William Montgomery, cashier of tho
Allegheny bank until the discovery of
a shortage In Us funds of over $1,
ISO, 000 early last summer necessitated
closing the Institution, was today for
the second time this week found guilty
of embezzlement and abstraction of
funds, his speculations in the two cases
amounting to 1613,000. As in the first
case, Montgomery offered no testimony
in defense. The Jury was out less than
two hours. ,
Montgomery was also Jointly Indict
ed with Addison A. Alutaffer, diHcount
clerk, the latter being accused of aid
ing the cashier in abstracting the
bank's funds, and the hearing of this
case will probubly begin next week.
EJVery effort has been made to learn
from Montgomery what became of the
money abstracted, but the cashier has
steadfastly refused to involve others.
and it Is generally believed that it is
to prevent the possibility of these be
ing dragged into the case that no de
fense was offered.

Enough Evidence Secured to Hung
Night ICIdcrs.
The ringleader of the night rider
near Samburg, Tenn'., it is believed, is
a prisoner at Campu Nemo.' His name
is Garrett Johnson, and It is the gencr
al opinion that Johnson, if he can be
compelled to tulk, could tell more
about the recent outrages than any
other man under arrest.
' Not less than forty men alleged to
have been connected actively with
night riding In this territory are untie
arrest, and enough evidence already
has been collected, to hung at least
four men.
The latent report to reach Samburg
from Tiptonville Is that "Tld" Burton
has broken down completely and that
his confession implicates 3)u men
from Obion county. Kven the onth
taken by the night riders has been
confessed, though the officials will not

part stocks and bonds not lifted on

In London and through the British
ambassadors abroad a formal denial
that the rupture In the direct negotia

Turkey was due to Great Britain's In.

in the actual situation, the tendency
of diplomatic activity Is toward peace.
Servia remains the danger point, and
the visit of the Servian crown prince
