EYE GLANCE STARTS RUN Bank In New Jersey Has Disastrous Time as Result of Careless Wink. NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A wing that was not caught. started the run on the Mechanics' Trust company, of Bayonne, N. J., which lasted three days. The winker, detectives learned last night, was Henry Verm, who the day the run began, stood in the street joking with James Shannon and John Devanny, of No. 81 Hobart avenue, Bayonne, John Nevins, of No. 14 Siffon street, joined the group. "Sure, the bank is busted." said Devanny. "Glad I haven't any money there!" Shannon did have money there and he couldn't see the joke. His face fell and Verm says he winked at Nevins, who also looked serious, meaning by the wink to say it was all a joke on Shannon. Nevins did not catch the quick closing of Verm's eyelids, and soon he was busy repeating the story he had heard, that the bank was insolvent. It travelled like wildfire and in half an hour Constable Hook as wel as Bayonne was aflame with it. When the rumor was running through the Hook, Thomas Bull, thinking to discredit it, called up John Muller, a Bayonne saloon-keeper, asking him if it were true. Muller had not heard, and he called up other saloons. In this way the alarm spread. Those immediately concerned in starting the rumor, which caused so many poor depositors to lose their interest, will be arraigned this morning before Recorder Lazarus. A charge of malicious mischief will be made against them.
