Eatber McMa&cn Became a Director
In the El Fated Fidelity Foal
ing Company and Sor
rowed Large Suss.
Cleveland, O., April L The ILev.
"William McMahon, pastor of St Bridg
et's Catholic church find editor of tbe
Catholic Universe, filed a Toluntary
petition In bankruptcy in the United
States court, attributing his ruin to
dealings with Patrick J. Kieran. In
tbe petition his total liabilities are
stated to be 9L59L1IL with assets ag
gregating $7507. of which $71300 is
real estate. The secured claims amount
to $944923, unsecured claims $37L207
and commercial paper $1834418.
Father McMahon became a director
of the Fidelity Funding company of
New York, founded by P. J. Kieran,
which now is in the hands of receiv
ers. He borrowed large sums, and bis
same was signed to many of the pa
pers issued by the company, for which
be now is held liable by tbe receivers.
The petition enumerates many notes
signed by Father McMahon. They are
held mostly by Xew York, Pittsburg
and Cleveland lianks.
Among the larger secured claims
cited are: Carnegie Trust company.
New York, S2SL255.73; Guarantee Tide
and Trust company, Pittsburg, S1S5,
000; Society For Savings, Cleveland,
$235,000; Third Xational bank of Buf
falo, $3300.
Included in tbe secured claims as
filed by the petitioner are liabilities
held by almost every banking Institu
tion of prominence in the city of
Cleveland and similar Institutions in
Boston, Xew York, Pittsburg, Syra
cuse and Buffalo. ,i
The petition enumerates a score or
more of notes signed by Father Mc
Mahon, which are the basis of claims.
The dates on many of these are not
given, but Father McMahou admits
his responsibility both as maker and
lndorser and includes them in bis in
Teatory of liabilities.
Father McMahon came first into
dose contact with Kieran In Novem
ber, 1303. The latter was then the
moving spirit in the Reliance Life In
surance company and the Fidelity In
surance company, both of which were
operated from Buffalo.
The friendship between the priest
and the financier grew to such an ex
tent that the former signed or in
dorsed the notes which are now held
against him and at the time of the
failure of the Fidelity Funding com
pany was one of the board of direc
tors. When the Kieran crash came in De-
ceniber last Father McMahon's deal-1
ings were supposed to extend only to
the reorganization of the Euclid Ave-1

Hoboken, X. J- April 1. All the de
tectives of Hoboken are at work on
the viaduct dynamiting case, following
up a clew that is confidently expected
to result in important arrests. 1
That tbe vandals who attempted to '.
wreck the $1,000,000 structure design

with the work in progress is proved
by the fact that they chose a spot for
their terrible work that was removed
from espionage of the guards employ

an enormous charge of dynamite with
a slow burning time fuse attachment.
Tbe police say that labor trouble Is
behind the outrage. The building of
the viaduct was begun two years ago.
It is a steel structure, nearly half a
mile long, connecting Hoboken with
West noboken, over a wide area of
sunken meadows.
McCllntoek Jc Marshall of Pittsburg,
