MISSING FOR FOURTEEN YEARS. A Prodigal Son Found by a Cousin Accused of Murdering Him. Frank Woosley, who had been missing for fourteen years, and wasmourned by his mother and sisters as dead, is now at South Charleston, ten miles east of Springfield, Ohio, paying a forced visit to them, Woosley went to Fort Griffin, Tex., fourteen years ago to live ona ranch with his cousin, Brock. His mother, who is worth $100,000, had been supplying him with money until her Patience became exhausted. She then wrote him a kind, motherly letter, told him to brace ver hear from him again. A couple of days afterward he disappeared, and up till a few days ago was never again heard of. He disappeared so mysteriously that Brock ‘was ace} of murdering him, and it isclaimed that throngh Mrs. Woosley'sefforts he did serve «few months in jail pending trial. He was in danger of his life at the hands of frontiersmen, and when he was liberated he set out to solve the mystery. In his search he spent $20,000, finally finding Woosley at Benton, Iowa, where he married and was manufacturing crockery. Brock ‘now declares that he will institute a suit against Mra. Woosley for false imprison- ment and against her and her son to recover the £20,000 he spent. ‘One of the strangest features of the story is that Woosley all the time knew of the search that was being made for him. When found he was passing under his real name, although for ars he had worn an assumed nate. k rought him back in order to satisfy his mother and justify himself. a +e. —____ MR. DREW'S RESIGNATION. Its Asked for by Controller Lacey—Gist o the Correspondence. Controller Lacey made pubjic last evening correspondence between Bank Examiner Drew and himself, losing with a request for Mr. Drew's resignation. Ina letter of date June 29 Mr. Lacey informs the bank examiner that an investigation of the affairs of the Keystone National Bank discloses the fact that when Mr. Drew's report of January 24 was made the bank was indebted on account of clearing- house certificates in the sum af €544,851.46, said indebtedness being secured by pledge of ite notes and bills amounting to $729,308.93, which assets were then held by the clearing- house committee and were not in the custody of the bank. “You will observe,” the letter says, ‘that this mdebtednessof $544,851.46 is not stated among the liabilities of the bank, nor is any mention made in either report or letter of this large indebtedness, nor of the absence of so lurge a portion of the assets. “You quested to ex; the caure of these omissions at your earliest convenience.” In his reply Mr. Drew say was confounded at the omission, and I cannot account for it, only that, purposely not including it ip the ‘report, I intended to in- clude and explain it in my letter, which. it a ears, I failed to do, although the memoranda for my letter contains reference t> the subject. In my later reports it was not omitted. “To be complete in statement of the ac- counts, the report of Jannary 24 should have included the amount of the certificates as an additional liability, and a corresponding amount should have appeared on the debit side, either in ‘stocks, &c., on hand,’ or in a ‘deficit account,’ or in Both. the omission was clearly an accident, but was no less calculated greatly to mislead.” Under date of July 2 the controller writes asking for Mr. Drew's resignation. In conclu- sion this letter say “As a result the conclusion was reached that 80 important an omission, after fifteen days’ in- vestigation of the bunk, is not consistent with the confidence which must necessarily be re- posed by the department in the repors of hose appointed to make examinations of ns- tional banks. iy direction of the Secretary, I have, therefore, to request that you forward to this office your resignation as un examiner of na- tional banks. 5 “L cannot close this examination without as- suring you of my sincere regret that anything shoul have occured which would render nec- essary the severing of your official relations with this bureau. eas "S TAX RECEIPTS. A Factor In the Campaign of '92 Comes Be- tore the Courts, hancellor Saulsbury issued a preliminary junction yesterday, says a Wilmington, Del., dispatch, restraining the levy court of New- castle county from restoring to the assessment lists the names of certain alleged taxables who had been returned by the collectors as de- linquent. There are about 4.000 tax receipts involved, purchased from the collectors and now in possession of the levy court, a republi- can body. As the names of the alleged tax- ables which there receipts represent have been returned as delinquents the county has not re- ceived their taxes. ‘The republican contention is that the restor- ation of the names to the assessment lists will make the collectors responsibie to the county for the taxes represented by the receipts. The democrats contend that the real object in view is to legitimize these 4,000 tax receipts for use in the election of 1892. The injunction was granted on the application of one of ex-Collector MeKee's sureties, who set forth that if the levy court decided the tax receipts good such action would iliegally enhance the responsibility as- sumed by the collector's sureties. pis Spee Take Macalester tonight for grand time. * Maca.ester will wait for — Ou! don’t miss it.
