Marden—His Ac- complices Not Yet Arrested. Yesterday Mr. Wm. A. Barton, a special de- tec\ive of the Treasury Department, procured a warrent from the Police Court, charging Fred- erick A. Marden, chief of the division of ac- counts in the United States Treasurer's office with having felonionsiy and wilfally embezzled and converted to his own use $15,000 of tne money of the United States, which was in his possession for safe keeping, transfer and dis- bursement. Mr. Eekloi, the marshal of the court, in the afternoon proceeded to the resi- dence ef the accused in Georgetown, and on inquiring for him was invited in, and asking a private interview, he read the warrant. Mr. Marden expressed no surprise. and stated that he won'd accompany the marshal. At the some time he requested that his wife, who is quite sick, should not be iuformed of his atrest Marshal Ecklot! acceded to his request, and im- mediately proceeded with his prisoner back to the Police Court. Marden was askea by the Judge whether he could furnish $20,000 bail, and replied: “Not this evening, sir.” He ‘was, therefore, committed to jail’ for a hearing on Tuesday next, Mr. Closs, representing the gov- erpment, asking that that me be set for a hearing. Marden is a Massachusetts man. and has been in the department for the past uine years. He was a disbursing clerk until 1868 or *9, when he Was promoted to chiet of the division of ac- counts in the office of the Treasurer. Gen. Spin- ver, as well as other officers of the department, hed unbounded confidence in his integrity, re- garding him as possessing peculiar qualifications tor the responsible position he held until within the past few months, when suspicion of some- thing wrong in his official was awa- kened. it was not until within the pastfew days, however, that the alleged frauds were brought to light. It ischarged that hisrolls as disbureing clerk show that he paid out $15,900 less than the amount drawn by him, henee his arrest for em- bezzlement. He was formerly a well-to-do mer- chant in Boston, Mass., and Came here in 1861, and until his arrest yesterday he bore among ali who had known him an unbiemished repata. tion, He has resided in Georgetown for som (ime past with his family, aud has hadenuch tronbie recently on account of the ill-health ot himself and his wife and ehild. He isa man of rather prepossessing appearance, about furty or forty-five vears of age. Since his committal to jail yesterday bis friends have becn active in looking up Wail for him, and expect to secure his release, so that he may better prepare his defence. He declines to be ‘interviewed by any reporters, but to his friends he gives assurances that he will be able to satisfactorily explain the discrepancy. Br Bergen acted ax his connsel yesterday. The matter is stit! undergoing investigation at the Department, and it is said to-day that th: whole simount of the defaleation so far discoy- d is thought to be about $51,000, accomplives of Marden inside or outside of the’ Department having bagged $36,000 or more. The defaication was discovered a few days since by a committee appointed by Gen. Spin- ner to Investigate affairs in the cash-room. A clerk in the cash-room ts believed to have been an accomplice of Marden, and will doubtless be arrested to-night or to-morrow. Solicitor Ban- field says he docs not believe that Marden ased the money for the purpore of speculating. The Senate Committes.
