Bank President Declares Nathan Vidaver Demanded $1500 a Month to Quiet Newspaper. NEW YORK. March 5. The charge that he agreed to pay $1500 to Nathan Vidaver, an attorney, last November, to bring about a cessation of newspaper at tacks upon the Hamilton Bank after Vidaver had said "he had no doubt he could tix it with Jackson to have the at tacks stopped." was made by William R. Montgomery, ex-president of the Ham ilton Bank, In an affidavit filed In the Police Court today. The affidavit was a part of -the com plaint against Vidaver. who was arrested yesterday on a charge of extortion pre ferred by Mr. Montgomery. Montgomery declares In his affidavit that newspaper attacks were stopped instantly upon his agreement to pay $1500 to Vidaver. Up to the time of his arrest yesterday Vidaver was one of State Attorney-General Jackson's special deputies. Montgomery declares In bis affidavit that for some time after his agreement to pay the $1500 he was repeatedly called upon by Vidaver and Moses Grossman, another attorney, concerning his neglect to pay the money; that he persisted in his refusal to pay the amount and that soon afterward a letter from Attorney General Jackson to District Attorney Jerome concerning the Hamilton Bank appeared in .the newspapers. Montgomery, In his affidavit, says: Two or three days before Frank White, the temporary receiver of the Hamilton Bank, issued the preliminary report on the affairs of the bank to the Attorney General, Grossman and his partner, Vor haus, met me in the office of Searing & Co., at No. 7 Wall street. I had told Grossman that Searing had advised me not to pay the $1300, and Grossman came over to argue 'the matter with Searing. Grossman stated to Searing and myself that I had placed him in a very embar rassing' position with Vidaver and had placed Vidaver in an embarrassing posi tion with the Attorney-General for my neglect to pay the $1500. Grossman tele phoned for Vidaver, and Vidaver came over to Searing's office in a few minutes. Vidaver told me that the Attorney-General's office believed that I was ''four flushing" about the $1500; that they be lieved I had been giving Vidaver a "con" game and that the people in the Attorney General's office were pretty hot about it. He said to us that he could not hold them off any longer, and until I put up the money he would not be responsible for what was said about me and the Hamil ton Bank 'in the newspapers."
