DEFALCATION.

The following statement we copy from
the New Orleans, Crescent City Of 9Th
April:
.The recen, appalling overdrafts at the
State Bank have excited an investigation
a, the Bank Of louisiana, by which i, is
found that about $50, 900, some say $780,
600, are found missing. The search was
first indaced by the Cashier, MIR. Lever
ich, when it was found that MIR. Collson,
who is said 10 have beeu overdrawn $780,
600 at the State Bank, was the Discount
Clerk at the Bank of Louisiana. We are
not able. 10 say if any discrepancy occurs
in Mr.. .C's books, but it is certain that he
and the receiving teller of The Bank Of
Louisiana have absconded. The latter has
pocke,ed, it is stated, about $4,000. re-
ceived in two deposies on Friday and Sal.
urday last. One gentleman on Friday de,
po.iled $50, 600, and on Saturday well

Company Of Augusta" briefly submit
the following statements, aud although
many years have elapsed since the occur
rences and incidents took place, yet there
were so many circumstances ofmy lille IN
,imately connected with my employment
as an officer of that company, and the Pc
culiar situation in which | stood in its bu-
siness, that The transactions, still remain
vivid and fresh in my memory
On the first day Of January, 1915, my
duties as Cashier commenced. new set
of Books were opened aud kept on the
usual plan of books in other Banks. The
officers were then, VIM. E. Barnes, Book
keeper, John T. Lamar, Teller, and my.
selfCashier. The entries on the old books,
as made by Mr.. Downie, were transferred
TO The new books the property, as Capl-
aal stock, consisting ofthe Bridge over the
Savannah river; Bridge Row; Bridge
Bank, and lands in S. Carolina.
The tolls collected at the Bridge, were
invariably enteredin the cesh account, and
went to the increase orthe means for The
redemption Of Bridge Bills. The tolls in
1918, amounted 10 more than SIS, 600.
From the first of January, 1918, up to
the time the Bank stopped payment in
May, 1919, the Bridge Bank promptly re-
deemed its bills when presented, by ind''
viduals, with gold or silver coin. and when
presented by officers ofo'her Banks, which
was frequently done in large sums, they
were redeemed either in tho bills OF the
Bank presenting Them, or in specie. The
Bridge Ba1k at no time, whilst | acted as
Cashier, borrowed money from any Bank
whatever.
Twas present on the 9th Of May, 1919
when the Bridgde Bank stopped payment
the fact was announced by you to NUN
ber of persons present., demanding pay
meut oil Bridge Bills. You stated 10 then
most explicitly, lha; you had come bacl
into the concern with all you had, woult
use all your means and personal exerlions
to redeem every dollar of Bridge Bills II
circulation. Tina, the assets Of the Bank
the property of which had been pledged by
the company and your individual proper
ty, should be applied to the payment o
the bills, dollar Tor dollar, and you urged
them not 10 part with their bills al a sac
riicc, as all should be paid. The day al:
ter the Bank stopped payment you fur
pished me with about Sl5,OOO, to pay de-
posits, aud which was appropriated TO 'ha
object by the Teller.
/ was in Augusta for several months al:
ter the 24lh of May 1919, and know, lha
you devoted your money and means TO
considerable amount, in rcdeeming Bridge
Bills at par.
All the Bridge Bills which were on hant
at the time. the Bank stopped payment
amounting to about Sl75,0OO, were count
ed and burnt in my presence, few day
after the Bank failed,
ANY further inquiries you may think
proper 10 make, shall be chcerfully respon
