I i "(SI Paying and ReceivingTeHers Stols $60,000. MONEY LOST IN STOCK GAMBLING Receiving Teller Confessed to Presi dent of Bank, and Is Assisting In Investigation—Both and Trusted Employes. New York, Nov. 16. —Defalcations, amounting, it is claimed, to $60,000, have been discovered in the accounts of the Williamsburg Savings Bank, an institution conducted at Williamsburg, iu the suburbs of Brooklyn. General J. V. Meserole, the president of the b;ink, is authority for the statement That the parties implicated in the af fair are Harry E. Corbett, a former paying teller of the bank, who died November 2, and George Zoninhofer, a. receiving teller, who, it is alleged, gave the first information leading to the discovery. The bank ia fully protected, it is said, by the bonds of Corbett and Zollin hofer. Harry Corbett had been in the employ of the bank for 18 years. He was looked upon as a man of exem plary habits, and not the slightest sus picion attached to him up to the time of his death. According to General Meserole, on Friday of last week George Zoilin hofer, one of the receiving tellers, went, to Cashier William Burns and con fessed to him that he (Zollinhofer) and Corbett had for the past two or three years taken funds from the Institution for the purpose of stock gambling, an.l hat so far as he could estimate the amount that had been lost was be tween $50,000 and $60,000. Cashier Burns had Zollinhofer repeat his cou ■ ess ion to Presideut Meserole, and a meeting of the trustees of the bank lollowed. The examination was not. concluded that day, nor is it yet con cluded, but irregularities enough were found to show that Zollinhofer had not exaggerated the extent of the defalca tion. Zollinhofer, after making his con fession, placed himself in the hands of the trust company and is aiding them in their investigation of the books. He was, with one exception, the oldest employe of the bank, having been with the institution for 33 years, lie is 60 years old. Corbett died in his apartments in Brooklyn of pneumonia on November 2.

His: hands and head shook perceptibly, | and when before the bar he had to i liold onto tiie railing to steady liim- > self. The attorney called the atten tion of the court to Wheeler's condi tion and requested that ho be sent to Bellevue Hospital, where ho could be under the care of his private physi cian. He further said that for a month past Wheeler had been constantly at tended by a private nurse, who knew much about tho alleged attempts on his part to raise money on the notes. Magistrate Cornell said that he felt very sorry for the prisoner and that he thought he was in need of medical care, and on the statement of the de tective that he could be attended by his doctor at police headquarters he sent him back there.

I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years aj;o my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, apd even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidenially in a New York paper, and ordered your treat* ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily aud beg to remain Very truly yours, F. A. WKRMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
