THE NEWS IN BRIEF Another Bank Defalcation. Cashier Abbott of the Dover, N. H., National Bank Shot Himself After He Was Found to be a Defaulter to the Amount of $80,000. The bank defalcation epidemic struck the city of Dover, N. H., Monday. During the morning it was announced that Isaac F. Abbott, cashier of the Dover national bank, was a defaulter in the sum of $80,000. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and before the people had recovered from the astouishment, came the announcement that the cashier had taken his life in his beautiful home on Arch street, by shooting himself through the heal with his revolver. The discovery of the defalcation was made by Bank Examiner Dorr, who began an examination of the bank Friday. He asked Mr. Abbott certain questions which the cashier said he would explain the next morning. When the examiner came again Saturday morning it was found that the safe could not be opened, and Mr. Abbott failed to appear. He was at home, and stated that he would explain all on Monday. The refusal of the cashier to say anything was brought to the attention of the bank officials, and Examiner Dorr at once declared Abbott a defaulter. District Attorney A. A. Branch of Manchester and United States Marshal Campbell were at once telegraphed for to place Abbott under arrest, but they did not arrive until after the cashier's death. It is hinted that Abbott made his first inroad on the bank's money to help out a friend. The first suspicion that Mr. Dorr had of the defalcation was the discovery of a note for $10,000 among the bank's resources, signed "M. Nelson." The name of Mr. Abbott's young housekeeper is Miss Mertie Nelson, and it was her signature, it is alleged, that appeared on the note. Mr. Abbott was also cashier of the Five-cents savings bank of Dover, and was city treasurer. The depositors will lose nothing, but their money is tied up. State Bank Commissioners Lyford and Hatch have taken charge of the savings bank. Mr. Abbott's two sons and his daughter were at home when the fatal shot rang out. Mr. Abbott had been cashier of the bank 20 years, and before that was connected with it in a minor capacity. He lived in a house that cost $30,000, but it was built with his wife's money. He was a member of the Baptist church and was never known to gamble. Later---The Savings Bank Involved. The Five Cents savings bank of Dover is also involved in Cashier Abbott's criminality, and it is thought that the depositors will lose 50 per cent of their money. J. E. Hall has been appointed receiver of the bank. It is supposed that Abbott at first robbed the savings bank and that the embezzlement from the national bank was made to cover up the deficit. The depositors in the savings bank are people employed in mills and they will feel their loss keenly. It is difficult for the bank examiner to find out the exact condition of the two banks, as Abbott destroyed the books containing evidence of his guilt. Nation's Cereal Crops for 1894.
