Crawford, cashier of the Ameri- can National Bank, which failed several weeks ago, was arrested to- day by deputy U. 8. marshal W. T. Brown on two warrants sworn out by bank examiner W. D. Latimer, who is in charge of the bank. One warrant charges Mr. Crawford with making false statement of the condi- tion of the bank at the close of busi- ness January 1, 1893. The other warrant charges Mr. Crawford with embezzling the funds of the bank. Crawford was taken before U. S. Commissioner Silsby and bound over in sum of $5,000 for a preliminary hearing, which takes place March 24. The bond was furnished by Colonel John O'Day, Mr. Crawford's brother in-law. When seen by the Times correspondent Mr. Crawford declared that he had no statement whatever to make. Col. H. D. Wil- liams, receiver of the bank, says that the shortage so far $16,500. The shortage has been ou the books since May 27, and Colonel Williams says that it has been coy- cred up by expert bookkeeping. ~pank examiners Galbraith and Ho rine have thoroughly examined the amounts to byyks since May 27, but failed to discover the shortage. It is stated that on the best of authority that Crawford's real short- age will foot up at least $30,000 He had a system of loaning to his broth ers, whose notes are worthless, which is not believed to be regular The arrest is the sensation of the hour. Mr. Crawford is another Na- poleon of finance. Ten ago he was a bank clerk ona modest sal ary. He first attracted attention when, after a bitter contest, the gov ernment decided to locate a public building on a lot in which Mr. Craw- ford owned a small interest. Craw- ford declined to sign the deed con veying the property to the govern ment unless the adjoining property owners gave hima big bonus. In the meantime a rival section of town came in and located the building a mile away. Next he organized the American National bank with a capi tal of $200,000, and some of the wealthiest men in the United States were induced to take stock. years Three years ago the Baldwin theater, a structure costing $80,000 was put up and became bankrupt almost as soon as finished. Crawford got contro! of the big building for $7,500, and has held it He has paid no taxes or interest on the debts against the property, but has derived a poat income, neverthe less, by runving the theater, as weil as renting anumber of offices and store rooms in the building. Tbe ereditors of the concern are now try ing to take the building out Crawford’s hands, and a motion to appeint a receiver will be argued be- fore the United States circuit court | of Kansas City next Monday. Crawford also owned ever since. of a dry goods | establishment here called the Boston store. It failed soon after was taken in charge of ernment.
