HlU'a defaleaUona had eztended ovcr a perlod
of aeveral y. ar.-.. Ue wai e<. idi-ntly lient on fol
I in the footstope ol hli brother, Cbarlei BL
Hill, eaahier of the Natkn_al Bank of New lersey,
I who becamc a defaulter aud oommittetl
suiclde a few yeara ago. It ls not even
hinted, however, that John T. Hill killed lilm
sclf. He drew the linc at that. He had l?ceu
connected with the Ninth National Bank stnee its
organlzatlon tn 1R64, hls first oflioe being that of
pnying teller durir.g the presitlency of J. I*. Orald.
His promotion was steady, if not rapid. OrvW
wns succeeded in the presideney by Thomns L.
Vyse, who after a brlcf reipu was succeeded by
HflL
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME.
The bank has had only four presidente. Ita
capital at the gtart waa $1,.".00,000, but in thc
administrotion of Vyse Ihere was a large defnlca
tlon, strikingly ainiilar to the present one. whieh
60 crippl.'d lt. that it was obllged to reduce ita
capital onc-half, or to |7ft0,00d. Mr. Vyse still
Hvea, and might throw a fjood deal of light on
thls first trouble. A? Mr. Hepburn says in his
statonient, the bank has been unfortnnate.
Hill was a man of striking annear
ance, and probably learned the defalcation
business from hls predecessor in that line dnring
thc Vyse adniinistration. Hc had a strong face,
set oll with nuincroiis charaeter marks. In bll
chin, whieh was flrm and alniost massive, there
was a deep dimple. l',eside his well-curved and
rather p:otninent nose .were de>p creases. His
halr, flark-hrown aml oxcoediijrl.v HnB, was neitlv
brushe.l back from a bold forehead. His eves
were intensc and .leep. Tliey were large and set
under overhan-inz brows. There was a look of
eoneentrate-l cnerjjy in tliem, a sort of do-and
flnre look. His mustache partly covered his
niouth, and on each jaw there was a thin bunoh
of whlsker:i. He always looked as if his teeth
were olinebed tight. His dieme was in New
Bruuawlek, N. .1.
Tlie ollioers and directors of tlie bank. as^well
ns tho meml>ers of the Clearing House eoniunttcr.
were diMnclined to talk after their hard work
of the evening.
A TALK WITH THF. CASIIIEK.
Hiram II. Nazro, cashier of the bank, looked
tired aml worried after the directors and exam
iners had left the bank. As to genuine iiiforma.
tiou eoncerning the afTairs of the bank, be WM
little more comtnunicative than the traditioi:al
Sphlnx. He stopped long enough whlle pkdag
the books in the vaults, however, to say that tho
statement presented to tho publio was complete
and could not lv prolonsed.
" It contnins all that can be told" he continucu.
"I ean add nothing to Its contents. ln faet
" I have nothing to pay."
"Hut, Mr. Nazro," asked The Tribune reporter,
"will you not give fhe names of thc meu to whom
Mr. Hill lent money'."'
" No," came fhe nnswer, " I eannot do that."
"Will you tell how the dlscovery of Mr. Hili's
trnnsarttons was first made?" continued the re?
porter.
"The statement," was the reply, "explains that
fall.-."
He consented later to add that Mr. Hill was
at the l?uk until two dajra before bla death, aad
tliat ha had been executor of "numberi ol peo?
ple." Who they were or what were tlie amouni .
of their estate?, ho declined to say. He reiterate.l
situplv that the statement was complete and eon
taincd all the information whieh was to be made
publlc.
REFERnED TO THE STATEMENT.
Albert C. Hall, one of the directors.
was even Icbb disposed to talk upon thc
Bffalra of the bank, and was even more eoa
fldent as to the merits of the " ^tetemeut." Iu
angwer to the inquiries of the ncw*p:.]M>r men, he
replied hurriedly and laoonicaUy that he could
add "nothing to the ofiicial announcoment," an.l
ha*tened from the room.
llaskell A. Searle. another direetor, was not so
liernieti.allv Bealed. Hut Mr. Searle professcd
not to know so mueh regarding the afluir as the
i.ther oiheers of the bank.

John H. V. ArnoM, counsel for the bank, was
mirruunded by reporters as soon as beemerged ttom
the meetlng. Rat he was hardly moie eommuni.
cative than the directors and oflieers. St 11, ln o
general way, he dlscuased the sitdattoa, aad eon
tributed a few faets to the story of HiU's breacb
0f trtMt. Several we*ks ago, Mr. Arnold said, an
examination was made into tl.e affaln of the baak,
and it wa* disovered that Hill had made away with
about 8400,000 of its fund?. A tborough investl
... and about oll the facta n 11.11 s

" Ves. perfeetly," he replied. "Il will ao on
