BOYS AS INDORSERS.
Bankers Accept Paper Tliat Was
Not Worth aCenton the Hollar.
Si. John, N. B-, April 6.—ln connec
tion with the recent failure of the Mari
time Bank it has been discovered that the
bills of exchange which passed between
tbe Stewart firm, Guy, Bevan & Cos., and
the bank were indorsed by boy* in the
employ of the three concerns. The last
English mail brought notices to several
of these boys that bills bearing their
names had been dishonored, and
asking them to provide for them.
About a dozen boys were used
for this purpose, and tbe operations have
been going on for sums time, the bankers
who accepted the bills thinking tbe in
dorsers were responsible parties. One
lad has stated that when these linns and
the Alarine Bank began handling bills of
exchange together no indorser was re
quired save the person in whose name
the bill was drawn, but as time
passed on and the paper became
known in New York and Canadian mar
kets, and some of tbe bankers demanded
iliatin luture the bills should bear more
than one name, then the boys were
called into requisition. Tbe lads say
they were never shown the faces of the
bills, and until they received notice did
not know the amounts that were con
tained iu them. Some oi them have in
dorsed to the extent of £4,000. Further
developments are looked tor.

istic ticket was elected that tnev would

in regard to the report. ‘Well,’ said he.
‘you cau form your owl. opiuion from this
letter.’
“The letter was from the vice president
of an Insurance company to whom Air.
Farwell had written. It stated that the
risk had been ofleied to another company
whose president declined it, giving as u
reason for his action, Rear that the
Anarchist* may some day burn up your
city.’
“‘There,’said Mr.Farwell, after the re
porter had lead the letter, ‘is the fact
and it speaks for itself. The gentleman
who has charge of toe insurance may be
