A queer feature Of the case is the revelation

But it argues a curious neglect of common pre-
cautions and unleasOning adherence to foolish
custom that thousands of dollars should have

were premature in some of their payments to
the absconding cashier tends still further to
complicate the matter. But the disclosure has
