Tile Insolvency of the Third Avenue Savings Bank Known
for Years Before It Was Closed.
OlIOKIXG OFF EVIDENCE.
Tbs Senate Committee resumed tiioir investigation
of the charges against Bank Superintendent Kltis En
rolerence to the Third Avenue Savings Bank yester
day morning at tlio St. Nicholas Hotel. Much impor
tant evidence ofl'orod by the prosecution was rejected
uudcr tlio rulings ot the committee. Kuough was, how
ever, brought forward to hIiow the real rottenness ol the
hank, uud that Hank Superintendent Ellis was ewuro
ot ItscoudltioD. Tbo only excuse that Mr. Kills scorned
to have lor his negltgonce was that by immediately
closing up the bank ho would have Injured other
similar institutions, and would have increased tlio
panicky fecllug.
N. A. Stewart, witness for the defence, was allowed
by courtesy to ho culled heloru all tlio witnesses lor tho
prosecution had been heard, us ho would bo unublc to
be proseut at the investigation Tor any length or
lima. His testimony was therefore Urst heard. Ho
hud been President of tho United states Trust Company
for twelve years; bud been uajuuuitud with Mr. Kills
lrom tlie time or tho latter's appointment totheelllco
of Bank Superintendent. Shortly alter the failure
of Duncan, Sherman K Co., Kllis called upon witness
Slid consulted linn with regard to tlio advisability ol
closing up tho Third Avenue Savings Bank and ap
pointing a recolvor to tuko charge ol Its ttfl'alrs; wit
ness udvised blm to proceed ouutlously ; Kills thought
that the sudden closing of the bauk would badly ullact
other institutions and Huston u panic; Ellis told wit
ness that the bank was insolvent; the uonvorsution
was only general; Mr. Stowurt was m doubt uot about
tho closing up of tho bank, but whotber that lime was
a suitable one lor so doing witnout creating a dlsus.
trous eltcct on tbo public at large; the report ol
1S75 showed tho bunk to be in a worse condition than
the previous your; tho eirect of closing up tlio bank
would buvo boon dangerous us liable to cause n run
upou oilier savings bunks and thereby injuring the in
terests ol depositors. At this polut ot the examina
tion Mr. Chupman was summoned t? the Court IIouso
by suhpoina and tbo exumluation bad to be suspended
for nearly an hour.
WITNKSSKS I Oil THE PIlUSKl LTIO.N.
After tins onloruod recurs, Mr. Ulmstcud resumed
the calling ol whdcssos tor the prosecution.
.Mr. A. Sellers, who tcatillcd ou Monday, was re
called. llo produced the hooks of the bank, l'roiu
tbo entries ol tho loikgcr u appeared that ,j 100,000 had
been added to tho cost of tho bank property arbitrarily,
in o dor to cover up a deficiency. ihiH llctltlotis sum
wus counted as au asset. Mr. lie id, tho bank exami
ner had nut exuiuiuod these entries. Mr. Chapman
ol>jocted to tl>o reception ol tbo testimony, as it did
hot concern Mr. Kills. .Mr. Held, ho said, was not on
trial. In March, 1ST."!, tit)),1186 05 whs entered on tho
books as tho value ol tbo bunk property, 'ibis was
$100,000 more than it bud cost, and real estato bad de
preciated since tbo property was bought. Mr. Chap

.Mr. oituHii'ud?llero is an entry llmpjho bank exam

It was bis duly to tularin bimscll as to the actual cost
ol tbo real estate ol tbo bank. Ho wus bound to l ike
the necessary steps to ascertain tlio oi.ttiul valuo ol
tbo assets ol the bank. It was a case wncru ten min

.Mr. Chapman olijootcd, us lb it would carry tlicui
buck to a time bolero Mr. Kills wus appointed superin

Mr. Omirtead contended that the entry having been
tuauo subsequent to ino examination by Mr. Hold and
loriuiug part ol his repurt to Mr. Kills, no bud u light
to show wImt that entry was bv suowtug the parts ol

liru dividends were made out ol Iruudutulil entries
made Iroin Daceinbi'r .11, 1 , up to and including

llieso UiVideniis were made wholly out of fraudulent
entries, ol Which 1 can give the amounts and dales;
included as uii as n l lu IS76 ivus the trusties' bond lor
fila.uuo, which never was an asset.
Mr. Coleman?We don't want you to go into that; It
is not ihuiorlsl. It is admitted iu the report as au
asset.
