.04, Instead of $1."2.193.3S, the amount named in the report; that there was due from other national banks and the reserve agents $13.0"o. Instead of $1.3JI.32; that there wis due from private and State banks only $20.'Xu. Instead of $29.523.tCi; that thera was due th hank on checks an 1 cash items $13,597.14. Instead of J5.CS0.11; that the demand ctrtificates of deIoslt outstanding was $30,t00 I?ss than the amount named in the reiort; that the bills payable were $20.0iK) more than the sum named in the report; that there were JCo.Coo bad debts in the bank; that the overdue paper amounted to $Io.00u more than was Kiven; that there wus due as loans from various persons suras much larger than 10 per cent, of the capital stock of the bank; that there was outstanding against the bank certificates of tljxit amounting to $3.e00 mon- th;n the tlgrsres given In the statement; that Haughey was u guarantor on paper to the extent of Jt'i,T'2.15. more or less, instead of $224. as he swore in the statement; that R. It. F. IV'ree. a director, was a guarantor on papep due the Lank In th' sum of S2.r.. Te charges of many false statement.- in the Marcii rtporU are made. All ie of te
same general tenor, only varying as to amounts. Iteports for several years back are quote! In the concluding- counts of the Indictment, and It would take, a huge mass of figures to explain the discrepancies alleged by the Indictment In these reports. In the report on Dec. 2, 1S31, it Is charged that the bank did not have $120, UX) In legal tender notes, but, in fact, had only $13,175. The earliest report in evidence 13 that of Dec. 19, 1890. In this it is charg3d. among other things, tht at that time there was due the bank front the Chase National Rank of New York only $19,000 ln-stead of $104,S74.C5. Each discrepancy in each Item of each report is explicitly described. The 167th and final count deals with the false report of the bank's condition published in the local newspapers on July 15, 1S93. The indictment covers 492 pages of typewritten copy, which makes over loo, 000 words. AIIH.VG AND A n El TIX G.
Fifty Counts la the Indictment AjritliiMt (he Coffin nnd Reed. It took fifty counts to cover the crimes charged against Francis A. Coffin, Percival R. Coffin and Albert S. Reed in the indictment against them. They are, like Schuyler C. Haughey, accused of aiding and abetting Theodore P. Haughey in misapplying the bank funds and in making false entries and reports to cover up the same. There is a recital In the first sixteen counts of the manner In which money was obtained from the bank by the Indianapolis Cabinet Company, an Insolvent concern, between Jan. 1, 1S91, and July 23, 1893. The moneys obtained In this way amounted to $100,000. The counts charge that President Haughey misapplied this amount in paying it out on checks and drafts which he knew to be worthless, and that Francis A. Coflln, Percival B. Collin and Albert S. Reed were guilty of aiding and abetting the crimes. The seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second and twenty-third counts show how the sum of S373,0(O was paid out of the bank to the Indianapolis Cabinet Company between Jan. 1. 1S91, and July 25. 1893. by cashing a large number of notes known to be worthless and uion Insolvent perrons. It Is also shown that this amount is above the ten-per-cent. limit, upon which basis loans are made by law. The twenty-fourth to the thirty-sixth counts recite the story of how the bank was looted of $350,000 at various times between Jan. 1, 1S31, and July 25. 1S93, by cashing worthless checks and drafts drawn by and upon worthless persons, by loaning money to the Indianapolis Cabinet Company, by allowing the cabinet company to overdraw Its account, and to conceal the overdrafts, Haughey received from the company a large number of worthless notes and gave credit to the company on the books for the face value of the notes, all of which were of insolvent persons, as follows: Of Francis A. Cotfin. $21,927.99; of Percival II. Cothn, $27,1M.73: of the Indianapolis Cabinet Company. $33,729.29: of the Indianapolis Plow Company. $30,242.05; of tho Indianarolis Veneer and Panel Company, $31,422.93; notes and drafts on the American Desk and Seating Company, of Chicago, $7,70S.1G; drafts on the Indiana Cabinet Company, of Boston, $50,209.23: drafts on the Indianapolis Desk Company, of London. England. $40,837.21; drafts on the Indianapolis Office Furniture Company, of New York, $47.Sr(2.f5; drafts on the United States Otllce Furniture Company, $25,0G2.C2: drafts on the Wooten Desk Company, of Richmond, Ind.. $4$.53.33. It Is charged that Haughey knew that each of these persons, firms companies and corpo rat ions were Insolvent, and the Coffins and Reed aided and abetted him. The indictment further charges that the Coffins and Reed were parties to the false entries and reports made by Theodore P. Haughey. which were made nt various times to hide the true condition of the affairs of the bank and to deceive the agents of the government whose duty it is to examine national banks. On March SO, 1S92, an entry was made In the ledger showing that the Indianaolis Cabinet Company had deposited ?20.4S0.7G. Under date of May 9. 