Sansational Bank Robbery.

£170,000 MISSING;

Considerable sensation was caused fn Liverpool on November 22nd by the' announcement that a clerk in the era- • jploymenl of the Bank of Liverpool bad. absconded, with defalcations •mounting to £170,000, which is aup posed to have been lout In betting, The clerk, whose name ia Thomas B Ooidie, ia a native of Lerwick, and! had baea in tha employ of the Bank for four years, AN INGENIOUS SYSTEM Mr Hope SimpsoD, manager of the Bink of Liverpool, has is«aed to the Press AdßOciafeion the following official statement *M° tha manner in which Qpadio perpetrated his enormous fraads on -the 1 Bank of Liverpool, Limited :—'• We hava ascertained that th.c total of the fraads on the Bank of Liverpool, Ltd, do not exceed the amount of ,£170,090 already announced. The process by which the fraad was accomplished was by the ledger clerlr, Goodie, who had become the tool of a knot of betting men in London and else where, sending to them forged cheques drawn upon an account kept with the Banks through which cheques for large amount, were not infrequent. He never came into contact; in «ny way with the cash or securities of the Bank, bat these cheques were pre sented through the Clearing House and London and Ooanty Banks, and ap pearing to-be In order, were paid direct to the banks which presented them. Qoatdie being in charge of the lodger containing this account, did nob debit' the cheques to the account, but by an ingenious system of fraud circumvented the daily check upon each separate transaction and the additional weekly audit, which weald otherwise haw brought these irregularities to light. In reply to questions, Mr Simpson said the first frauds, which were on a small scale, took place about 12 months ago. ■He was unable *t present to make & statement aa to how they were dis covered £100,000 DIBCOVBRED AND STOPPED. The result of enquiries in London hae been the discovery of £100,000 lodged in various names ia different banks, which, it is believed, is part of the proceeds of the frauds. Fay meat of the amounts has been stopped at the instance of the Bank of Liverpool. And in connection with them the Scotland Yard authorities arrested Richard Barge, a well-known boxer

At Bow Street on Norember 25tb f Mr D Rntzen bad before him Richard Barge (35), described »s a professions! boxer, of Brixtoo, who was charged on a warrant dated November 23 with having on or about October 25th last and 00 dlvere other days, feloniously Ottered, knowing the aatne to be forged bankers' cheques lor £9000, £7000, £9000, £30,000, and £31,000, with intent to defraud

Prisoner, who was neatly dressed in a blue terge lounge sait, appeared quite al Disease

Mr Wilson stated that his olient h id instructed faiaa that he bad a satisfac tory explanation of the charge Mr Abrahams explained tnat the Bank had beets victimised to the ex tent of Boma £170,000 by the £>rgeries of one of their bank clerks named Goadip, for whose arrest a warrant h*d been granted; A considerable portion of the proceeds of the forged cheques had been traced to certain parties, but at this stage he did not propose to atate who the parties were. Pare of the proceeds had (said Mr Abraham*) been traced to priaoner among other people, a portion of which bad been ofrausfcrred to another §0000116 which bad been opened in name of his wife; Mr Abrahams added that he w«a able to prove that large earns had b^en placed to prisoner's account at one of the London bunko, amonntirg a,]tr .gethsr to £18.589, £15,000 and £813 bed also been deposited in the name of prisoner's wife. There were certain other persona who were assoc 1 ™ sted with prisoner, and who appear to have received between them £90,000. Of tha*s amoant £80,000 had been traced,£2o,ooo of which had hoen dit-! covered in Liverpool. £100,000 of the whole amount had bpen stopped. MrDe Bo'zen remanded prisomr for a week, : SUICIDE OF BUSPKCTED AOOOhrr.ICS The Oentnl News eayg there has b»3n a rathfr sensational development directly connected with the fraads on the Bank of Liverpool. It is not without a certain element of mystery. A warrant was issaad for tho arrest of Mr Lanrie Matks, a wcllkncwn American bookmaker, who has been in business in London for a camber of years. The charge sgiinet him was s:mi!«r to that preferred againat the pogilist Dick Barge, now io castody, namely, that he had ottered cheques to a Urge amount knowing them to have bren forged, Mr M»rkij sent word to his friends from the Continent paying he w»a coming over to ', meet the chtrijep, and he pnve the time of his departure and probab'e arrival.

