While Cashier ot the Na. tional Bank of Asbe ville. Ninety-Six Counts in Bill of Indict-, ment. the Alleged Crime Discovered by Bank Examiners While Investigating Bank's Books in Connection With the Pnlliam Case. Special to the Gazette. Charlotte, June 14. The grand jury of the federal court this afternoon found a true bill of indictment against State Senator William J. Cocke, of AsheviHe,- alleging in a general way, embezzlement, abstraction and wilfull misapplication of funds while he was cashier of the National, Bank of Ashe ville nearly three years ago. The bill includes ninety-six counts. It is said that for a time Mr. Cocke had the per sonal use of a fourth of the funds of the banfl, and thait the failure of the bank may be attributed directly this fact. to The startling intelligence contained in the foregoing special to the Gazette will come in the nature of a surprise to the general Asheville public. At the time United States District Attorney A. E. Hoi ton, Edward I. Johnson, the New Orleans National bank examiner, and Fred A. Hull were instructed to make an examination of the books of the failed nati4nal bank, in making out a bill of indictment against Lawrence Pulliam, at one time cashier of JJie bank, the department of justice further directed those gentle men to make a full investigation of the transactions of the bank from1893 till, the close of the bank. In-Snaking this investigation certain evidences were found of illegal transactions aricT this fact was reported to the depart ment. After carefully considering ttie report District Attorney Holtot was or dered to draw up a bill of indictment against Mr. Cocke. This was done with the result as related in the Ga zette special. A capias was issued and placed in the hands, of United States Marshal J. M. Millikan with instructions that it be executed at once. Mr. Millikan, ac companied by Mr. Hull, Jeft immedi ately for Asheville; arriving In "this city at 1:15 o'clock "this morning. Mr. Cocke had been cashier of the National Bank of Asheville about six months when he was elected mayor' of city in May, 1896. Early in the winter of fTifli vsar Mr. Cocke resigned as cashier, and was succeeded by W. B Williamson. MR. COCKE ARRESTED. Mr. Cocke was arrested at 4 o'clock this mornine: at his home in Woodfin street by Marshal Millikan, who was Laccompanied by Captain Jordan, of the police. The arrest and indictment was apparently a great surprise to him. As the Gazette goes topress efforts were being "made, which will probably prove successful, to secure the $15,000 ball required.
