WERE NO SIGNS OF VIOLENCE People of O'Neill , While They Want Justice Meted Out to the Offending Officers , Do Not Even Suggest Any thing of a Violent Type. IKioiu b'lliluy's lall > . ] O'Neill , Nob. , Due. 30. Special to The Mows : Sheriff C. 13. Hall with Bernard McGreevy hi custody , arrived hero on the 10:25 : Northwestern train last night. They wcro met at the train by Jailor Jim McCarthy , with a buggy in which the prisoner was placed and driven Immediately to the county jail. This morning McGreovy ate breakfast. The News correspondent was pres ent and failed to notice any demon stration whatever , of a hostile nature on the part of any of the people here. No larger crowd was present than Is frequently seen at the depot at train tiuio and no shouting or jeering was indulged la by the spectators. Wife Drove to Ewlng. Mrs. McGreovy drove to Ewlng dur ing the afternoon to meet him and got off the train with them when they arrived hero. It has been repeatedly reported to the dally papers that a very bitter feeling existed hero against the pris oner and Mr. Hagorty , and that n hemp social was not unlikely In event of their return. These reports are un true. The Nowa represeutatlvo has been In the city over sluco the Elkhorn Valley bank closed its doors and Is thoroughly informed regarding the ' sentiment of the people toward the offending olflcers. While there Is a determination expressed by everyone to see that Jubtlce is meted out to them , there Is yet to learn of a sug gestion of mob violence. His preliminary hearing will be held today. PUTS BLAME ON HAGERTY. McGreevy Ate Supper in Norfolk , and Was Interviewed. "I was merely an employe of the bank , " explained Bernard McGreevy , the runaway president of the defunct Elkhorn bank , who passed through Norfolk last night , and ate supper here. He was in charge of Sheriff Hall of Holt county on his way back to stand trial for the alleged looting of the bank. "I have but little to say to you newspaper men , and that is that I had no financial Interest In the hank. Its management was absolute ly In the hands of Patrick Hagerty , in whoso employ I was. "I never drew more than $000 a year from the bank for my services. I was In and out of the bank , but Hagerty had charge of the business and made all of the loans. From the fact that I was a mere employe , I did not believe that any criminal liability could attach to me for the shortage , of which I had knowledge some time before the crash came. " Did Not Seek to Evade Officials. McGreevy Insisted that he had not left O'Neill because of any desire to evade the oflldals , or because he feared prosecution. When asked how he came to leave at about the time of the failure he explained the coinci dence as follows : "The state banking board had de manded n statement and I talked the matter over with Hagerty. We had a quarrel over the condition of the bank's affairs and I left the bank building. My wife had some mining property In Arizona and I made up my mind that It would be a good tlmo to go there to look after It. I had some thought of locating there. " Hero the banker pulled from an in ner pocket an envelope containing an assay sheet showing that the May flower mine had produced ore which ran two ounces of gold and enough other metals to bring the value up to $90 a ton. "You can see , " he said , "that the property has some value. My wife owns a sixth Interest In the mine. I went to look after the property. " Pathetic Scene. The fugitive banker presents a pa thetic appearance. His snow white hair forms a strange contrast with the Impressive authority of the sher iff. Ho Is a typical Irish farmer , blue eyed , with the ruddy cast of good health showing through his skin. Ho smiles readily and even allows a for lorn laugh to escape him when ho talks of his predicament. The old man believes that ho will bo able to secure ball at O'Neill. "Will you secure ball or have you already made arrangements ? " was asked the banker. Ho leaned towards the sheriff and called out : "Say , sheriff , do you think that I can find ball ? " The sheriff told him that ho thought so. but his look boiled his word. Says He Can Clear Himself. "I can clear myself , " mild Me- Groovy. "It may look bad for me , but I nm not responsible for the loss es which-have befallen the depositors In the bank. All the money I drew was $ fiOO a year and that was for my services. "I did not realize that there was any liability attached to my ixisltlon for I received a fixed salary. What ever else the bank made. linger ! y took. I did not know until recently that there was any stock In my name. Ilagorty has Issued It , but I know nothing of It until the state banking board asked for the numbers of my shares. "I do not know