EX-BANK HEAD ACCUSED E. F. Galbreath Arrested for Misapplication of Funds. Cincinnati, May 2.-E. F. Galbreath, expresident of the Second National Bank, of this city, was arrested here to-day by a United States marshal on the charge of misapplication of $33,000 of the funds of the bank. The bank was recently discovered to be in an embarrassed condition, and is now being operated by members of the Cincinnati Clearing House Association, with a new set of officers in control. Galbreath was taken before United States Commissioner Adler. He pleaded not guilty and waived examination. Bond was fixed at $15,000. The arrest of Galbreath came as a development of the investigation of the Second National Bank by R. W. Goodhart, a federal bank examiner, several weeks ago. Goodhart found that the entire surplus of the institution was gone, and that the capital stock would be eaten up in protecting depositors. According to financiers familiar with the affairs of the Second National Bank, one of the chief causes of its troubles was the loaning of a sum, said to be nearly $600,000, on stock of the Ford-Johnson Company, a furniture and chair making concern, which had contracts for convict labor at many state penitentiaries. This security, it is said, deteriorated, particularly after the company was thrown into the hands of a receiver. Just prior to the Clearing House taking charge of the Second National the bank was compelled to charge off the amount of the loan from its surplus. Then other paper was rejected and directors were called on to take up other loans held by the bank. The Ford-Johnson paper also figured in the embarrassment of the Cincinnati Trust Company, of which George B. Cox was president. The trust company was taken over by the Provident Savings Bank and Trust Company several months -ago.
