Bond, Until Next Term
Court.
A little leu than one tear and fire
month ago, or to be anenatte, on Aug
lit 1903, Thoi W. Dewey euhier of the
Farmen & Merchant! Bank of New
Bern, quietly left thla city, leavings
shortage in the bank of which ha waa
eubier, estimated at that time from
$100,000 to $140,000 and forcing the
bank to go Into liquidation. In Decern
ber of 1908 the atoekholderi of the bank
wblch Mr Dewey bad forced Into llqui
dation paid every cent that wai due to
depositors cf the bok.
Within a few daya after Mr Dewey's
flight from this city, the atoekholderi
offered a reward of $1,00) and the State
$400 (or h'a apprenhenaioa and delivery
o the proper anihoilties. Nothing re
sulted from the offering of these rewards
Mr Dewey's whereabout! being unknown
except to a tew intimate friends. Several
mesdmlngthe ptst year Mr Dewey
has been seen by peraona who recognized
im In California, and Texas, but in for
mal ion from those who uw 1dm reached
here days aad weaka afterwards, which
gave him ample opportunity to effect a
hanee of residence. Within a few
weeka the Journal published an ac
count of a i'ew Bernlan having met Mr.
Pewey In Ban Aotonlo. Tex., under the
ame of Baron Von Weber. Tbla re-
pott waa given wide circulation, Mr
Dewey making 8a a Antonio hie resi
dence for but a short while thereafter.
Ltely pspers have pasted between Mr
Dewey and his fliendi In thla State,
wtioh gave in'imalioa to thoae who
were In confidence, that the matter of
his retarn was of but a abort time. From
these private Intimations grew rumors
and reports, which developed Into tbe
practical certainly, that Mr Dewey was
in North Carolina, and culminated la
bli appearance In Ooldsboro on Thurs-
ight Dec. S2nrln only a few friends
teeing him ou that night The report
of bli return caused considerable ex
citement on Thu'eday, in both Oolds
boro and New Bern, the prevailing
sentiment seemed to be that Mr Dewey
was not the man to relnra and slve hum-
sen inu eiiwooy, w nuw ij ieclaru
while it wai poetiDia lor mm 10 escape.
A phoae message received heie yestrr
dsy morning gave tbe pabl'e the Drat
confirmslioa tliatT W Dewey was both
a North Carolina and oa bla way to
New Bern to larrander klmsslf to the
sheriff of tkls eooaty.
When ih, bbv Ply arrival here yes.

him back to answer the charges brought
against kirn, sad I ssk that only such a
bond be required to be given, si shall
bring him to cotrt lam willing to
leave the amount of the bond to the
eonrt for I know that it will ask only a
just sad reasonable one."
Mf. (jlulon The Sheriff could under
tbe capias have fixed the amount of tbe
bond, bat he said he did not like to name
It. ihsieuked the solicitor over the
phone as to hii ideas of the amount, aad
he has sugguted $60,000 and $25,000.
He thought the ability of the friends of
Mr Dewey was ample to provide inch
bonda. Mr Dewiy had returned volun
tarily, but he did not know the object of
inch a return. He had heard the opin
ion that the return was made became of
fear of strut with , bit compuliary re-
tarn In s short time,
Mr Danleli It had been Mr Dewey's
intention to return voluntarily from the
time he left. It wu not tbe fear of ar-
rut which brought him back, but he felt
be had dutlei at home. Neither the
State or the bank directors bad paid any
money for his return. I never have
heard of such amounja as the solicitor
asks, they Mem unusual and excessive.
Mr Dewey may have friends who will
give tbe bonds, but that is not tbe con
sideration. The purpose of the bond Is
to bring him to court and he was pre
pared to give such bond In reasonable
amounts.
The Court expieued Itself that the
bonds asked for by the solicitor were
too much.
Mr Daniels said lie would be satlrUed
With any reasonable amount of bonds
the court wonld fix, Tbe court gave an
opinion that bonds of tlO.OOO and
000 were sufficient, the same to be Ju sti
fled. air Daniels tbereupo i offered sj Mi
Dewey's bondtmrn Mr F K Borden, Mr
Chaa Dewey, Mr Ernest Dewey and Mr J
L Borden of Ooldsboro who were ac-
oepUd, and bonda duly executed.
The court judgment against T W Dew
ey is $110,640.00.
Mr Dewey as he appeared here waa aa
nanal quietly and ceatly attired. His
manner wu compoetd and far lets ner
vous than It wu when he was here laat,
He lookl to be twenty-live pounds hear
ler. Hie face Is quite sun burnt and his
eyes give the appearance of a man con
stantly on tbe outlook. In regard to the
Indictments against him be would ssy
nothing, except that la court they would
be brought up. As to Incidents connect
ed with his various journeylngs he wu
not at all ret leant He was perfectly
posted la regard to everything published
about kls doings. He bas traveled la
thirty states, but the greater part of his
time wu spent la Loe Angelas, Gal. Of
tke climate most
delightful, and while there but winter
bathed dally la the ocean. While In
California ha met three persona whom
be knew la all his traveling. He declar
ed ke need no dlrgnUu aad thought It
remarkable so few people reeogalud
him. Mr Dawey ei presses his apprecla-
lioa tor the eoealderatloa show a by tbe
paovli of New Beta oa kls raters aad
dertag kla abseaoa. It kad bean kls In-
teatloa froes tbe time be is ft to retarn
