Savannah Bank
now JONES GOT TO NR'V YORK. .
1
AND HOW IIK GOT THAT $32,500.
From the Savannah Adverti.-er.]
When Jones left his estimable wife and
her lady friend in Charleston as a blind to
ullay any suspicion as to the extent of the
journey he was about to make, as well as
to conceal his true motives and to gain
time should his operations by chance be
discovered in Savannah a day or two after
his departure from this city,
IIE HASTENED NORTHWARD,
and reached Washington, D. C , on Sun
day evening, and on the following morn
ing (Monday, the 24th ultimo) crossed the
Jersey City terry at the foot of Couttlaud
street in New York, hired a carriage, aud
in about thirty minutes himself aud valise
were deposited on the northeast corner of
Eighth street and Fifth avenue, the site of
the well appointed and managed hotel
known as the Brevoort House.
When Jones entered this hotel, he went
to the ofiiee, registered his name A. G.
Jones, Savannah, Ga., aud was assigned a
room in which himself aud valise were
soon locked up. Here the ex-bookeeper
made a hasty toilet and then got shaved,
after which he hastened to lake breakfast
at a residence on Sixteenth street.
HE EXPLAINED AT TABLE
that he had come from Savannah on
special business for the Southern Bank of
the State of Georgia in Savannah, and as
he was known as an employe of the bauk,
no inquiries were made as to the nature of
his special business, nor is it known that
he stated it, the conversation being imnie
diately directed to general topics, Jones
all the time conducting himself with more
thau hisaccustomed ease of manner.
The repast being over in about three
quarters of an hour, the visitor quietely
bowed himself out aud went down town.
From tbc New York We l id. [
Further particulars were .yesterday dis
covered concerning the frauds upon the
Southern Slate Bank of Georgia, at Savan
nah. Some year or more ago, at the
instance of Mr. Eugene Kelly, of thirty
four Pine street, President of the bank
aforesaid, aud also doing business as a
banker in this city, Allen G. Jones was
made a clerk in the Southern Bank, lie
was a young man of good reputation and
joined an Episcopal church in Savannah
soon afte#|enteriug the bank. It was a
part of his duty, apparently, to fill up
drafts. In the book kept for that purpose,
so iar as Mr. Kelly is informed, aud as is
a business way of many bankers, the cash
ier was in the habit of signing the blank
drafts in advance. *
As each draft lias a number printed cor
responding to one on the stub left after it
is detached, aud fraudulent detachment
could be immediately discovered by the
cashier. But Mr. Jones was equal to the
emergency. lie tilled out drafts to the
amount of $32,500 and secured them,
writing the word “ cancelled ” on the
stubs, and explained to the cashier that
from some error the drafts had been de
stroyed. No suspicion whatever was en
tertained of the dishonest inteution, and
some weeks ago, Jones, who was sent
north on business, came to Kissant & Cos.,
of this city, to whom he was known as an
employee of the Savannah bank, and in
formed them that he was about to seud
money north for an investment. They
consented to receive it for him, and accor
dingly', on his return he forwarded the
Btoleu drafts.
A wef-k ago yesterday he appeared
again in IS'cw York (it is not known where
he spent the interval, hut he was missing
for some time from Savannah, and suspi
cions were entertained that he had been
foully dealt with), aud visiting Kissam &
Cos., asked them to give him credit, as he
wished to overdraw his account. This
was, of course, refused, being contrary to
business rules, aud Jones thereupon asked
for his money, saying that if they could
not give him credit it was of no advantage
to him to keep money with them. The
drafts were made payable to the order of
Kissam & Cos., and with the endorsement
of that firm presented at the Park National
Bank, aud at once cashed. The currency
was handed to Jones in the evening, and
he departed, taking rooms at the Brevoort
House.
Wednesday morning his room was dis
covered to have been unoccupied during
the night previous, and Jones who had
registered his name in full on his arrival,
was seen no mor. . His hill was unpaid.
