HOLD-UP CAME IS CHARGED
NEW YORK OFFICIAL ACCUSED
OF BLACKMAIL.
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."