how long It has stood In my name. To show how un familiar I am with the banking busi ness I will say that I scarcely know how to enter up the books. I did some of the accounting work at times , but most of the details passed through the hands of Hagorty. " McGreovy worked on a farm , ho said , and sixteen years ago was hired by Hagorty to bccomo president of the bank. "I worked on a farm , " ho slated , "and Hugcrty then hired mo. Part of the contract was that during the sum mer I was to sell machinery and Ha- gerty was to have half the profits. I had not the slightest Idea that I would bo hold criminally liable for losses , under such an arrangement. "If I hold the stock which they say I have , I never received and dividends on It. If any were paid Ilagorty kept them for himself. I have no means of knowing what ho may have taken from the bank. It may have boon $2,000 or $3,000 a year. How ho spent the money I do not know. If ho used that money his family must bo much moro expensive than mine. Has No Property to Turn Over. "No , I have no property to turn over to the receiver. The real estate I owned I deeded over because I saw from the condition of the bank that no payment could bo made. That was all the property I had. "All the stories that I had $25,000 which I could turn over wore without foundation. I did not Have any such sum and could not have offered to turn It over. "Neither did I offer Sheriff McDon ald $8,000 to allow me to escape. I rather think the sheriff was anxious to get a lot of glory out of my cap ture. He trembled like a leaf when he arrested me , evidently thinking that ho had captured a great des perado. "The story that the sheriff held a receipt for $2fi,000 which I had brought with mo was a Ho made out of the whole cloth. " This statement was borne out by Sheriff Hall who produced the only money which the banker had In his possession represented by a certifi cate of deposit on the Phoenix Na tional bank for $079.30. "I had about $800 when I went down there , " explained the banker. "Tho money never was In the Elkhorn Val ley bank. Part of It came from the earnings of my children , a little from my wlfo and the balance was Insur ance money I had received four or five years ago at the death of my mother. " Here the old man's face flushed even to the ears , and lils lips trembled as he spoke of his family. He stated that he had not prepared the statement made by his wife at the time of his departure. The statement covered the same ground ns his ex pressions today , hut he said that he had known nothing of It. The wife had placed the blame entirely on Hagerty who Is married to Me- Greevy's sister He said that he had left the Mon day before Thanksgiving day when the failure of the bank and the de parture of the two officials became known. He stated that he did not know where Hagorty was and Sher iff Hall said that he felt reasonably certain that Hagerty had not been at Phoenix as reported. Knows Whare Hagerty Is. Sheriff Hall stated that he believed ho knew where Hagorty is and will be able to effect his capture at the proper time. Ho said that sentiment was much stronger against Hagerty than McGreovy , although the impres sion prevails that each secured some of the bank funds. McGreovy , who went under the name of Bryan In Arizona , when ar rested stated that ho used the name because the men around the mining camp called him Mr. Bryan. Ho said he used the name because his given name , Bernard , Is the same ns Bryan , and not with any attempt at deception. Sheriff Hall said that McGreovy had not objected In any way to returning to Holt county. McGreovy said that ho would have paid his own faro. PRESIDENT REMOVES HALL.

The closing meeting of the Leap Year club , which was extremely ag- groHsivo during the early part of this year , was hold In the secret don last night.

"I won't stop to mention thorn all , for I haven't the time. But of the | | nine weddings predicted by this socl-1 oty early In the year , six wore held I with nil of the splendor that anyone j could want. Wo had I'lom all spotted , | too , girls , didn't we ? " Whereupon , the girls agreed they did. "It Is systematic work that brings results , " suggested Knowing Nolllo. "Tho girls who worked with a sys tem , won out. Wo have at least reduced - ! ducod the number of marriageable , girls , and that IB something for fair. " ] "And you have also reduced the ' number of marriageable men , " Inter rupted Cunning Carrie , who knows a thing or two. Her remark brought a new phase to the question and when , suddenly , the club realized that they had not only been getting rid of a lot of surplus femininity , but had at the same time reduced their own chanc es by great majorities , they wept to gether.
