EMBEZZLEDJWOO
Cashier of Allegheny National
Bank Arrested.
HELD UNDER $50,000 BAIL
Alleged Defalcation Discovered By
Bank Examiner, Who Said Cashier'#
Checks Were Used to Hide the
Shortage. j|
Pittsburg, May B.—William Mon*
gomery. cashier of the Allegheny Nm
tional bank for over twenty years, wat
arrested on a charge of embezzlinß
$429,000 of the bank’s funds. He was
arraigned before United States Com
missioner W. T. Lindsay and hold for
the federal grand jury under a bond of
$50,000, which was furnished by
George E. Tener, a financier and busi
ness man.
The financial standing of the bank
is in no wise affected by the defalca
tion, as it is in a position to bear the
loss without embarrassment. The bank
has a capital stock of $500,000: sur
plus, $700,000; undivided profits. $129,
461; bank building, cash on hand, etc.,
$666,972; due from other banks, $lO6.
744; deposits, $2,444,863.
The alleged defalcation was discov
ered and the complaint filed by Na
tional Bank Examiner William L.
Folds, who, having had his suspicions
aroused, in company with several
other experts, entered the bank before
banking hours and took possession of
the books, papers and cash.
Soon after the close of banking
hours the warrant was issued and the
arrest followed.
According to Examiner Folds, the
peculations have been going on for
several years and were covered up on
the occasion of each visit of the ex
aminers by means of a cashier’s check.
The bank maintained a cashier’s fund,
often amounting to as much as $700.-
000, it is said, and upon the appear
ance of the examiner, it is alleged, the
cashier would send a messenger to
some other bank with his check for an
amount necessary to cover the short
age. After the completion of the ex
amination the check would be re
deemed.
The Allegheny National is one of the
older and generally regarded as one of
the stronger institutions of the city. It
has been more or less associated with
the politics of Western Pennsylvania,
and its directors' room was the scene
of many important political confer
ences, particularly during the life o'
the late Senator Quay, who frequently
met his friends and lieutenants in this
room. Mr. Montgomery has always
been prominent in politics, and was a
particularly close friend of the late
Senator Quay.
Examiner Folds expressed the be
lief, after making the charges, that
Mr. Montgomery had used the funds
of the bank to assist friends who were
in tight places financially, through
poor investments or other causes.
Those who know the cashier best feel
positive that he did not personally
profit by his peculations.

Victim and Missing Man Returns.
Phoenixville, Pa., May 8. The
double mystery that has been agitat
ing Kimberton, a town six miles from

people is the question: Where was
Henry Snyder during the past tour
days? Snyder says he won’t tell and
his friends feel aggrieved.

in a dam in French creek has not been
identified, but an autopsy performed
has established the fact that thf mat
died of heart disease and rolled down
the steep embankment that leads from
the railroad to the water. The strych
nine tablets found in the pockets ot
the coat were probably used by him
as medicine when his heart action was
weak.

been arrested by Sheriu S-outzer and
is being held in jail as an imp u-.ant
witness.
She was a friend of Ray Lamphere
Miss Conglin is not accused of com
plicity. but her testimony is c nsider
ed of so great importance that she - will
remain locked up until the grand jury
hears her next week.
It is said that Lamphere, while talk
ing to Miss Conklin, made threat
against Mrs. Gunness and said that he
had information, which, if disclosed,
would hang Mrs. Gunness.
“He told me that Mrs. Gunness h:ul
to be good to him or lie would make
it hot for her and send her to the gal
lows.” said Miss Conklin to Sheriff
Smutzer. She further said that she
was ready to disclose all that Lamp
here told her, adding that "he was in
love with Mrs. Gunness and was crazy
with jealousy.”
But the mystery is still in its early
chapters. The estimates of the mini
her of persons murdered at the place
through the lure of a matrimonial
bureau run all the way from twe v>
to twenty.
The following is the advertisemen'
that lured the victims to Mrs. Gunness’
farm;
"PERSONAL —Comely widow, who
owns large farm in one of the finest
districts in La Porte county. Indiana,
desires to make the acquaintance of
gentleman equally well provided, with
views of ioining fortunes. No replies
