10 BROKEN BANKS Suspension of the Mutual Benefit Savings Bank, \DITION AND PR ent in Regard to OSPECTS. th 7. Uh te A SURPLUS SHOWN ON PAPER Something About the Other Insol- vent Institutions. CAUTION TO MDEPOSITORS. From all indications the end of the failures among | the various savings banks ‘n this city has not yet been ached, Yesterday the Mutua! Benefit Savings Bank, ‘ng offices im the Staats Zeitung building, incor- pe din 1868, was compelled to succumb. That others will bave to follow the same course within the next thirty days there, unfortunately, is little room for doubt; but that a healtbier tone wil) then prevail 's equally certain, Many savings banks {n this city have for years been dragging out a precarious existence with a Line of deposits totally inadequate to allow ef an bon est dividend of interest to be declared to the depositors, such as has been paid, to say nothing of the ordinary expenses which have to be provided for tn the neces. | sary working of a moneyed institution or banking busi- ness. In fact, there appears to exist a determination on the part of the Bank Department of the State to fully perform the duties assigned to it, which ought to have been carried out more diligently and strictly than. has heretofore been the case. The number of savings Danks other than those which have already suspended, which are in no condition to continue busi- ness on as paying basis, is sufficientiy Jarge to cause immediate action, im order that innocent people may be protected and prevented from investing their hard-earned savings in concerns which are imsolvent beyond redemption. There are some ten of these institutions scattered over the city, the amount of whose business positively precludes their carrying on a banking business with the slight- est possible prospect of either making a profit or even of paying running expenses, while their Iast yearly statements show @ condition of afairs that should have received PEREMPTORY ACTION on the part of the Bank Superintendent, and their !m- mediate Suspension, anless the doubtful items set up as Dona fide assets were made good. Some of these | banks have not $50,000 worth of deposits ; the major- ily nave not $500,000 worth of deposits, which is con- sidered the only basison which @ savings bank can profitably carry on its business. But there are some that have mucb more than this sum, when from the very nature of the assets put down in their statements as a sot off against the liabilities to depositors ctearly indicates that instead of the surplus claimed in excess of indebtedness there exists an actual deficiency. The Bank Superintendent has, it is understood, lately instituted a series of inquiries, which will resnlt im the closing op of at least from eight to ten of the savings banks tn New York. The present condition of business affairs, as is well known, does not warrant the existence of the number of banks for savings now in operation; and the opinion of leading bankers througbeut the city appears to be that the sooner the small fry, which are simply a drain on the mdustry of the people, are weeded out the better it will be for the community generally. 4 MORE SECURE FEELING, ‘they say, will then be established, and business will assume a healthier tone, The closing of these uncer- ‘tain institutions may, it is said, result temporarily ina Joss to the few, but will eventually result in a general gain; for should they be allowed to continue the de- preciation arising from actual working expenses and ordinary contingencies will goon augmenting until the chances of anything like a fair settlement with creditors becomes very remote. “Better let the worst come at once," said all with whom the reporter conversed yesterday, *“*tham bave a successfon of failures which must occur | beyond peradventure; for from the present outlook there exists no possibility, or even probability, of an improvement ip business conditions.” THX MUTUAL SAVINGS B. as already stated, bas its oifices in Tryon row, tn the Staats Zeitung building, and the first intimation given to the public that it was in difficulties was made yester- day morning at the usual opening hour by the posting of the following notice in front of the teller’s desk ;— In accordaace with section 6, article 12, of the 2 bylaws of this bank, stxty days’ notice will be re- quired for the withdrawal of doposita G. H BENEDICT, Secretary. ORONO OE ROSE OLO DALE ONDE FICE O LIAL: This action on the part of the trastees and officers of the bank, although unlooked for by the depositors, was no surprise to financial people, for it has been long con- sidered a mystery among bankers and others how the aencern hat managed to float so long. In 1873, during the panic it sustained somewhat of a ran, ont put a stop to it by adopting the sixty-day rule, the same as at epresent, with the exception that then it did not refuse to récetve new deposits, as has now been done. Au ¢xaminationfensued by the Bank Department, which resulted in the di of a deficiency in the assets of $9,152 2, which was made good by the trustees giving their bonds fur the amount The bank was then al lowed to resume business, and this year removed from No. 166 Nassau street to ite present location. From ‘the time of its removal there appears to have been a slight :ncrease in the mamber of depositors, but with- ‘out 4 corresponding increase of prosperity, lor the de- ficiency gradually increased until itis now said to be over $20,000.

