A FIssscIERISG TRIcK-The n 7. Post is
responsible for the following anecdete of q Late
Wall Street Cashier We doubt the truth Of the
story:
We havs heard of bank story which is said to
relate to a time somewhat distant, and to q
bank within one hundred miles Of Wall street.
and which we report Just as we heard it. omit
fling names. The cashier of the bank found
himself short in his accounts about two hundred
Thousand dollars, att time when he foresaw an
inevitable disclosure fran an examination OF
accounts, which was ordered to take place
within short time. Not seeing any escape, he
consulted a friend of his who was an attorney
asking for his adEice. The attorney, en- ascer-
tanning that the cashier had no property that
deficiency. recommended him to take 600, 600
more, and then, when the discovery took place,
he would have something to negotiate with so
Ms to inance the directors to refrain from max
ing public exposure. The cashier took his
advice, distracted the additional sum. and when
the discovery taok place, confessed his error,
and told the directors that he would get his
friends TO make some amends, provided they
would not punish him. After some negotiation.
he compromised with them for 81 &C, GOO; and
he retired from his situation with a fortune of
$l0o,090 The cashier in question was con-
sequently respected, and he died, We believe,
wlthin the current year. The directors never
made known their loss, and neither the stock
holders Of the bank nor the public knew any
thing about it.