Nothing was found in the room but a worn
valise, in which was an old silver watch
aud a jewel case from Tilfauy A Cos. Ap
pearance indicated a “mysterious diaap
pearauce,” and supposed is it that Jones,
wished to favor such a hypothesis. Mean
while the officers of the Savannah bank,
unable to account for their clerks disap
pearance in any way, suspected the possi
bility of a connection between it and the
cancelled stubs upon their book. They
telegraphed the numbers of the drafts to
Mr. Kelly, and asked if they had been
cashed. They had ; “but they are cancel
led on our books.’’ The fraud was out.
This was on Muuday last, and an account
was published in the Saturday papers.
The proprietors of the Brevooit House
immediately informed Mr. Kelly of the
circumstances of Jones, disappearance-
Detectives were set at work, and the first
results of inquiry were that Jones bad
purchased quite a quantity of jewelry
from Tiffany & Cos., on Tuesday Jast.
Descriptions were telegraphed to Europe
and in every direction over this country
at once. The opinion is held by some
detectives that the defaulter has sailed for
Cuba, where means have been taken to
intercept bim. As the cashier's signature
to the draft is believed to be bona fitle the
loss ia sustained by the Savannah bank,
and even were it a forgery nqloss would
fall on the Park National Bank, but on
the endorsers, Messrs. Kissam & Cos.
MACON, GA., TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1873.
Hark Twain on the Car-Hook Murder
er and tho Pardoning Power.
From the New York Tribune.]
1 have trad the Foster petitions. The
lawyers’ opinions do not diiturb me, be
cause 1 know that those same gentlemen
could make us able an argument in favor
of Judas Iscariot, which is a great deal
for me to say, for I never can think of Ju
das Iscariot without losing my temper. To
my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing hut
a low, mean premature Congressman. The
attitude of the jury does not unsettle a
body, 1 must admit; and it seems plain
that they would have modified their ver
dict to murder in the second dedree if the
Judge’s charge had permitted it.
But when I come to the petitions of
Foster's friends, and find out Foster’s true
character, the generous tears will flow—l
cannot help it. How easy is it to get ,a
wrong impression of a man ! I perceive
that from childhood up lie Ims been a
sweet, docile thing, full of pretty ways and
gentle impulses ; the charm of the fire
side ; tho admiration of society ; the idol
of the Shnday School. 1 recognize in
him the divinest nature that has ever glo
rified any mere human being. I perceive
that the sentiment with which lie regarded
temperance was a thing thut amounted to
frantic adoration
1 freely confess that it was the most
natural thing in the world for such an or
ganism as this to get drunk and insult a
stranger and then beat hi* brains out with
a car-hook because he did not seem to ad
mire it. Such is Foster. Aud to think
we came so near losing him ! How do we
know that he is the advent ? And yet,
after all, if the jury had not been hamper
ed in their choice of a verdict 1 think 1
could consent to lose him !
The humorist who invented trial by
jury played a colossal practical joke upon
the world ? hut since we have the system
we ought to try to respect it—a thing
which is not thoroughly easy to do when
we reflect that by command of the law
the criminal juror must be an intellectual
vacuum attached to a melting heart aud
perfectly macaronian bowels of compas
sion.
1 have had no experience in making
laws or amending them, but still I cannot
understand why, when it takes twelve
men to inflict the death penalty upon a
person, it should take any less thun twelve
more to undo their work. If I were a
Legislature and had jus! been elected, and
had not lmd time to sell out, I would put
the pardoning and commuting power into
the hands of twelve able men, instead of
dumping so huge a burden upon the
shoulders of one poor petition-persecuted
individual. Mark Twain.

IT is universally conceded that advertising is
a necessity to success in business; it is also
conceded, by tire shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
TIIE MONROE ADVERTISEII
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the beet medium at
communication with the planting interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from parties who read .
their cards in The Advertieer. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns,
candidly say that its value exceeds that of all
other journal* in which they are represented.
The Advertieer has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS.
No advertisements are admitted whisk ar*
not believed to be above question and of real
value, and from parties so unquestlonsblf re
liable that the readers of The Advertieer will be
safe in ordering them from any distance. Te
our readers, the fact of its appearance here has
all the weight of endorsement and authority.