1S:3. the company Is credited with a deposit of $44,000: on Jan. . 1W3. with $23,009.04: on Jan. 5. 1S95. with 2,723.10; on Sept. 17, 1S92, with $13.273.0X The forty-eighth, forty-ninth and fiftieth counts are the same as those In the Indictment against Schuyler C. Haughey, and charge the Coffins and Reed with being parties to the making of the false report to the Controller of Currency on July 12, 1S93. AGAIXST THE SOW He In Also Chnrg;ed with Aiding; and AliettltiK Ills Father. There are fifty counts in the indictment against Schuyler C. Haughey, the son of the bank president, and their general tenor Is to charge him with aiding and abetting In the looting of the bank. The first three counts set forth that Theodore P. Haughey caused to be paid from the funds of the bank sums amounting to $10,827.43 on notes and drafts which he knew to be worthless and upon Insolvent persons. The methods employed by the Haugheys In securing $200,000 between Jan. 1, 1S91, and July 23, 1S93. by allowing the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company to overdraw its account are recited in the fourth count, and are made the basis for further charges in other counts. The method was to accept notes from persons, firms, companies and Incorporations known to be Insolvent and loan more than the 10 per cent, of the capital stock as allowed by law. It is also shown that drafts were accepted upon Weil Pros., of-Chicago, for $3fi,4U0, and upon J. H. Yocum for $29,550.78. when they were known to be Insolvent and the drafts worthless. The nineteenth to twenty-sixth count3 show how the curled hair company was allowed to draw various sums from the bank, in all, amounting to $33,991.53, when It had no funds or credits in the bank. Next comes a recital of the dealings of the Haugheys through the Indianapolis Glue Company. It is alleged that, from Jan. 1. 1S91. to July 25. 193. the bank was robbed of ?250,C0O on account of the glue works. The monev was appropriated to the use of Theodore P. and Schuyler C. Haughey by cashing worthless checks and drafts, by loaning money to the glue company and making it appear that a part of it was loaned to otherr. who were also Insolvent and known to be eo bv Haughey. In this way they secured $52.5T1 on notes signed bv John F. White. J29.93S.72 on notes of Charles Geist. $28,112.41 en notes of F. Stevenson. $33.07S.S0 on notes of E. F. Cooper, T3t.7S3.79 on notes of Schuyler C. Haughey, $33,500 on notes signed by A. P. Spruanee, and $20,000 over the signature of Lewis C. Hauchey. Another item of X3.0U) Is accounted for in the twenty-seventh count where it is charged that the Indianapolis Glue Company received from the bank a certified draft on the Third National Rank of New York and gave in exchange its ehck. vihieh was known to be worthless by President Haughey. The twenty-eighth to the forty-seventh counts. inclusive. specify particular instances where Theodore 1. Haughey had made false entries In the books of the bank In oredr to make It appear that the glue company, the curled hair company and himself personally had made deposits with the bank. In this way he hnd credited the glue company with $19.7.19, the Indianapolis Curled Hair Company with $21.97".7f, and himself with $9.oi0, which, it is alleged, was never received by the bank. This is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of dollars of worthless notes nnd drafts which he received at face value, knowing that they were not worth the paper on which they T.-ere written. The forty-eighth, forty-ninth and fiftieth counts charge that Theodore P. Haughey made false statements in his report to the Controller of Currency July 12. 