THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SPENCERIANA How Much Was Stolen from the State Savings? fome Historical Gossip Concerning the Cook County. What Did the Rohber Vo with the Money Ho Stolo? It ts impossible to tell as yet with any dearce of certainty the amount actually stolen from the State Savings by Mr. Spencer. A thorough examination of tho books will frat have tu be made to find out how much was lost through pis mismanngement,—through reckless loans on worthless sccurities,—nnd then fn order to arrive at the sum which he himself has pock- eed, [tts only possibic at present to figure in avers rough way, The amount duo depositors {a 82,050,000, It is not likely, taking the rosicat slew of ft, that more than $900,000 willbe col- iected from the assets towards the payment of the bank’s debts. This will show that $2,080,- of money paid in by depositors hns gone; and to thisimust be added, as showing the ex tent of Spencer's stcalings or squamicrings, the amount of capital stock actually paid In This fast Stem can hardly bo deter- mined, It is in all the statements that the amount of paid-up stock was $500,000, Tuas certainty #210000. When the Board of Directors decided. in 1873, to increase the cap- ital stock from $105,000 to $500,000, there was titand asurphis of $103,000, In alloting the new stock At was declared that cach person should pay for it at par. A holder of one share of old stork was entitled to about five of the new, Of theso five shares one was alreaily paid np, asecond was pald for by the dividend of 100 reent declared ont of the aurntus; theremaln- He fhree should have been patd for at par, oF #00, If thls were done in all the cases, there would have been a pald-up stock of $500,000, and Mr. Spencer, who took 2,39 shares of the new stock, Would have been eatled on to pay in £113,000 xs his portion in the subscription. Hlow far this new stock wag actually paid for fn caeh hag not yet been found out. Assuming that itwas all pald for, the total amount of the plua- dering or wasting on Spetcer's part woul amount to 82,534,000, Of this about $313,000 Is represented by the worthless Calumet & Chi- cago Canal & Dock Company's sceuritics ; 8517;,; 0 by hls own note for money borrowed; B:210,- ( by South Park and Calumet & Clitcago Canal’ bonds, which were shoved up in New York. and the exnct etatus of which is uns gnown. This makes §1,000,000, loaving about FA, 000 UTTERLY UNACCOUNTED FoR. It is probable, however, that Spencer and Dob- tng never paid up {n cash for the tic stovk is- sued tothems and that the amount of their shortage should be deducted from thts $400,000, This also linpossible to tell nt preeent, aud. may always remain so, whether the price pald for all thls Calutnct & Chicago Canal stock wus actus ally the aun which purports by the bank's books tohaye been pald for it. Fur fistinee: 50 shares may have been bought by Mr. Spencer at #1, anil he may have charged: the bank 60 cents, and pocketed the difference, As to what Mr. Spencer did with the amount of money repre- ented by his two notes, which aggrerate $317,- 0, It is Impossible to state, A portion of It may have been notes for the new stock, never tall, Sotarag is known, he was not extraya- cant in bis habits, and if he did ony speculating on Change {thas never been known. Mr. Mien’a doings in that ne soon leaked out, or were suon suspected, but nobody has yet been able to connect Mr. Spencer with any of the transactions in wheat, orcorn,or pork, which have heen the ruin of many fortunes. It is nore likely that he saw a year or more ago that fae tine must come when the bank would fall, aid that he provided for this cmer- racy by fnvesting the money which he ‘rowed, so that when the crash came and he bad to flee, he would have somewhere an os- sured means of subsistence, The note for $440,000 ptirpoits tu have been made on the dist of December, 1875, and {3 secured by 2,723 shares of sto-ky buat that dato Spencer didn't have that anount of stock, aud the probabillty fs that the note was made o short time belore the smiash-up, When he saw that. it was going, and concluded that .{f Was as well to huye things technlenily correet, and fixed up the books 60 that they would: balance, SPENCER'S FINST INVESTOENT Inthe Stute Savings was made June 29, 1872, when Chauncey Bowen gold hint some shares. Bowen was at the same tine Inthe Cook County National, which Spencer was runomg, and {t vas in this way that he happened to buy into tho State. Jfs nest purchase was made {ni January of the foliowing year, when Mr. Sldway sold bim 219 shares, ‘The cause of Spencer's change of base from the Cook County to the State fs, if the story ts true, ruther remote; aud the depositors of the State will tnd the starting polut-of their troubles in an Jowa railroad. At the timo the Miseissippl dc Migauurl Railroad went to smash, in 1567, B. FY. Allen trusted to him about 2550,000 In bonds, which he was to hold until the Court could take some disposition af tha Be erty, ‘This immense trust-fund was the asis of his prosperity, aud og his wealth