The reguit of his inquiries could not be muthentically ascertained yesteraay, but from the ad- Missions made by one of the trustees as given below, {t ‘would seem that there exists at the present time a dofl- ciency of over $22,000, to say nothing of the items charged as uaseta, such as furniture and fixtures $4,000, and estimated value of stocks over cost $7,230. ‘The item of $9,152 Zi charged in the last statement as ustees’ obligations to make up deficiency,” is sup- posed to be included in the present deticiency charge, WHAT 4 TRUSTER Says. On fication at the bank offices for information ‘Mr. Willard Bullard made a statement in answer to {n- quiries substantially as follows:—‘The number of depositors i pow about 2,800, and the amount de. posited about $420,000.

There were but few callerg ft this institution yester- day. The doors remained open as usual and the two | clerks were kept busy at Whe books assisting Mr. Reid, | the Bank Examiner, who was present making an inves- | igntion into the accounts and securities. Late in the alternoon the following statement, said to be under bis authority, was issued: | Bonds and mortgag + $227,482 27 | Call Joan: 22;700 00 | Town bonds, 3 $8,000 00 | Bauking house and jot. . ) Real estate, Movnt Vernox, 4.854 68 | Real estate, house and lot, Astor 2104 03 | Renus di ne 23,808 04 7,886 00 $416,730 54 409,820 77 | Excess of assets over !abflities............ $6,909 17 | Appended to the above was @ notification as follows :— ‘Mr, Reid, the Bank Examiner, authorizes the state- | ment that the bank 1s unquestionably sound.” | As a statement to the general public the above state- ment might be considered entirely satisfactory, but | there ig one item charged as an asset at $79,562 85 for | she building and lot, which it is difficult to understand. | The original cost of this property was, as stated in yes- | terday’s Haat, $78,460 43. Ite market value on the | 1st of January, 1875, as set forth in the statement made | by the bank on that was ostimated at $87,400 (probably a very ful estumate), aud now it is appraised | | by the Bank Examiner at over $79,000. Real estate | | owners, bank presidents and others residing on Third | | avenue’ say that 1f the building and ground were | sold $50,000 would be am extraordinary good price. It will, therefore, be seen that instead of an ap- parent excess of assets there will be a deficiency of | Dearly $23,000.

OTHER BANKS, There was no appreciable rn on any of the other savings banks in the city dering yesterday, but the smaller ‘institutions, both up and down town, are in some trepidation as to Monday’s results.

Gerry, Tilton & Colwell, merchants and deal- ers in iron, of No, 6 Rector street, whose schedule of | assets and liabilities appeared in yesterday’s Henao, were connected with two companies in Pittsburg who | failed last summer. A settiement was proposed on the \ | basis of twenty-five per cent for one-name paper, | thirty-five for two-name and forty-five for three-name paper. This was accepted by four-fifths of the credi- tors. Two of the dissatisfied creditors commenced suits, which obliged them to make a general assign- ment If these suite are decided against the firm they | will have to go throngh bankruptcy. The entire | amount involved in the failures of the Pittsburg cam- panies and the New York house. is over $1,500,000.

George W.

In his opinion the police should be de- prived of the use of the club. Ex-Sergeant Svuttsberry testified that on one occasion he preferred charges of being drunk in the station house against Police Captain Hedden and placed them, by order of Commissioner Voorhies, in the hands 0 Chief Clerk Hawley and that the case was never called for trial. Superintendent Wallin, geesienest ag to the complaint filed i leclared that he had never seen it. John W. Smith, ex-Superiptendent of the Second Avenue Railroad, testified that he tried to stop the pick- ing of pockets on the cars; he called upon Commis- sioner Charlick, who referred him to Superintendent Kelso; he sent Detectives Bennett and Symmonds to Stop it and suggested that 1 confer with the Captain of the Fourth precinet, whence the cars started; witness called upon Captain Thorne and officers were detailed for w few days, but as soon as the officers were with- was called and Stutteberry and drawn the pickpockets renewed their work; wit- ness finally, as a last resort, called at the corner of Hester street and tho Bowery A PICKPOCKETS’ RESORT, treated them freely and told them his object was to in- duce them to leave his road and work some other route ; the result was that he wag pot troubled any more with | complaints of robberies of passengers on the cars of the company.