193. In all the counts Schuyler C. Haughey is charged with aiding and abetting the acts of Theodore I. Haughey. THE CASIIIEH INDICTED. Return Aalnt Mr. Ilexfrl Opennionn Some Surprise. There was some surprise when It became known about the federal building that Cashier Rexford had been Indicted with the Haugheys and others. The charges against him are In six counts, the tfist of which is that he signed false statements of the bank's condition. The false entries on the statements are alleged In the following particulars: ' There was due on that day to the bank from Its customers on account of overdrafts J $t.C17 more than the $2.S'2 mentioned In the statement; there was due the bank from reserve agents $72.SII 'ejg than the $152,133 given; there was due th- bank from national banks other than the reserve agents, subject to check, 513.'J less than the $1.3'J1 given; there was lue the bank from State and private banks and bankers. ; subject to check, $2o."fj less man the $29,- , 52-1 given: there was due the bank on checks i and cash items $13,597 more than the $5.C givtn; there was due the depos- ; tirs on demand certificates $3'UtO It-sn than the &Mi.?V glvn; there was outstanding ngalnst te bank in . bills pay1 able and certificates of deposit, representing ! money tcrrowed, $30,000 more than the $5,i 0e0 given; there were debts due the bank, ! on which the Interest had been past due for more than six months, debts not secured and not In process of collection, $50,-

Chicago. $3o,OJO less than the $10.5v given; there were outstanding against the bank certificates of deposit upon which money had been borrowed $20.tj0 mere than the $20,000 given; that T. p. Haughey was a guarantor on paper and obligations due the bank In the sum of $i.3o2 more than the $224 given; that Robert R. F. Peirce was a guarantor on paper and obligations due the bank in the sum of $2,500. These false entries purported to show, and did, in substance and effect, indicate and declare, that the sail Edwin E. Rexford had verified and sworn to the correctness of the statements preceding said entries, and had taken an oath that said statements were true and that the schedules on, the back of paid report contained true statements of the matters therein contained; that said false entries, so made, were fals?, as he well knew; that these falso entries were made by him with intent to injure and defraud the bank and divers other persons, and the agent or agents that might be appointed by the Controller of the Currency to examine into the affairs of the bank. The accusations and specific charges of the indictment are in six counts.
AGAIXST 31 it. PEIRCE. There AVero Only Elwlit Counts In Indictment Ag;n!iiNt Him. It was not generally believed that P. P. F. Peirce would be Indicted, since It was known that he had made a settlement. It is alleged that he aided and abetted President Haughey In allowing the National Electric Headlight Company to overdraw its account at the bank $173, both knowing that the company was Insolvent. The second count charges the misapplication of $3,407.73 In the same way, between Jan. 3 and April 27, 1S93, by permitting the said company to overdraw its account in that sum. The third count charges misapplication of $2,867.75 on June 1, 1891, In cashing a note payable to the steel pulley and machine works, and executed by the said National Electric Headlight Company, it being insolvent and known bv T. P. Haughey and Robert R. F. Peirce to be so. The fourth count charges that on Jan. 16. 1S91, T. P. Haughey caused to be placed to the credit of the National Electric Headlight Company the sum of $3,000 In exchange for a note for $3.3''d.C3 signed by the said company. It being at that time Insolvent and known to be so by T. P. Haughey and Rolert P. F. Peirce. The fifth count charges that on Feb. 13, 1891. the sum of $2,970 was place! to the credit of the National Electric Headlight Company In exchange for a note signed by the company and unsecured, the said company being at that time known to be insolvent by T. P. Haughey and Robert R. F. Pelree. The sixth count charges that on Oct. 14, 1S91. the sum of $5,194.80 of the bank's funds was misapplied by paving the same for a note of Robert R. F. Peirce in the sum of $5.280. CO, the note being unsecured and Robert R. F. Peirce being known to himself and to T. P. Haughey to be insolvent. The seventh count charges that on divers tlme3 between Jan. 1. 191. and July 24. 