that there was deficiency in his account OF from
$4,000 to $4,000. This the first intimatton the
officers had received. The treasurer states that
for the past three years he had repeatedly loaned
the funds OF the bank to Robert S. Webster who

State Bank Commissioners, requested that no por-

make an Official examination of the institution.
The officers further stated that they had In the
