The bureau also says that upon Mr..

shows that Mr.. Potter vas partner upon

b3okkeeper ard Mr.. Evans partners that
the account belonged to Mr.. EvAns and Mr.,
Potter jointly. although Mr.. Po;ter's name
i. not on the book and MIR. Evans in his
last letters denied it explicitly.
Within year Mr.. Evans stated that Mr..
Potter had no joint sccount Al d no tran

the loss taken by the bank upon this &C
count was abou. $500, 600 IL the bank
