ClNCINNATI, Nov. 2O.-The experts
who have been working with Receiver
Tucker on the books Of tho German
National bank at Newport. KY, esti-
mate the alleged shortage Of Frank M.
Brown, the missing assistant cashier
and individual bookkeeper, at $l0l, 800.
According to reports from persons who
were with Brown when he left last
Tuesday night he had less than $500
with him. Browns salary was only
$500 year. His bond for 5000 is
good. United States District Attorney
Hill will arrive from Paducah to take
charge of the case. 1t is expected he
will cause several arrests.

last Saturday $2OU. 900 was obtained in
Cincinnati to bridge over the trouble.
This was returned aud Receiver Tucker
had other moneys and papers also
transferred from Cincinnati.
Brown evidently had wonderful
memory. The experts said he carried

him to call of correctly false entries in
q way t. mlslead the clerks who were
doing the "checking' with him. A

in one book and enter it as 500 in an.
other. Then when it came to checking
up he would handle one of the books.
Another clerk would choc': and
Brown would call off. Instead of call
ing off 500, which appeared as the
amount of the deposit on tho book
which he was handling, he would call
it as $3, 100, thus making it correspond
with the book in the hands of the other
clerk. He also. it is alleged, worked it
in another way. A depositor would
draw out 500. Brown would make
the proper entry in one book and enter
$3, 100 in another. When tho depositor
had his accounts checked up the
figures wore taken from the book
in which the current entry had been
made. When the bank officials looked
to see what amount was due tho de-
positors they were then given their in
formation from the books which showed
that SIS, l0O had been withdrawn.
Brown had me1norized all the iudi-
viducl accounts, and the experts find
no private marks Of any kind Oh the
books. The general ledger balanced
with the cash. 1t is generally believed
Browns first shortage started acct
dently with IN error OF 81 900 in the
individual accounts.