Insppct r Froest was sent down to Folkestone to meet the boat on which Mr Marks wts to htvo come by, bat failed to find htm amongst the passen gsre who hsd crodßnl from Bonlogne. On Inspector Froe»t opentng Marks's b»g he found a letter signed "Laario Marks," stating that the writer intended to commit suicide by jumping overboard from Iho vpbhp!, Among6t other things in th«» portmantean there w«b a cheque for £500 and £60 in gold.

Hardly a Spark of Life Left.

She Caae of Mrs. G. M, PEARCE.

(By « Local Reporter,}

In consequence of information re ceived, a reporter was despatched to No. 12 Avon-street, Christohurch, where Mrs. Catherine Mary Pearce resides. Spon taneous assent was given to the writer's application to make a report, which is given below for public perusal. " No," said Mrs. Pearce, " I have not the slightest objection to giving other sufferers Mie cue to the removal of their troubles. There are, I daresay, a great many people who do not know the right way to turn when, beset by physical affliction, so in order to assist them in that direction I will give you every de »il concerning my wonderful recovery from a serious complaint." " What was your particular trouble, Mrs. Pearce?"

" I will Btart right from the beginning, and then you will see how one ailment leads to another. I was in a dilapi dated state of health some time ago, and my energy was dying away fast. A feeling of restlessness and discontent took away all pleasure in life. There was a nasty taste in my mouth every morning, and I took a dislike to every thing in the way of eatables, although I had to take a little food sometimes bo keep myself going through the clay's duties. Every morsel of food which passed my lips lay undigested in ray stomach, where very distressing pains were situated. All day long I was drowsy ■ and disinclined to do anything in the house, and I gradually got so weak that my limbs fairly ached again. T was tormented to death with, awful sick headaches, which were* sometimes so severe that my eyes burneff and felt swollen. When I fell asleep I ex perienced unpleasant dreams, and awoke feeling just as tired and unrefreshed as when I went to bed. You can easily understand that with these afflictions \ altered greatly in appearance, my face having become pale and wan, and my body was emaciated beyond conception." " Was your nervous Bystem affected by your debilitated condition?" " That is just the important part that lam coming to. Yes. My nerves were greatly unßtrung and shattered by my complaint^ which, ultimately suc ceeded in making me a victim to neur algia. Sharp, darting pains attacked my face and travelled round my neck and head. I could not think of trying to work when these formidable par oxysms of agony were worrying the life out of me. No. I could only sit down and give way in helpless anguish and grief. It is quite bad enough when such shocking torture affects a person otherwise strong, but it is an awful calamity to befall a person with a wrecked constitution like mine was. The ight diet I used to take was now denied me, for my jaws felt too stiff and pain ful to move them." "Your rest was greatly interfered with, no doubt." • " I had no rest night or day. The only thing I could do was to toss and turn about in bod till morning, and then ,r.o through another day of misery and torture. For five weeks I was awake every night, with the exception of one, when I seemed to collapse entirely and fell into a heavy slumber. I was worn out and exhausted, and there was hardly a spark "of life left in me. All the medicines I took had not the slightest beneficial effect. It would have been far better if I had only drank water, as I then would have saved myself the unpleasantness arising from the ill-tast ing trash. The neuralgia troubles last ed close on eighteen months, and by then I gave up hope of being cured. But I read about a neuralgic patient whose complaint was mastered by Cle ments Tome, so I tried it myself and soon felt my pains were easing off by degrees, the maddening jerking agonies subdued, and I felt my nervous sys tem was'being, recuperated. Then the neuralgia was beaten and has not re appeared. Several more bottles of Cle ments Tonic cored my other ailments, and gave me perfect health. I ate and slept splendidly. After each do?e of Clements Tonic I felt soothed and invigorated, and if I know of anybody being sick I always recommend Clements Tonic as a medicine to be relied upon." "This interview will appear in the papers." " I hope so. However, you can pub lish these remarks in any way."
