CUMMINS'S TRICKS.
THE CROOKED METHODS BY
WHICH HE OPERATED.
He Induces Jlr, Lea Fuser to Give
Him a "Character," but It Is
"Loaded"—Bis Connections with
Lichtenstein's Loans.
The following letters which Walter Cum
mins furnished tbe Horning News for pub
lication this morning sxplala their purport
and intention. They ora re-produced here
to give Cummins on opportunity to make
his reply to the facts which ware publLhed
in these columns on Tuesdoy. The letters
are as follows:
"Fir: The article published in theEvKN
mo Journal of tho 3d Instant grossly and
maliciously attacks ray character and
charges mo with malfeasance towards csr
tain loan associations, clients and tbe city
of Wilmington. If the publishers of the
journal in question have any financial re
apousibility they will be held to answer for
the publication of their malicious libels. I
can only say at this time that advantage
has been taken of some financial embarrass
ments to mate charges against mo which
are utterly and entirely false, and while
subserving no good end ore calculated only
to interfere with the settlement of my ob
ligations which 1 hope io discharge honor
ably aad fully.
"Tho insinuation that I have had ony
connection whatever with Mç M. L. Lich
tenstein or his defalcations U without any
foundation. Never was I connected or
interested with him otherwise than in being
unf ortunate enough to be a stockholder io
the loan associations which have suffered
through him.
Tho subjoined letter of Mr. Lea Posey,
president of the Perpetual Latin Associa
tion, fairly shows my connection with and
mode of transacting business with that
Association. The same is true of my reta
il n es attorney to the Clayton find Ger
mania Loon associations, and after «the
InvestigolloDB now in progress in those
associations aro completed, my relations to
them will be found to be entirely free ficm
any cause of censure. None of these asso
ciations have ever lost, and they will not
loss a dollar in any way by any fault or
neglect of mine as attorney or otherwise.
With respect to the alleged statement of
liens on record against mo. some mortgages
are paid and not satisfied and others repre
sent sums largely in excess of the amounts
actually due.
So far as tha city is concerned all mv
obligations, both legal and moral, to It
have hern and will be honorably fulfilled.
1 do not propose to enter into controversy
respecting my business with irresponsible
newspaper reporters seeking a sensation,
but deem it proper to ask my friends and
tho public generally to (lx no credit to such
statements, and to suspend any adverse
criticism which might be suggested by such
bold and malicious slanders.
Walter Cummins.
Wilmington, July 4,1888,
Judge W. Cummings.
Dear Sir: Your letter of this date re
ceived. In answer to the questions you
ask I would say: The Perpetual Savings
and Loan Association did not intrust any
sums of money large or small to you, and
it was not yonr business as attorney to han
dle any of tbe money of tho association
You did not satisfy any mortgages held by
tbe association and It was net your duty
to da so.
It was end is the duty of the treasurer of
the association to pay ont money by check
only; tbe check to be signed by tbe presi
dent or vice president, in addition to tbe
treasurer, and on the order of the board of
directors for all loans in accordance with
tho search of title and liens made by tbe
attorney as directed by tbe board.
The association has never lost any money
by reason of errors in yonr searches while
attorney for it.
You had nothing to do with the recom
mending of loans to the association except
as a director upon a favorable report of tbe
Investigating committee, and you were not
a member of that committee.
I believe the association have sufficient
securities for all loans made you hy them,
and that they have never lost any money
from any fault or neglect of yours.
Tbe mortgages given oar association by
you on property at southwest corner of
Eleventh and Adams streets for $1,009 and
tbe one on No. 1421 Harrison street for
»2,000, are both paid off, bat owiug to the
neglect of our former secretary end treas
urer satisfaction has not been entered.
I have no knowledge or reason to believe
that you bad any connection of intereet
with M. L. Lichtenstein, late secretary and
treasurer of oar association, in his defalca
tion.
Lea Puset,
President Perpetual Savings and Loan As.
■delation.
Respectfully,
Mr. Lea Pusei's Explanation.
The effort which Walter Cnmmins has
made, os shown by the preceding letters,
to lake refuge behind tbe stainless integ
rity of Lea Pusey was a perilous move
ment. Mr. Putey's letter iu the light of
his explanations as made to a reporter of
the Evening Journal this morning be
comes merely an additional laah for
the castigation of the culprit.
Mr. Pusey who was seen at
hie office, at 14th and Lombard Sts.,
talked freely upon the unfortunate and dis
reputable matter. In answer to the query,
how the letter from him to Judge Cum
mins published above was obtained be said
ia substance :
"Judge Cummins come to me and after
some solicitation I voluntarily mads the
statement ss published. Tbe judge would
stat - a question to me and then I would
pat down the answer as it is pabli.-hed
Tha query ia each case was in effect just
what he desired roe to answer and no more.