1893. T. P. Haughey misapplied the funds of the bank to the amount of $41,000 in loaning the same to the National Electric and Headlight Company without securitv. it being to T. P. Haughey and Robert R. F. Peirce known to be insolvent. The eighth count charges that on July 15, 1893. a false report of the bank's condition was certified to the Controller of the Currency, in which tho said Robert R. F. Peirce al led and abetted, he being one of the three directors who attested to the truthfulness of the report. All the counts charge Robert R. F. Peirce with aiding and abetting T. P. Haughey In misapplying the fund3 cf the bank and the last with aiding and abetting in certifying to the Controller of tho Currency a false statement of the bank's condition on July 15, 1S93. STORY OF THE IIAXIC. Gcnernl Surprise at the Failure nnd Snbseianewt Exposures. The reprehensible nets and palpable frauds that led to the Indictment of the men have been made public since the memorable morning of July 2a, when the news of the collapse of the bank burst upon the people of this city. Many there are who bitterly remember the date. Although the published statement of the bank officials on July 1C was not calculated to reassure persons whose doubts were doubled by the uneasy condition of money affairs, there were few who doubted the ability of the Indianapolis National to tide over. The half hundred straggling depositors that waited about the bank's doors at the hour of opening made no particular demonstration when it was announced by placard that owing to the general financial stringency, the steady withdrawal of deposits and the difficulty of converting securities into cash the bank was obliged to suspend. It was understood that since the suspension of the Capital National a drain on the funds of the Indianapolis National had begun. The president, Theodore P. Haughey, on Monday preceding the disaster, laid before the clearing house the crippled condition of the bank. He appealed for help and secured $50,(X'0 from the local banks. The amount was exhausted by Tuesday night, and nt midnight the age! official knew that the dawn must precipitate the ruin. At 7 o'clock Wednesday morning Cashier Itexford admitted to a Journal reporter that the bank must suspend. The news of the collapsa spread rapidly over the city, and carried with It both surprise and alarm. President Haughej-, later In the day, made a statement, in which he said that he was not aware of the real gravity of the financial situation until the Saturday night before. The depositors accepted the word of the president as coming from a man of unblemished character and integrity, and sympathy was expressed for him upon all sides. The growing excitement and alarm occasioned by the suspension of the Haughey bank was not lessened when it was also known that the Rank of Commerce had close! Its doors. Every bank In the city at on:e fortified itself against a heavy run, but before night the uneasiness was allajel. Even the depositors In the Indianapolis National went home with a feeling of security. Theodore P. Haughey had been at the head of the institution since ISW. and there was expressed unlimited confidence in his bank. There was a tendency to absolve him from any blame in the embarrassing condition of affairs, unless, perchance, he may have been censure! for his short-sightedness. Just previous to the failure the statement had gone abroad that, the resources of the Indianapolis National were $2,213,152.5',. This, with the alleged lelief of the bank officials that dollar for dollar would be paid the depositors, had the effect of further quieting the fears of the patrons of the insolvent concern. It was known that there was some heavy depositors. Tl International Typographical Union claimed to have $30. 0iu of their funds t'ed up in the bank. The Grand Lodge of Indiana Odd Fellows' Mutual Aid Association, it was understood, owned a snug per cent, of the deioslts. Four thousand dollars of the funds of the Iidianapo4?s postoffice were also . in the bank's custody. That the bank had enjoyed the confidence of the largest enterprises of Indianapolis for years past was evinced by the disastrous failures of several firms which were unable to secure the amount of their deposits. The arrival of Special Rank Examiner Young was welcomed by the depositors, but that official was noncommittal, except that he announced that his instructions were to pay out no cash, but to collect all maturing notes. As yet there bad been no hints of scandal in the affairs of the wrecked bank. The spotless life of the president was held up to the citizens of Iudianaiolls by his friends, and it was not even admitted that there h ad been mismanagement, much less dishonesty, in the operations of that official. The appointment of Receiver Hawkins on Aug. 4 by the Controller of the Currency proved the bank Insolvent beyond tloubt, and this was uuickly followed by the suit in the Fnitetl States Court against the InlLanaiolis glue works, of which Schuyler C. Haughey was president. The suit was brought by the Fourth National Rank, of New York, for $lo.ex, the amount of a note exectited on May 25. and indorsed by the Indianapolis National Rank. A few days later Receiver Hawkins was called to Washington, ami on his return a stupendous exposure wa3 on the eve of an eruption. Rurr.ois of rascality and surprising rottenness on the part of the bank edllcluls dally grew prevalent. These rumors were not found to be groundless, and. as subsequent, events show, were clearly veri
