an Investment of few hundred dollars Of

Thinking he could easily replace it. he
drew from the funds of the bank, covering
up his petty thefts by false ent-ies. Again
he lost and again he drew from the bank
the money of others. Thus the thing ran
on until day or two ago, when one of the
directors of the bank discovered check
