A very popular Israollto died In the

llrown's system required a wonder
ful memory. The expert say he car
ried In his head the figures that en
abled hi in to call off correctly a lot of
false entries In a way to throw the
clerks who were doing tho checking
completely off the track. A depositor
would put In 83,100. llrown, It is said,
would enter the proper amount of
the deposit in one book and
enter It as 810 in another. lie would
take the difference 83,000 himself.
Then when It came to checking
up, he would handle one of lio
books. Another clerk would check
and llrown would call off. Instead of
calling off 9100 which appeared as the
amount of the deposit on the book
which he was handling he would call
It as 83,100 thus inukiug it correspond
with the book In the hands of the.
other clerk. He also, it Is alleged,
worked It In another way. A deposit
or would draw out 8100. llrown would
make the propercntry in ono book and
enter 83,100 in another. When the de
positor hnd his account checked up the
figures were taken from the book in
which the correct entry had been
made. When the bank otllclals looked
to sec what amount was due the de
positor they were given their Informa
tion from tho book which showed 83,-
100, was drawn. The general ledger
was correctly kept and bain need .with
the cash, while the Individual ledger
it Is alleged, was llxcd to suit llrown's
purposes, the former the one that' the
bank officials examined. It Is generaly
believed that llrown's ilrst shortage
started accidentally with, an error of
81,000 In the individual account.

however, failed. As he was driven in
an open carriage to the Cuirassier bar

fell just behind the carriage Tho
woman was immediately arrested.
The woman's name is Seltna

nessed the outrage threw themselves
on his majesty's assailant, but the
prompt intervention of tho police
saved the woman from Injury.
The missile, it developed later, was a

ination of the prisoner has been made
and she has been, pronounced to be
insane.
While Emperor William was return