fied. It was alleged that the Indebtedness of the IndianapolU Cabinet Company to the defunct bank was $400,000: that Francis A. Coffin, the president, had been loaned the sum of $30,000 and that Percival B. Coffin, the secretary! bad secured a similar amount. It was further said that $30,000 had been loaned to the branch of the cabinet company at Richmond, besides large amounts of capital that had been forwarded to the London branch. It was alleged that the Interest on these notes had not been paid in cash, but that the amounts due had been paid by the transfer of other notes and In overdrafts. In addition to these alleged Irregularities, the Indianapolis glue works was said to owe the bank between $200,000 and $300,000. On Aug. 8 several mortgages were filed at the office of th? county auditor by a representative of the IndlanapH3 National, which was the first confession that there had been direct violations of th? national bank law In loaning money above the 10 per cent, limit. These documents were to secure loans by the bank, one being a chattel mortgag? of the Indianapolis glue works on its plant for $27,799.19. The document was not dated, but had been acknowledged on July 29. The authorized capital stock of the glue works was $50,000. There was also a chattel mortgage to the Indianapolis curled hair works In the sum of $40,000, which also contained no date of execution, but had be?n acknowledged on July 29. The authorized capital stock of this establishment was $lu,000. Another mortgage was filed by Theodore P. Haughey and wife for $19,750, which embraced all the real estate and included the Haughey homestead at Mapleton. This mortgage was to secure four notes, one for $5,750, executed June 17; two notes for $5,000, executed July 21 and July 24. and another for $4,000, executed on the latter date. The real truth of the demoralized condition of their funds aroused feelings of indignation in the minds of the depositors of the looted bank. There were loud clamorlngs for Justice, and In the numerous mass meetings held by the outraged depositors vigorous demands were made on the Unite! States authorities for redress. The president of the wrecked institut'on fell ill. but this fact did not subdue the mutterlngs of those who demanded that he with others be punished. On Aug. 21 the district attorney, acting upon affidavits signed by the receiver of the bank, placed in the hands of the United States marshal warrants for the arrest of Theodore P. Haughey, Schuyler C. Haughey, Francis A. Coffin, Percival R. Collin and Albert S. Reed. Marshal Hawkins and United States Commissioner Van Ruren drove quietly out to Mapleton on the afternoon of Aug. 21 and arrested the Haugheys. Deputy Marshal Taylor, in the meantime, had found Percival Coflln and Albert S. Reed at the office of the Indianapolis Cabinet Company, and had placed them under arrest. Francis Coffin was found at his home on North Alabama street. The scene that ensued between him and his young wife at the entrance of the United States official was the most touching and pitiful that has yet characterized the bank prosecutions. The prisoners were all taken to the office of. the marshal, where they produced bond in the sum of $10,000 each, except Albert S. Reed, who was admitted to ball on giving $5,000 in sureties. The preliminary hearing before Commissioner Van Ruren was set down for Aug. 2S, and on that date the prisoners were bound over to await the action of the federal grand jury. Grand Jury Returned Tbnnks. Before adjournment yesterday afternoon and in response to the remarks of Judge Raker the United States grand Jury took occasion to convey its appreciation of the treatment received while engaged In the work of the past month. Ry a rising vote the members extended thanks to the Judge and all federal officials for the many acts of courtesy and consideration. WAS A SIMILAR CASE
