WILLIAM C. GILMAN, Jfte Causes which Produced His Down fallAffecting Scenes in Court Bis Final Departure for Sing Sing for . , Five Yurs New York Tress Dispatch ; Win. C. Gilinan, the former of insurance scrip, indicted by the grand jury on the 11th, surrendered himself on the 12th, and appeared before Recorder Hackett, where lie pleaded guilty and was nentenci'd to tive year.s in state prison. Ciil .raan's counsel read a statement in extenuation in which Gilinan says the decline in business, b.id inest jments, heavy expenses, both busi--neas and domettic, and personal extravagance HAD BETRAYED HUr. lie loved better to give away mon ey than to spend it on himself. His thoughts and interests were more with charitable works. He hunt-elf was to blame lor his expenses .at home and in buiness. His wife aiever persuaded him to any ex travagance. From the time he be .gan busiuess he had placed in his iiands by lriends who trusted him implicitly sums ranging trom $100 to 2,000 on interest at 7 per cent. He never speculated or lost or won any money by any wager. He made investments in enterprises which promised well, butall turned -out bad. Long possession of money of his friends made him look upon it as his own, and the losses and ex pense causedeucroaehments upon it. Times grew worse. The failure of the Sun Montreal Insurance Com jpaiiy aad the NECESSITIES OF OTHER COMPANIES insured confidence in everything except the Atlantic, and competi tion for that had carried prices so high as to leave no margin for prof it, -and had made his commissions thoroughly inadequate to meet Abe seals of expense on which he was doing business and living. Prior to the panic of 1873 he had made improper use of trust funds, omder the pressure of declining business, and the trouble of that year had involved him in addition al bosses. After that time he must have put forth raised certificates. JBLe had suffered in thinking of his business, in abusing the confidence of his friends. Hoping that the aiext step would extricate him, he pluuged deeper and deeper. He .had not sold any fraudulent securi ties, but had borrowed on them. .He .alone was responsible for every wrong act, and no human being ever haa a suspicion of it. Suicide had been much in his thoughts. GILMAX'S STATE5IENT was addressed to his brothers and listers, who lose 875,000 by his op erations; to Rev. Dr. Houghton, liisJbrother in law,and rector of the "Little Church around the corner," And other friends. The scene in the Court was exceptional. The counsel who read the paper did so with a trembling voice. Air. Lane, who followed, was deeply affected, .and said Gilinan left his wife at liome on the verge of -insanity.. District Attorney Phelps, with tears coursing down Jiischeeks,aud with choking utterance, said ahe Aiad known the fnisoner, and tliib was the-saddet-l case he had ever .anything to do with.'' Recorder Hackett iu pat-sing sen- tenee1 was much affected and wiped away a tear. The detectives turn- .ed their backs to the tearful spec tacle, huiried Gilinan to tlae coaoU 4ii waiting a drove to his office, which lie has left as a convict for ;Sing Sing for a jterm of tive years .at hard labor. iSMerchajuts vishing the popular 'orvdit cheek" can purclrabetheni at The .A&ToftEay oce, at less than Chieapo jjiriee.
