The account by Daniel Worley as Secre-
tary of said Board from and after April
l3. 1870 to December 5. 1870 shows A
Balance ON Deposit April Is. 1870 in Saw
ings Deposit Bank of $775 IA. An over
draft in First National Bank April Is. 20
of $2334.6l. The discrepancy of 35 Cents
in favor of said Savings Deposit Bank re-
ferred to in the account of said Schefer,
the Trustees are chargeable with. D.
Worley claims that in regard to the status
of the Finances IN the lst National Bank
April Is. 1870, he received written state
ment from that Bank of an overdraft of
$233461, which statement 10 before the
Committee, when in fact the Books of said
Bank show an overdrait April Is. 1870 of
$2331.36, consequently the mistake is at
tributable to said Bank.
On examining the Ledger of said Trus-
tees Mr.. Worley charged said Trustees
with a Balance Of Deposit on hand April
Is. 1870 in Savings Dep. Bank $273809
when in reality the balance then on De-
post IN said Bank was only $775.74.
Charging said Trustees with $l962.35
more, than was actually on Deposit April
Is. 1870. The Books of said Saw. Deposit

the sum Of $775,74 was on deposit as
stated.
