President Digrion's confession was made at a special meeting of the board of directors held on Saturday evening and continued yesterday and all of last night. In addressing his fellow directors, President Bigelow said he had a pain ful statement to make-a confession that he had misdirected the funds of the bank, and that an examination of his books and a comparison of Agures would show that he was indebted to the bank to the amount of over $1,450,000 This money, he said, had been lost in speculation in 'wheat sad stocks. Not a dollar of it could be recovered and the only sum be could offer to wards compensating the bank were personal securities valued at approximately $300,000

The confession of President Bigelow astounded the directors of the bank. Bigelow had been recognised as one of the city's fore moit financiers for many years. He has been associated with the First National Bank in various capacities for more than fifteen years, and his business connections-trust companies, manufacturing concerns io calate deals and other similar vertu er-sumber scores. He was honoured a year ago by election to the presidency of the American Bankers' Associa tion, and by its members was looked upon as a leader in financial matters.

In making his statement to the directors of the bank, Bigelow said he had been laro'ved in speculation several months ago This was in Wall Street. Later he had been a persistent "bull'in the wheat market, and recent losses there had added to the beavy reverses on Wall Street. From mali manipulations of the bank's funds be had extended the defalcations until his shortage had reached the present stage, He saw no opportunity nor possibility of making up the amount, and therefore con fessed.

It is stated that the meeting of the directors, which was almost continuous for thirty-six hours, was stormy at times. Several plans were suggested for protecting the interpts of the

bank. One was to accept the resignation of the President, permit him to go to Europe and the directors me good the amount of his shortage. This woul effectually protect the bank. The proposal met determined oppor tion from directors who demanded that the defaulter be punished. The plan to make up The shortage was then approv. d. Bigelow was removed from the pres dency of the bank and the case was referred to the Federal authorities.

I will be ready to go with you at once," said the banker, Then he kissed his wife an affectionate farewell and left with the officer, the two walking to the Federal building, where a Court Commissioner was in waiting. None of Bigelow's friends was in Court during the brief proceedings.

When the resolution was adopted removing Mr. Bigelow from the presidency of the bank, Henry Goll, assistant cashier, was also re- moved. The removal of the assistant cashier was due to the statement of President Bigelow that he was aided by Goll in concealing the shortage in the bank's accounts.