Indictments Returned in tlie Matter of the Vincemics Bank. Tlirco and Po3sibIy Four Bills FoundPresident Tyler's Operations and Tragic End. Among the indictments returned yesterday by the United States grand jury were three and perhaps four in the case of the Vlncennes National Rank. The names of the Indicted persons will not be given out until the marshal has served notice of arrest on the offenders. The story of the wrecking of the Vlncennes National is not unlike that of the Indianapolis National, except that it was attended by a happening most tragic. The sensational end of the president, Wilson M. Tyler, will be remembered by many readers. On the morning of July 6, 1893, Tyler was found by the sexton of the cemetery just outside of Vlncennes lying across the grave of his daughter. He held a pistol tightly clutched in his hand, and the blood streamed from a wound in his head. He was not able to speak, and died In a few moments after he had been discovered. Tyler's act was thought to have been caused by constant brooding over the death of his daughter Alice, a beautiful and talented girl, who was buried in February. 1SSS. That financial mistakes had figured In the desperate deed no one dared believe. Tyler had been president of the Vlncennes National Rank for twelve years, and like the head of the Indianapolis National, held the highest place In the csii:m of both depositors and citizens. In another particular was the Institution similar to the Haughey bank. For years it had been conducted on the one-man plan. President Tyler being the exclusive director of a force of clerks. At his death the bank was close! and a meeting of the directors called. Several days passed before it was understood that irregularities had been practiced by the president. The arrival of the bank examiner disclosed a corrupt condition of affairs that nearly equaled in rottenness the Indianapolis National. It was soon made evident that the president had been a party to deliberate frauds and schemes to delude the public. It was found that there had been extensive dabbllngs in margins, and that $135,0 U had been swallowed up in a Tennessee land deal. At the time it was reported that the president had coolly planned to deceive the bank inspector by reducing the accounts of a large number of depositors and of placing the reductions to Ids own credit. Among the assets of the bank the receiver found nearly $100,000 worth of notes on the firm of Rutler &. Kinsey, large lumber dealers of Vlncennes. When presented for payment nothing could be realized on the paper. Although the capital of $100,000 was wiped out, the depositors realized about SO per cent. The president of the Institution has been called lefore a higher tribunal. The only persons who might have . been cognizant of the bank's operations are Hiram A. Foulks, cashier. Sherry Isaacs, assistant cashier, and memben; of the firm of Rutler & Kinsey, both of whom are now said to be in Tennessee. United States Marshal Hawkins will begin locating those mentioned In the indictments at once. Meeting of Highway Ansocintion. The Indiana Highway Improvement Association will hold its annual meeting in the Hall of the House of Representatives on Jan. 4 and 5. The association is endeavoring to, and think3 It has prospects of success, induce railroad companies to make a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip.

TO CUT THE VIADUCT C, II. & D. Railroad Co. Wants a Wagon Way to a New Depot. Tho Matter to Tc Brotiglit Before the Board of Works This 3Ioriiiug Kefuiiding Scheme. The civil engineer of the C. II. & D. Railroad Comany notified the Board of Works, yesterday, that the company intended to build a new freight depot to take the place of the rambling structure under the shadow of the viaduct. Thin freight depot, which was partially burned some time ago, is a frame affair. The company wants to make certain arrangements for a wagon way leading to the new depot, and the engineer Intimated, yesterday, that the company would like to have a wagon way built out from the roadway of the viaduct. The new building will have to be built of brick, as it is within the fire limits. The board will not probably give the company permission to build a wagon way out of the viaduct for the reason that it would interfere with travel on the viaduct and would make the passage way for pedestrians dangerous. The railroad officers will appear before the board this morning. The board will go out to the City Hospital this afternoon, to Investigate the need for repairs. It has received a communication from the Board of Health and the superintendent of the hospital regarding these repairs. ANOTHER REFUNDING SCIIE31E. To Advertise for 111(1 on the ?G00,OOO Ihmiic. Councilman Rauh believes, from statements made him by representatives of banking houses that the $600,000 of bonds which were not paid last July can be floated at 4 per cent, or less. He has had a talk with the controller, and believes that the Council will decide to advertise for bids on refunding bonds early in the coming year, perhaps early enough to have bids opened by Feb. 1. His