was senten? ed to State Prison for one year on a
charge of selling policy. A number of men have
Interested themselves In the case, the Rev. John
I.. Bcudder among them, they being moved to
?ympathy on account of Wayne's youth and the
fact thai he had only been engaged in the bus?
ness three divs when arrested.
V. -t..r,lay morning Wayne went to the court
house, accompanied hy Major John H. Peloubet,
a former member of th- Assembly, and his

him. A nu.ment later Judge Hoffman came back
and called Constable Wise, who ais? went into
chambers, and brought Wsyne out, placing him
in the prisoners' dock, with th?. Injunction that
he should "stay ther?'!"

BACS WHAT WAS ROUV,
Confidence In the National Shoe and Leather
Rank has not been Impaired by the loss ot
I $LT,4,000, and the affairs of the bank appeared to
j he Koine; on as smoothly yesterday as If there
j had been no robbery. The bank is expected to
earn money enough to make up the loss In time,
| ev.n if the low cannot aid the bank official? to
regain a Rood part ot the stoe-n money. J,;hii M.
Crane, the president of the hank, said yesterday
that he hoped .1 good part of the money would
be recovered, although he contradicted a report
that If had declared that at ?eist $2'j),000 could
he got from the ?-state of Frederick Haker. In
order that there might be no mistake a.? to the
Identity of the man who had robbed the bank
with the assistance of ?vmiuel <". Seely, the
hank's bookkeeper, Mr. Crans yesterday had
three of the men connected with the hank go to
Identify the body of B'ker. They were George
!.. Pesse, th- vi W-presl ?.-at of the bank; Clarence
I.ampman, the receiving teller, and O. L.
Pegram, a clerk. They all had Been Haker at the
bank, and they knew him w>-il.
"At leant a part of the money sto'.en from the
bank Is In tangible shape and can be seized,"
said Mr. Crane. "It Is not as if the money had
h.. n squandered or lost by the thief. The prop?
erty which Haker had, or Which he had caused to
be transferred to members of his fami'y. ran fc4)
taken possession of by the courts and sold to
make up the Impairment of the carita] of the
bank. Mr. Bishop the counsel of the bank, Is
now having the necessary searches made for the
purpose of the actions whl^h will be br tight In
the courts. Until the work is finished it will be
impossible to tell what sum Is likely to be re?
covered. It is thought that the Insurance poli?
cies in favor of Haker's wife cannot be attached
by the bank."
si;klys help WOULD be i-sefvl.
James L. Bishop, the bank's counsel, sill that
he could not speak at present of the proceedings
which would be taken looking to the recovery
of the stolen money, and he was not in a position
to guess how much property might be attached.
It was evident from the guarded statements of
the lawyer that the death of Kre.lerkk Hiker
! and the careful destruction by him of all doeu
1 ments, checks and memoranda, which showed h'.S
connection with Beely and the bank, had greatly
Increased the legal difficulties in the way of rec?
overing property. It was arpar-tit thu Seely
could be of great service to the baulk wh->h he
nad helped to roil if he only would return and
make a full statement of the transactions ly
which Baker had drawn sich an enormous sum
from the bank. \Vhr-n asked If Seely might re?
turn and aid the bank to reK.i;n s une < f the
stolen money, Mr. Hishop replied: "I hope he
may, but I have n > kn iwledg- that he will."
"If Beely gave assistance in r.-. ivering the
money stolen by Hak-r. Bould Beely be protected
from severe punishment?"
"That is something we .-"?u'.d hsve nothing to
do with. It would rest with the prosecuting o;n
cer and with the court."
"Has there been any arrangement with Seely*s
counsel by which Beely may return and give all
possible aid to the hank in the hipe of naving
his own punishment mitigated?"
"Not that I am aware of."
"is it known where Beely v.--tu?"
"We do not know. We hope that he may be
found, but we have no knowledge wh"re be is."
"Has th.- family "i Baker prondsed to Bid the
bank to reooTST th.- Stolen money if It is proved
thai Baker was the thief?"
"I have been allow d by Frederick R. Haker to.
make an examination of the papers left by Haker,
and I have begun the examination in company
with Mr. Ogden. the couns-l for, the family. I
aras at Baker's office this morning for that pur?
pose. Mr. Ogden, I understand, has prepared a
statement on that subject."
8TATF.MKXT BY MR. OODBX.
Herbert S. Ogden, the lawyer, at No. 31 Pine-st,
who was retained on Monday as counsel for th?
Hak.r family, made the following statement In
the afternoon:
Frederick K. Hiker came to me yesterday and
employed me a. his counsel. He asked me what
he ought to do under the present circumstances,
and I told him that, in my opinion, the honest
thin? was to assist the Shoe and Leather Hank
in every way possible. Then It was airreed upon
between the officers of tbe hank, the otlicers of the
Park Safe Deposit Companj and myself that we
meet and open the safe deposit box yesterday, as
ha? been described In the penen.
Mr. Maker voluntarily afforded all assistance In
his power for the examination of his father's
books, papers and effects. We found nothing In
the vault that threw the remotest li.rht on any of
his father's transactions with the bank. Yester?
day evening Mr. Baker, Mr Hishop. counsel for the
bank, and 1115 self met uptown by agreement to see
if any light could be thrown on the matter. We
made an appointment to meet here to-?iay to ?*o
thr.i'i-rh his father's checkbooks and papers. Mr.
I Bishop, Frederick R- Baker and myself worked all
morning, and up to this Mine we have not found a
! snap of paper that in any way. shap, or manner
i shows utiv connection between the bank in <ju. s
, tlon and Frederick Haker, who. It is alleged, drew
I sums of money from that lank. We have not aa
yet made an exhaustive examination. There was
1 also not S scrap of paper to show that the de
; ceased had any connection with Samuel C. Seely.
When Mr. Ogden was asked about the probable
value of the Haker estate, he said that he
thought it would be found to be much less than
had been BUPPOSSd. Th ? estate cotirdsted of vari?
ous pieces Of real .state, he said, and SB the prop?
el"..?, was m irtgkgSd heavily, the equity might
not exceed $?.o,ij00 He Bald he WOUld advise the
family to give up to '.he bank whatever interest
they had in the property if it were shown that
Baker had robbed the bank.
It was announced yesterday that Haker had
beta B bankrupt since 1885. and It was for that
reason that for nine years he had b night prop?
erty In the name of Robert H. M.rritt. who was
associated with him In the real estate business.
Hak.-r is supposed to have used the money stolen
from the bank to buy the property, and Merrltt
was the dummy through whom the property was
transferred to various members of the Haker
family. The fact that Haker was a bankrupt at
the time may have some lnlluenee upon the legal
light for the recovery of the property by the
bank. The following officUl notice, which was
serv.il upon Baker's creditors at the time he be?
came a bankrupt, shows that thirty-nine per?
sons were interested in sums amounting to over
$137.000: .
You are hereby notified that a warrant In bank?
ruptcy ha.? been Issued out of the District I'ourt of
the I'nlted States for the Kastern l?ls;rict of New
