The note teller. who has been in the
employ of the First National bank for
many years, is a defauIter TO a large

discovery was made by one OF the
banks employees q few days after the
completion OF the examination of the
bank by the United States examiners.
During the continuance of his pecula-

made by several district corps of eX-
aminers- representing the comptroller
department, all expert accountants,
and the bank has also had frequent in

developed any irregularities. The ag-

AIvord had been with the bank for
twenty years, and was one Of the most
trusted men in the institution His
stealings extended over a long period,
but no suspicion of the truth was
known until ten days ago, when he
sent word that he was i'll at his home
After he had been away for a day or
two the bank put experts at work and
some irregularities were found As
the experts developed deeper and deep
er into Alyord's books the extent OF the
theft began to dawn on the officers, I'M
til they were OVerXy med find that
il reached the enormous figure. of S709.-
000 Whether that sum is all that he
took is not known
1t has not yet developed how the note
teller was able to put his hands on so
much money, but one of the directors
said that AIvord was enabled to take
such a large sum because as note teller
he was in charge Of the mail. This he
opened every morning, and he had am
pie opportunity TO abstract notes,
drafts and checks. as well as money
Of course he had TO be especially skill

MRS. MOORE WINS.
Judge Walthal1 Finds She Is En-
titled to One Half the Property.

This morning in the district court
Judge A. Nj. Walthall delivered his
decision in the case OF Mrs. Sarah P.
NJ GORE VS.. Fitzg erald Moore, in favor
of the plaintiff, awarding to her one
half the property.
The findings of the court in matters
of law and fact, cover five typewriter
pages. The findings of fact are tbir-
teen in number. First, that plaintiff
and defendant were lawfully married
in the state of Texas in the year 1880;
second, that the marriage was dissolv-
ed by the district court of Ell PasO
county, on October 3, 1899, and that no
decree was made by the court as to the
division of the community property,
and no appeal was taken in the case.
The court also finds that at the time
of the divorce the defendant was
possessed OF property valued at $780,
500. This is itemized and includes
notes, cattle, real estate, personal
more than was admitted by the de-
PENDANT and some S44, 900 less than was
claimed by the plaintiff and that ali
this was community property; also that
Moore's liabilities amount to S37 200 all
of which we're com munity debts.
The agreement between the plaintiff
and defendant in regard to the prop
erty' according to the find find,
to the divorce and Ia null and
void. This decision is based both
upon the ground that the agreement
was signed and entered into prior to
the divorce, although not carried into
effect until after, aud the ground that
she was deceived to the amount and
value of the estate.
The court finds three conclusions of
law. First, that the agreement be
cancelled, second, that plaintiff and
defendant are each entitled to one half
that all the property is liable for all
the community debts.
Notice of appeal was Immediately
given by Patterson and Buckier the at
torneys for the defendant, Moore.