grow todd this fund, which he had ultimately to re- fore, accutnulate, owing to the coustantly-ace cruing interest. In 187273 it had swelled to $3,009, Allen was still in Towa, running his two or threo banks there. Mr. Tracey, then controlling the Rock Istand, knew that the troubles of the ML. & M, would soon bo settled, and that Allen would be called upon to erstora these bunds, He = knew, or fudged Ne knew, that it woul be iuposetble for Allen to do ft, and that not even thecleaning out of ull his fowa banks would enable hlin to restoro this trust fund. He there. fore adyised Allen to come te Chleago and buy abank bere. ‘This would put tim tn a position Where he would be enabled to command more jioney, and could with niore ease replace these fevuritles Mm the Court so ordered. Allen fameon here carly in 1873, and, after lookin: ou the situation, entered Into negotiations with, Spencer, which were tually consummuted along In June, when Spencer suld him 2,630 shares of the Cook County Natlonal stock for $313,804, ‘Tee trade was un o basis of S110, and tn. wddl tlon to this there was £20,804, which was a pros fettiinate shareof the premium on the Ualted tates accurittes held by the bank to secure its eculation, Furtliled with this €312,000, about the whole of which it is believed Spencer re- ae ou bly own account, be went further into STATE fAVINGS MANK Mock, and bought out Bhufeldt aod his wife, Who had between them 10d sharca, For tho ftock of the State Savings he paid $400 a share, is way scuin a rather fancy pricy, but ut that Une, as was previously stated, there was a eure blus of $103,000 on hand, which made the shares: Worth £200 to beyin witit, and It was considered, hd <xeellent au investinent, and the bante had so. ish a reputation, that Bpencer was willing to py the $400, Hu dilute at that time, however, wie ‘untrolllng intercet, or anything Hke It. iy the stock was Inereased dn” 1873 be had EY shares only, und Dobhius 405, the remainder Ganz divided up us tcllowas Bickford, 50; Hage; Turner, 80; Hough, 20; Guild, 20} foutwia, 10; Bowen, 10; bith, $3 Basa, 15 wee, 1; Foster, 13 Bidways 1; and Kidder, 3, pea the new stock was allotted, however, the stig of alfairs changed matertatly, and tha sary list then ataod: Spencer, 2,509) Dobbins, ra Hough, 424; Bickford, 400; ‘Turner, 40, Guild 100, Goudiin 50, Kidder 5, Smith 30, Ruel 10, Tumer & Ray 44, ‘Turner (truater) 7, obey 5, Hass 25, Butktey $00, Bicktord (trustec} 44 Dure 20, Foster 5, Buwen 50. ‘The way in which the control changed hands how Nery sinipie, = When Dobbins went in, it ane the expectation of running: the ‘bank. thouch he had the reputation of being Sealthy, and did have a good deal of mone pel still ie was on the. dawn grade, ILS lal goun in with Georye 8.

He may have, Ike Mr. Micawher, given his note for everything which hv took from the bank. It ts likely, of course, that Guild and Bulkley, espectalty the latter, knew that things were not what thoy should be, and that the bank was continually on the verge of fallures itis known that Guild had a ‘row with Spencer week before last, and It 1s thought that It wos on account of the way fn which the latter was running things. They intght say that while they knew the bank was ‘going to fall, It was not thelr business to say any- thing = regarding the‘ private ~ affalra of the oman who loved them, or the institution they served. Assuming that, they have done nothing wrong, the physical fear that they might have of yiolente trom SOME OUTRAGED DEPOSITOR wonld be a suMelent reason why they should wisn to keep out of town until the Aret heatand flurry of the excitement had blown over. As- suming tls to be correct, however, it fs nut likely that they will return for some thine, if they rend the report of tlie nroeuell ings of Sat- urday’s meeting of the credliurs, for the ox- presstuns then used were not ot a nature to cheer a nervous man. MI. WENTWORTH. Areporter last evening called on Mr. Went- worth to ascertain 16 any news had cropped out of the State Savings Justitution during the day. Mr. Wentworth desisted froin a contemplative perusal of the Fawnily Bible Jong cnourh to say that nothing had been heard from New York concerning the agreement under which a part of the bonds were held. He added that he hud during the day been putin possession of In- formation, for which he could not youch as yet, which, if trac, would indicate that the bank had been rotten to the core for as muchas fve years. ‘The Cominittee intended to ascertain, if they could, when, if ever, the concern was in asol¥ont condition. Concerning the prospects fora dividend, Mr. Wentworth thought that nothing could be estimated with any accuracy until an accountant bad figured the value of every small mortgage by deducting from its fave’ whatever ~ sum the = signer iad on deposit. This would, of course, cause some ahrinkuge, The estimate would be beun to- day. In view of all the facts, including some Information not before estimated, Mr. Went~ worth did uot feel like predleting a dividend of tore than 10 per cent for depositora.