William Martin, a young man aged twenty, who resides on the corner of Nineteenth street and First avenue, has fora long time past held the position ot confidential clerk to Mr. Francis Whiteley, whose place of business is in the building of the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Company, corner of Franklin and Centre streets. So great was Mr. Whiteley’s trast in his youthful assistant that he allowed bim full liberty | in the conduct of his business. Upon the unaccountabie loss of some thousands of dollars suspicions against the honesty of his employé, | Martin, took sudden form in Mr, Whiteley’s mind, and | he determined to call in the aid of the officers of the | law to assist him in unravelling what was to him a | mystery. Accordingly he went before a magistrate and | made complaint against Martin. A warrant was issued | for his arrest and placed in the hands of Officers Richard | O'Connor and Richard Fields, of the District Attorney's | office, who went to the place of business of Mr. White | ley yesterday afternoon and took Martin into custody. | The prisoner confessed that he was guilty of the crime charged against him, and described his modus operandi, He said he had been in the habit of going personally to receive the letters addressed to his em- ployer from the Post Office box. Some of these letters contained money orders, which he would surreptitiously take and eventually get cashed, appropriating the money obtained on them to hisown use, The amount derived from this syste- matic mode of robbery would, be said, aggregate be- tween $3,500 and $4,000, When his employer wrote to the parties requesting payment of the amount he (the prisoner) would intercept the letters on their way to the Post Office and destroy them, thus preventing dis- covery of his thievery. ‘The National Bank Note Com- pany, also Messrs.

Two unknown men entered the jewelry store kept by Frank Krodel, at No. 52 Nassau street, and while the salesman’s back was turned toward them they left, taking with them an opera glass worth $5. While James Wiley, of Rotterdam Springs, was stand- ing on West street, he was induced by an unknown man to bay two twenty dollar spurious gold pieces, for which in return he gave $40 in good money. The con- fidence man escaped.

THE JUDGE’S CHARGE, The Verdict and the Scenes in Court. ‘The trial of John Scannell, for the murder of Thomas Donobue, was resumed yesterday morning in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judge Barrett presiding. The rapidity and promptness with which it was conducted caused general surprise, and altogether the investiga- tion was marked by considerable smoothness. Ad- mirable order was preserved throughout, the arrange- ments by Mr. William Ricketts, the chief court officer, having proved very effective. There was no overcrowd- ing in the court room, nor were there any popular dem- oustrations from the beginning to the end, and, In- deed, the case had more the appearance of a civil in- quiry than that which usually appertains to a criminal investigation involving the life of o buman being. The prisoner arrived «in good season and during tne day maintained calm deportment, being permitted to retire while the counsel addressed the jury, returning when the Judge delivered the charge, His aged mother, wife and sis- ter were in attendance, and naturally took the deepest interest in the proceedings, which were quickly draw- ing toaclose, The court contained the usual number of spectators, but, as on preceding days, the corridors were thronged by many anxious to learn the priconer’s fate, The counsel on both sides were promptly on hand, and at the sitting of the Court the address for the prisoner was continued.