When he was through I felt confident that
a representative of the Journal would
cxll on me, and, If such rnproenta
live did call, I knew th .t there
could be but one result aud that was that
would have to muke explanation* which
were bound to make matters worse for the
at
of
judge."
The reporter then asked Mr. Pusey as
methods pursued in making a loon, and
replied practically as follows;
"The usual course was for the intended
application.
bis
borrower to make
the examining committee would examine
the property and then the counsel of the
association, who was Cummins in our case,
W.
would examine the title ns to liens. We
always had sufficient oonfldenoe In him to
accept hie report of the condition of any
property without further examination.
"It is tuee that the 11,000 and »3,000
loans spoken of in my letter, are paid off.
The llret was paid sometime ago. The sec
ond,we were told by Judge Cummins,was a
first Hen upon the property at 1431 Harri
son street. When it was discovered that
it was a second l(en we gave Judge Cum
mins to understand that unless the matter
was corrected and settled la a few days
steps weald be taken (u secure its settle
ment"
Another officer of the Perpetual Loan
Association told the Journal reporter
yesterday that the manner in which they
saved themselves on the house at 838 Mar
ket street was that some members ..of the
Loan Association bad employed an attor
ney to watch Cummins and see that be put
the loan's mortgage on record first.
Mr. Pusey said that he did not known
anything about that, but thought that
some one might have done so.
Levi K. Miller, Cummins's principal vic
tim, called upon Mr, Pusey yesterday. The
latter picked up yesterday. Journal, and
read to Miller the story of Cummins's spec
ulations, when the old man confirmed
every word so far as he related to bis In
terests.
Cummins in the above letter disclaims
all connection with U. L. Lichtenstein's
affairs and says that the loan associations
never have lost a dollar by any fault of
omission or commission of his. The facts
and records of the Court House give a fiat
contradiction to these statements. Ou the
38th day of June, 1881, M L. Lich
tenstein purchased of the Delaware
Fire Insurance Company the building
at 117 Market Ht. tor »10,003. On the same
day ho made two mortgages to the insur
ance company, one tor »10,000 and another
for »3,500. The first mortgage was placed
on record July 20, 1884, and the other on
Juno 30, 1881. On the day of purchase,
June 28, Lichtenstein obtained »7,500 oo
this properly from the Germania Loan,
but this mortgage was not placed on record
until August 13, 1881 There throe mort
gages, all dated June 38, 1881, were re
corded, as it will be seen, ao at to raske
the (3.500 a first mortgage, the »10,000 a
second and the »7.500 a third mortgage.
But this was not the explanation of their
order as received by the Loan Association.
L'chensteln assured the Germania people
that It was a first Hen.
A director of the Oarmanla Association
Informed the reporter of the Journal this
morning that Cummins himself, as couunel
for that association, had assured him per
sonally that their mortgage was the first
lien. Cummins had examined the prop
erty, for liens, and on August 12 bad
placed it on record. If this was not ne
glect, the director said to the reporter this
morning, "It was but one thing else and
that one thing is fraud."
The case of Lichtenstein's hnoco on Dela
ware Ave. Is still worse. This property
was purchased March 25, 1867, of James
Brown for »5,000. A mortgage was placed
with the American Fire insurance Com
pany on the bouse April 30, 188«.for »6,000,
and subsrq*ntly a loan for »4.000 was made
oo the house by the Clayton Loan Associa
tion. But previous to February 3, 1887,
Licbenstein ashed the Germania Loan for
»2000 to pay off the Clayton mortgage.
Cummins vouched for the safeness of the
loan asked and drew up the papers: bat
Instead of drawing up the pacers for »2,000
be drew them up for »5,000. This sum
was drawu from the treasury of the
association and it is so recorded at the
Court House. "Was this carelessness or
fraud f" demanded tbs director of^the Ger
mania of tha reporter.
Cummins has not yet seen fit to resign
his office ss judge of the Municipal Court,
trusting obviously to political influence to
seva him from impeachment next winter
by the Legislature
He sat in the court yesterday morning
without giving the slightest sign of per
tnrbation. A great many persons were
present evidently out of curiosity to see If
be would have the "cheek" to.preside
over the court and decide upon
the frailties of his weak fellows.
This mornieg he sat with the same imper
turbability, his face never changing except
to asmme occasionally a look of righteous
indignation as some poor wretch tried to
lie ont of his scrape. When he sentenced
Harvey Hosenbaechan, a petty thief,
to »200 bail for stealing »2 50,
his face wore a perfectly stolid ex
pression The poor darkey will be unable
to find bail and will go to jail. Cummins
will continue to preside oyer the court.
Tbe Journal's exposé is In everybody's
mouth and on every hand tha paper re
ceives commendation for performing a sim
ple dnty. Among the members of the bar this
morning there was a general opinion that
there was but one course open to Cummins
and that was for him to resign and leave
the city. His alleged denial was looked
anon ns very weak by the public generally.
Great surprise was expressed that bn bad

rushing business.
