THE SAME OLD STORY.
Cotton Futures the Cause of
His Crookedness. Forged
Notes To The Amount
of SIOO,OOO and
Probably More.
New York, June 15.—Albert S.
Moore, the secretary and treasurer
of the East River Silk Company,
who is now occupying a ce’l in the
tombs, under charges of forging in
dorsements of the firm of Inman,
Swann & Co., and of Robert W.
Inman, to notes, and the name of
John Menke as acceptance to
drxfts, passed an almost sleepless
night in cell 91 of the old prison,
which he occupies alone, and ate
but little breakfast. In an inter
view he said:
“I first forged three years ago.
I was a bookkeeper for Inman,
Swann & Co., for whom I had
worked for fourteen years. I had
been speculating in the market and
was long on cotton. Late one eve
ning my broker came to me and
told me that I had to put up more
margin at once. He was in deep
water, and my failure to keep the
contract I had with him would
have necessitated his failure. I had
no money, but I told him I would
give him the needed amount. In
an unfortunate moment I decided
that I could raise the money on
bad paper. I expected to realize a
fortune and buy back the note.
‘‘l made a note with a forged in
dorsement and sold it to the bank.
Just the amount I got, I do not
know.
“From that time on things went
bad with me. I was on the wrong
side cf the market and simply got
deeper and deeper. I had to keep
on selling bad paper to raise money
to keep up. But all the time things
got worse and worse until now I am
here. My arrest was not unex
pected. I knew two days ago that
I was to be arrested and made no
effort to escape.”
“What is the amount of your
forgeries?” was asked
“I had a memorandum of all the
bad paper I "passed and gave it to
the police. The report that the ag
gregate is over SIOO,OOO is not cor
rect. lam positive that there was
not over $75,000. I can say now
that I sold no paper out of town —
not a cent’s worth.”
The following list of the amounts
paid by various banking institutu
tions which had bought his forged
paper was shown to him :
National Union bank, $5,000.
The Bank of New York, $2,500
The Southern Natonal bank,
$2,900.
The Bank of America, $24,000.
The United States National,
SIO,OOO.
When asked if this list would
cover all his forgeries Im said :
“Yes; with the exception, T
think, of a bad note of the silk |
company for s(‘>,ooo, which 1 sold ,
to the Broadway bank. I am posi
tive that no more bad papers for
which I am responsible is out.”
Moore was arrainged in the tombs
police court this afternoon and was
held in $25,000 bail for trial on the
charge of forging a note for $12,-
000 on the Central National
| bank, with Jthe forged signatures
of Robert 11. Inman and Inman,
Swann & Co.
Moore waived examination. M .

SOMETHING FINE.
Hon. Seaborn Wright in ?. new
Role.
A great performance promise!
Capt. M. A. Nevin is preparing
for a revival of that great old play
“The Lady of Lyons,” to be given
for benefit of St. Peters church.
The play will be put on under Capt.
Nevin’s own management the same
as »hen given by the old Rome
Amateur Club, of which he w; s
manager tor three years. The best
of talent is being selected. Hon.
S. W. Wright has consented to ap
pear as Melnotte, M. M. Pepper as
Bcauseant and the beautiful and
accomplished Mrs, Ethel Hillyer
Harrises Pauline. So the public
will see that something fine is com
ing. The balence of the charac
ters will be selected in a few days, :
when rehersals will begin.
The Origin of a Name.
It is a singular thing to trace
the origin of names, some of them
st rt in very funny ways. For in
stance the name of Ledbetter.
A century or two ago two com
panies left Wales, each led by a
man named Smith, who were broth
ers. They settled in Virginia, one
colony did very poorly, the other
•ucceeded and flourished finely and
increased rapidly, owing to the
fact that it was led into a fertile
and healthy section.
The former got to be called the
founder of the led-better colony,
after Led-better Smith and Anally
Mr. Ledbetter.
One of these decendants is now
in Rome and should be called Capt.
A. W. Smith instead of Capt. A.
W. Ledbetter.

EXCELLENT INNOVATION.!
Evoitement over The refusual i
of the faculty To Grant a
diploma To Belcher
who was a Candi
date for A- M.
Athens Ga , June 15. —This ses
sion of the university trustees will
probably go down in history as the
most interesting ever held by that
body. Their sessions are strictly
private, but the fact cannot be
disguised that matters of more than
passing importance are to be lis
cusscd and acted upon before the
adjournment of the board next
Wednesday.
The facts in the case of Archi
bald Belcher, who was expelled
Wednesday by the faculty on ac
count of a letter written by him to
Professor Petrie, of Auburn, con
cerning Professors Bocock and
Hooker, wer-given to the public
in this mornings Constitution and
have been the theme of li’cussion
everywhere today.
Belcher and his friends are m.ng
ling with the trustees, presenting
his side of the case, and the facul
ty is no doubt posting that dis
tinguished body on its side. To
morrow the trustees wi'l take up
the matter.
The faculty says nothing about
the matterjexcept that the letter
written by Belcher to Professor
Petrie, of Auburn, was such as to
necessitate his expulsion.
The board of visitors will, before
adjournment, probably raise, a
considerable racket. They are as
mum as anyone oould be about
their report, but it has leaked oUC
that it will contain recommenda
tions concerning certain depart
ments of the college that will raise
a storm when the report goes be
fore trustees tomorrow at noon.
This report will be the first report
ever made by a board of visitors to
the board of truttees. Under the
old law the board of visitors re
po ted simply to the gouernor.
During the last session of the gen
eral assembly of Georgia, quite a
lively debate arose over the alleged
refusal of the board of trustees to
hear recommendations from the
board of visitors, and the legisla
ture made it a duty of the visiting
board to make a report to the
trustees and tnat the trustees
should give their recommendations
due consideration. Some comment
has been made among the people
about the extreme youth of several
of the members of the visiting
board, two of them having only
four years experience as teachers,
and one of them only two years
experience. They have gone nt tho
work in e irnest, however, and the
report is that their recommemla'-
ijonsin some respects will be quite
breezy.
One thing is certain ami that is
that bo the unanimous vote of the
visiting board a recomiinndaViou
will be made to tha trustees to op
en the doors of the university to
"iris. This was recommended by
he board of visitors several year
ago, and caused considerable com
ment at the time, but the board of
trustees paid no attention to it,
and it soon became a dead issue.
Wile a great many in talking
about the question expressed them
-elves as favorable to it, the L<M
