tx CASHIER PuLLIAM
AFTER FIVE YEARS ABSENCE He RETURNS
TO STAND TRIAL.
Cashier Of the Asheyle National Bank, he
Left Short in His Accounts With S.
900 of The Banks Money.

Greensboro, n. c., Feb. 24.-{SpeciaL)
United States Marshal Milliken arri-
we'd here last night with Lawrence Pul,
liam, ex-cashier of the National bank of
Asheville. who gave himself TO 10 the
authorities i'm San Francisco, Cal.
The United States marshal from Cali
fornia turned him over to Marshal Mil
aiken. Pulliam, it wil be remembered,
left Asheville five years ago with his
accounts short, taking with him s., 900,
which he should have sent off by cx-
press. He had not been heard from
until he surrendered to the authorities.
He had spent all of the $1,000 and dbl
not have enough to come home on.
Those who knew the Lawrence Pulliam
of five years ago failed ito recognize the
miserable looking man who was placed
in jail here last night.
The ex-cashier refuses to say much
for himself. He says, however, that he
will probably be able to give the $4,000
bail which is required of him.
