N. Y/ Jury Expected
to Indict Bank
Officials.
New York, ' Nov. 19.—Affidavits,
made by three former olllcere and di
rector* of the Borough Bank of Brook
lyn, In which admleaion* are made that
the bank'a funds were irregularly with
drawn by them for "personal use, will
be presented to the Klnga county grand
Jury today. The three men point, how.
ever, that the- have made complete
restitution by transferring property—
real estate and other securities—of a
present market value approximately
11.000,000, to meet an Irregular ladebt-
ednees of about $460,000.
In their sworn statements the men
sdmlt employing dummies and present
ing st least one note on which a name
waa forged. Some of the money Went
into Wall street; some was Invested
In reel estate.
It Is thought that six and possibly
seven Indictments will be found by the
Jury. Three of the Indictments will
have to do with officers of the Jenkins
Trust Company, It Is said.
The officers of the Borough Bank,
for whom the Indictments will he Is
sued, are said to be; Howard Maxwell,
ex-president of tha bank; Arthur D.
Campbell, ex-cashler; William D. Gow,
who owned a majority of stock and was
however, but made some very griev
ous errors. I did not refer to any dead
man as a kicker. I merely- mentioned
the names of two former pastors of
this church who are now In heaven,
and who had been forced out of this
church by the inembere. of the official
board who are now trying to force
me out.” *
Condemned Gambling.
Rev, John E. Barnard,Is known and
often characterised os the “Broughton
of cartereville." One of hi* chief char
acteristics Is a proclivity to take t
hand In local affairs that do not meet
with his approval and to handle them
without glovee. Many tlmei has he
brought down about his ears the anger
and resentment of u large number of
the people of this, city, within and
without his church. l>y his fearless at
tacks upon things that were thought
by hint to be evil.
I It was one of these merciless attacks
some time ago upon aome of the cltl-
tens or Cartersville who fiad become
Involved In a little affair In which the
grand Jury and circuit court took
hand that started the rumblings of
discontent that have been so persist
ently heard for many months coming
from the Fli.t Baptist Church. . A
number of Dr. Barnard’s members and
church officials. It la said, thought their
pastor had been too hard upon some
of Cartersville'* clttxen* who had been
convicted and lined In the courts for
gambling. One of his church officer*
stated to The Georgian representative
that Mr. Barnard had been told that
he ought to say no more concerning
the affair, In view of the fact that
those who had been caught gambling
had been punished by the courts, and
that his continued attacks upon them
amounted to nothing less than perse
cution. Dr. Barnard continued to
preach scathing sermons, condemning
the crime of gambling and those who
participated In It, and It was soon seen
that his course was bringing about
dissension among the members.
Had Cautioned Pastor. *'
On more than one occasion," said
s prominent official of the board of
deacons of the First Baptist church.
Brother Barnard had been relentless
and almoat merciless In his attacks
upon different people and things, and
we have had to caution him a number

aide or the affair should ho hoard also.
Many Membera Displeased.

By hla Intemperate serinona and downright
persecutions of people who bad done wrong

a hard matter for the Ixmrd of Uearous to

resign. Aa n matter of fact thla motion

... L. Cason, Levi 8haw and-Walker
Alley, five of the deacon* of the church,
called upon Brother .Barnard In hla study
S t the church. We luformed him that we
ad como to talk over church matters with
him. We told him then that he had done a
great work In this city; had done much for
our chuycb, and that we loved him. We
told him that we had come to him to tell
him ua our friend and brother jntt what
the state of affairs waa. We then apoke of
the dissatisfaction; of the number of mem
bers who had stopped coming to the church,
giving aa an excuse for their abaence flint
they did not approve of the pastor. We
explained to him that a number of members
bad refused to pay their assessments, say
ing that they would never pay anything
more Into the church aa long aa It bad the
[ tresent pastor. We told him that we lie-
leved It our dnty to come to him In . the
aplrlt of hrotborlr lore and friendship and
apprise him of the state of Affairs frankly
and openly. We said to him that we be
lieved bis usefulness here had been spent,
and one member of the board, a prominent
farmer, characteristically Mbl, ’You have
layed by your crop here and It ain’t no nae
to plow any more.’ Finally after atgnlng
for more than au hour, we were forced to
tell him that In our opinions the church
would no longer prosper under his ministry.
Went to the Deacons,
“Of course Brother Barnard did not agree
to this proposition. lie thought we were
mistaken. Then we said that at least twen
ty of the\ most prominent inembere of the
church agreed with ue. and that' It was
npou the solicitation of these members that
we had agreed to come to him, and that we
had adopted this course to save him the
embarrassment of a public demand for bis
resignation. He told u« then to get the
other four deacons who wrte not then pres-
ent, and that If they agreed with us he
would’ thep consider. He cautioned us to
pray In the meantime, say nought to any
one, and that If the others of the official

said, *Aa sure as there Is n God. ami n»
sure as 1 am sitting here, he said exaetly
what I said he did.’ One deacon tried to
shut the whole matter up right there, (jut
another said he believed It ongbt to lie
brought out. Heveral voices were raised at
once In protest agnlnst the fact that th#-
was to the threatened fight. Brother J'fr-

“Taking his fire-word speech as nn ulti

quit coming to church, and Tots of them
have refused to pay anything more to

Asked concerning Dr. Barnard's
speech In Atlanta, this official laid;
' I waa very much surprised to see
what Brother Barnard had said In the
afternoon papers. He not only broke
faith with us. aa he had promised to
keep the matter of our differences to
himself strictly, but he bad misrepre

“We dtd not call upop him at his
home at an unseasonable hour, but we

that occasion, either, >• he would have

was that one of th* deacons became