plan is to have the bonds offered in lots of $100,000, so that the competition may be more general, and so that the small bond dealers may have an opportunity to bid. The city is now paying at the rate of $3,650 a month Interest on the outstanding bonds which bear 7.3 per cent, interest. Under the contract with the New York Life Insurance Company the city can take up these bonds at any time after Jan. L by paying a commission of one-half of 1 per cent, and giving the company thirty days' notice. The New York Surety and Trust Company has sent in a bill of $527.50 for services in protecting the city against presentation of the bonds after they became due. This is in addition to the interest. The Mayor has signed the Harris contract. Putrolmnn DUt Tried. The Board of Public Safety last night heard a part of the evidence in the matter of tho charges against patrolman DUts, preferred by John Mescall. The charges filed with the board aver that on the night of Saturday, Dec. 9, the officer, without provocation, assaulted Mescall and struck him twice with the baton. Mescall s charges were only substantiated by himself and one of the witnesses called by the prosecution testified that the officer did not strike Mescall till the latter had strongly resisted arrest. A number of witnesses, members of the force and citizens, testified that Dilts was an excellent officer. No action was taken last night on account of the absence of three of the witnesses for the prosecution, but from the evidence Introduced it appeared that the preferment of the charges was purely spite work. Snrvoylnpc n Proposed Channel. The city engineer Is to survey the proposed route of a channel for straightening out Fall creek from Illinois street west. If the change is made the mouth of the big Fourteenth-street sewer will have to be changed, and this will make the entire cost of protecting the low lands south of tho creek in the neighborhood of 5100,000. The City Exact Portion. Deputy County Auditor Johnson yesterday completed the table showing the apportionment of the November settl?ment of the taxes among the city funds. The exact amount the city will receive is J232,rd2.f", the city school fund $17,172.52. library fund $11,553.15, and the Industrial school fund $77,012.56. . 'Will Kill the Ilauprhvllle Ordinance. It Is reported that the finance committee of the Council will report agaln3t the annexation of Haughville to the city. Members cf the committee are quoted as saying that there are enough Councilmea opposed to the measure to kill it. AMUSEMENTS. EiikHnIi Operji Himse "The Diamond IlrenUer." Scott Marble's play, "The Diamond Breaker," seen here for the first time nt English's last night. Is a melodrama of the ultra sensational kind. In which the excitement of the scenes and Incidents are heightened by the introduction of ome startling mechanical effects, notably a great coal breaker, a mass of machinery in operation. Into this the hero is thrown, but Is opportunely rescued by a young woman, Itexlna. Allen, who is fully able to lake care of herself and others as well. There was a top-heavy house last night, and there were cheers for the heroine and the scenes in which she figured. There is a sreat deal of excitement in "The Diamond Rreaker." and that is evidently what the people who saw It last night want. Stella Wardell plays the heroine with force and discrimination, and the opposite part Is capable cared for by M. L. A!sor. Mr. C. V. Goodrich is one of the most villainous villains seen here in many moons. "The Diamond Rreaker" will be repeated to-night and Saturday matinee and evening. Amnsenicnt Notes. Stuart Robson's successes In Shakspearean comedy have been various and notable, and It is natural that, at the summit of his fame he should aspire to s!cTjali2e the attainment of the hopes of his younger dpys by favoring the theater-going public with an expensive and historically, as well as artistically, correct revival of Shaksoeare's popular but too often neglected "Comedy of Errors," which he will present at the Grand Opera House the first part of next wool:, opening with a Christmas matinee on Monday. The advance sale of seats, which bepan yesterday, indicates large audiences. When the eccentric comedian. Ezra Kendall, appears at English's Christmas matinee and evening in his new play "The Substitute," he will be supported by Arthur and Jennie Dunn. toth clever performers, "big" John Hart, formerly of the "Two Johns," and other capable people. The new piece 13 said to be very funny. (ilvcn by the Studentn. The Indianapolis Business University gave a reception at their hall in the When Block last r.Ifjht.
