aFTKR an imprisonment of fourteen
years In tho Chateau tl'lf Edmond
Dantoa foil n J on tho Island of
MontoGrlato a Ikix of diamonds and
money that enabled him to return to
Franco and liecomo hii oinnlotont
Midas. C. W. Mosher found his treas
uro Ihix, and ho takes hi Imprisonment
after, instead of leforo hla accession to
tlnanolal eminence.
It tho box found on tho ialand waa an
Inexhaustible inliio of wealth, tho tress
tiro cheat yclept tho Capital National
bank, which Mother opened ao success
fully, waa a source of ahnoat unlimited
aupply, and thia modern Monte Orialo
waa aplendid in hla' plundering an
waa the count in hla expenditure. If
tho count complacently drew on tho
Baron Dangler for a million franca,
Moaher with equal sang frold tapped
the Weatern Manufacturing company
and drew out a note for 120,000, for im
mediate dlacount, or with tho utmost
complaisance pocketed 150,000 or 7r,000
belonging to the atate.
And tho aum total of Moehor'a plunder,
12,000,000, la not ao greatly out of pro
portion to tho Immense aum auddenly
placed in tho poaaeaaion of tho Count of
Monto Oriato. If Dantea becamo in ono
day the titled lord of Monte Crleto and
the poaaeaaor of fabuloua wealth, Moaher
became in leaa.than a year the weatern
Napoleon of finance and the poaaeaaor
of 93,000,000 of actual caah.
For there ia no doubt but thatMoaher'a
plundering nearly all occurred within a
year of the final collapse of the bank.
A great deal haa been written about
Mother'a peculations; but there ia, never
theless, a very scant appreciation, of the
magnitude of thla nian'a stealings. Few
realise or believe that Moaher stole
92,000,000, and nearly all is a year'a time.
A consideration of the facts herewith
presented will make it reasonably ap-
parent that hla peculations amounted to
"the aum stated.
Within the laat two or three weeks
notes of the Western Manufacturing
company amounting to the tun of 1.190,.
000 were brought into court, and since
that time 996,000 more haa turned up,
maklag a grand total of 9365,000 of these
fraudulent Western Manufacturing
company notes amounted for to date.not
om of wfclek was ever paid, and every
om el which was issued by Moaher for
the sols' purpose ot theft,1-These aotes
all re to the Capital- Natkmal bis,
aad war all discounted through Dm
beak or Moaher. The Ofenakal Na
tied, of New Vork, got 96900 of them.
The first aote was issued hi September,
1999; and up to January 1, 1902, only
about 90,000 had been issued. Then
'Mather began his tine work in
sanest. From January, 1802, to Jan-
uary,19, 19BR, or a few; daya more than a
year, Moaher eoiaed the magnifcent
sum of 1916,090 In these notes.

tho last day tho bank was open, ono for

Among tho paMrs tlmt were found In
tho bank woro throe moro notes for
95,000, already signed and ready for dis
count, but evidently forgotten in Mr.
Moshor's hasto,
It is not contended that Bank Ex
aminor Griffith did not know about those
notes, and about some of tho other
crooked transactions, and yet ho said
nothing.
Something like an HpproxiniHto idea
of tho extent of Moaher's atoalings may
bo gathered from tho following showing!
9,155,000 fraudulent Western Mann,
factvrlng company's notes.
9210,000 stato funds.
942,000 county f unds.
921,000 city funds.
9107,000 individual notes belonging to
tho bank and atolen by Moshor. '
9.100,000, tho capital of tho bank hII
gone.
9350,000, Individual deposits subject to
check all gone.
9158,000, demand certirlcatee of do-poslt-all

These are a few of the major opera
tions of Monte Crlsto Mosher. Sevoral
hundred thousand dollars were atolen
that are not included in the above fig
ures. To do all this Moaher was compelled
to do some bookkeeping, the like of
whJeh was never seen before, involving
faks entries, erasures, etc., and yet Bank
Ixamlasr GrHBth hold his peace.
... Feellu over tho Mosher matter haa to
some, extent, died out, but there are
spasmodic manifestations of Indignation,
sad lately there has-been considerable
talk coaosrning Urlrntirs part in the
wholesale robbery. It is a matter of
general surprise that the government
has not made an investigation of Grif
fith's conduct. There are people in this
city who think he is lust as culpable as
Mosher, He was., and is paid to protect
the interests of the public, and instead,
he protected Mosher. and allowed inno
cent people to be defrauded. And he is
permitted to retain his position, and is
now saamlalng Nebraska banks.