The impression prevailed that no con: clusion would be arrived at and that the jurymen would be locked up for the night, The court was accordingly soon emptied, few persons remaining even in the cor- ridors, At twenty minutes past seven intimation was given to the court officer that the jury had and this fact becoming known, the court was speedily filled, Asolemn stillness prevailed, and as the jurors filed into court the scene was exceedingly im ive, Judge Barrett took his seat on the bench at half-past seven o’clock, and the counsel occupied their usual places, Every voice was hushed. The prisoner maintained a calm and steady bearing, though his wife and other relatives trembled violently. their eyes and, indeed, the eyes of allin court being riveted on the men who were about to announce the fate of the pris- oner, When the jurymen were seated Mr. Sparks, the Clerk of the Court, called the roil, and every man ip the 377, box promptly responded to the call “Gentlemen of the jury,” said Mr, Sparks, ‘have You agreed upon a verdict?’ ij “We have,” said the foreman, in a clear and distinct tone, ‘An awful pause ensned when the Clerk said, “Gentle- men of the jury look upon tho prisoner, Prisoner look upon the jury. How say you, do youfind the prisoner gallty or not guilty?” Meanwhile both the jury and the prisoner had risen totheir feet, the latter sjanding up, and, with folded ‘arma, intently gazing on Judges. He was not de- pressed, ine Sey and awaited the verdict with sur- prising calmness. “Not guilty,” promptly responded the foreman of the jury, and following tho announcement was a hearty round of applause throughout the court room The risoner’s immediately lighted up. He was em- feo by his wife, who shed tears of joy, while his sis- ter became almost uncontrollable in her emotions, A complete transformation ensued and the joyous @emonstration was shared by nearly all in court. That of Dr, Parsons, and quoted his elaborate definition of | the verdict was unexpected was plain from the general insanity as bearing on the present case. He submitted that the mysteries of the mind could not readily be fathomed; neither cou!d any infallible judgment be ap- plied to explain its various and singular manifestaions Counsel laid particular stress on Dr. Parsons’ test!- mony, and alluded to the remarkable change which had taken place in the character, actions aud appear- ance of the prisoner after the shooting of his brother, If the physicians concurred in pro nouncing the prisoner insane at the time of the shoot ing of Donohue the jury had bat one duty to perform. In this case there was no sudden or tem- porary exhibition of feigned insanity, it extended over acomparatively long period, in fact, ever since the shooting of the brother of the prisoner, Counsel then proceeded at considerable length to discuss the pecull- arities which marked the actions of a monomaniac, A man might be intellectual, reasonable and even o genius, and yet on one subject he might be a lamenta- ble lunatic, He quoted several cases in support of his argument, and submitted that, in accordance with a re- cent decision of the Court of Appeals, if the prisoner at the bar had committed the crime with which he was charged in a moment of frenzy or manta he not only could not be convicted of murder in the first degree, but could not be convicted at all The learned counsel, after citing several cases in sup- port of the theory he advanced in support of the pris- oner’s insanity, dwelt at length upon the love which had existed between the Scannell brothers, and alluded to the effect which the shooting of Florence bad upon the mind of the prisoner. He denounced as falso and malicious the reports that had gone abroad to the effect that Florence Scannell bad been shot by the hand ot It was little wonder that, in view of al] the aggravating circnmstances, the mind of John Scannel) should finally give way, and that his reason should be dethroned. Counsel also submitted that it Polat ay be inferred that when Scannell heard the ex- pression of Donobue in the pool room on the nightof the shooting, ‘‘Come on, John,” he acted in self-defen as he had reason to apprehend injury at the hands o Donohué. Mr, Beach finally made a most eloquent and pathetic appeal on behalf of the prisoner, and brought his remarks to a close at half-past one e’clock, when the Court took the usual recesa, AVTER THE RECESS, District Attorney Phelps replied for the prosecution in a masterly address. le warned the jury to banish from their minds all prejudice in the case and to con- fine themselves solely to the fact whether the prisoner, in committing the act which it was admitted he did, was responsible to the law. There were two defences; first, that he perpetrated the deed in self-defence, an again, that he was insane when the shooting took place, The District Attorney disputed these points at length, and proceeded to discuss the question of insanity. Rage, revenge, violent indulgence in passion or the surrender of a man’s whole being to some more fixed or infernal purpose, rushing on regardless of law or conscience, were not even indications of insanity, All the proof for the defence amounted to nothing more than that after bis brother’s death the prisoner, while attending to his ordinary pursuits, was not so cheerful and companionable, but somewhat moody, irritable and occasionally rude; and it would be ver} surprising ff he did continue cheerful. As to the self defence theory, why did Seanne! put four ballets into Donohue? ‘hy did he run away and throw his pistol away? Why didn’t he declare he was an innocent man and only fired in self-defence? A murder more bloody has rarely stained the annals of our jurisprudence, aud it was for the jury to challenge it, and to say whether the principle of the vendetta was to be established in our midst. in conclusion, the District Attorney called upon the jury to weigh the evidence carefully and to render their verdict according to that alone, JUDGE BARRETT’S CHARGE Judge Barrett pecrenses to charge the jury shortly before five o’cloc! He said it now remained for him to close the debate as to the guilt or innocence of the risoner. The jury were notto think because the law ad been disct jn addresses to them that they were the Judges of the law. That must be taken solely from the Court’ To the jary was attached the respon- sibility of tne verdict, but it must be rendered in ac- cordance with the facta presented and the law bearing on the case. The law must come from the Court, The duty of the Jury was to mote out justice. Judge Bar- rett then continued as tollows:—‘“We are not sitting here asa Court of mercy or for the purpose of deal- ing out anything but impartial justice; and whatever there may be in the or whatever may have been said that would tend to warp your judgmen ow have nothing to do with in this temple o! jentin; nor have you anything to do with popu- lar prejudice or passions, On the other hand you have nothing to do with the sympathy which may ro- sult from the sad ap; ces of the friends and rela- tives of the prisoner, These matters must be left en- trely out of your consideration. The law deals merci- fally with prisoners on trial The Jaw itself ts mercy. It requires, before any man can be placed on trial, that he shall be indicted by a grand jury our citizens as 4 preliminary to any trial. After he is surronnedd by the safeguard of the benignant principle of tho resumption of innocence until his guilt is fally estab- Fished. He has the right to. and dos obtain an tmpar. tal and unbiased ju selected with the greatest care tnd consideration. ite has the right by law to set | aside thirty jurors who may seem perfectly fair by his mere will and to be confronted with the witnesses against him and to cross-examine them, and also to compulsory process to procure his own witn: to counsel of his own selection and to the benefit of that other benignant rule, that guilt must be estab- lished beyond any reasonable doubt, and, finally, he is entitled to ananimity on the part of the twelve men sitting in judgment on him. It seems to ost impreg- nablo bulwarks, sufficient almost always to shield the innocent, but these safeguards aro intended as a shield to the innocent, not as a dark avenue of ere for the guilty, Wo must see to it that they are upheld as a protection to the weak and a shield to the innocent; and, on the other hand, see to it that no guilty person escapes in the tortuous mazes of the forms of the law, Their purpose is wholesome, wise and just, but their object is not laxity In administration or doubtfulness in result, but precision, accuracy and certainty before punishment is inflicted, It may be asked, thon, what does society relyon? She throws these safeguards alike around the guilty and the innocent; the vilest criminal is entitled to their benefit. A person caught red handed in the most heinous crime, the midpight assassin, the person caught pouring poison imto a cup for another, aro entitied to these forms and to this presumption of innovence, until the crime is proved, and to the benefit of a reasonable doubt; and society relies upon, and its sole reliance ison the honesty, jntelligence, fair-mindedness and firmness of ite Juries. The inteliigence, impartiality and fair minded- nese of the Jory, whilo a protection to the innocent ai aiso a sword of justice to the guilty. Therefore, you see that your duties aro responsible. If you, jurors, are weak, {t is soon known in ‘the purlieus of vice and the haunts of crime; and if yoo are strong and intelligent and firm it ts equally well known, and we cannot tell bow much the purity ana Se haar of character of our jurors tend to keep back the waves of vice and crime and sus tain the bands of justice. Now, gentlemen, you have a very serious task before you. You understand your duties. You bavo the life of @ fellow man in your hands, You have no right to find him guilty unless his guilt is clearly established. He is entitied to the sumption of innocence and to reasonable doubts of his pail. The Judge here explained the meaning of reasonable doubt, and said if the prisoner intended to take the life of Donohue be was guilty of murder in the first degree, If the jury had no reasonable doubt that the prisoner intended to take life he was guilty of murder in the first degree unless they were satisfied on the evidence that the prisoner was not responsibamfor his acts. As to the justification theory, the Judge said that if Scannell had a reasonable tear of great and imminent danger from Donohue, and that he could not safely fy, the killing was justifiable, even if it should appear to the jury that Donoh did not intend to ki, The Judge then reviewed the evidence as to Donohue cry- im 1, “Come on John," and asked the jury to con- si ether atter the first shot, when Donohue lay prostrate, Scannell could reasonably apprehend vio him, On the matter of the medical ex manifestations, Order ba de sat ta restored, “This disgraceful performance,” said Judge Bar- rett, “a very disgraceful performance Indeed, and can- not be permitted in a court of justice. The court off- cers will see that proper de¢orum be observed.” But the delight of the prisoner's relatives was seem- ingly boundless, although he himself did not exhibit any particular symptoms of gratification. Turning t© the jury, Judge Barrett said, “The law compels me to inquire whether this verdict has been rendered on the ground of the prisoner's insanity ?”* ‘The foreman of the jury—It 1s. Judge Barrett—You find John Scannell innocent om the ground of insanity? The foreman—Yes, sir. Judge Barrett—Then the Court remands the prisoner to ascertain whether he is still laboring under insanity, and on Wednesday morning next the question may be determined. Mr. Peter Mitchell (of counsel for the prisoner)—That will meet the approval of the counsel for the prisoner, Your Honor, ee ee then discharged the jury and left the ne Scannell’s numerous friends in court immediately rushed toward him and grasped his hand, the eyes of all bis relatives being suffused with tears, His sister ‘went almost into Syeiazice and altogether the scene was memorable in the annals of the Court, Scannell was scoprapnnieg to the Tombs bya large number of persons, w! every stop showered their congratula- ons upon him The result of the trial caused general surprise, RUN OVER ON THE RAIL — Aman named Peter Jackson while picking coal on the Erie Railway, near Paterson, was strack by a loco motive, which ran over him, severing a Jeg and an arm and fracturing his skull He was conveyed to Paterson in a dying condition.
