CARRIED FIGURES IN HEAD

Cincinnati, O., November 19.-The eX- perts who have been working to-day with Receiver Tucker on the books of the Ger man National Bank at Newport Ky, place the shortage of Frank M. Brown, the missing assistant cashier and individual book-keeper at $191,5OO. According to re- ports from those who were with Brown when he left last Tuesday night, he had less than $500 with him.
 United States District-Attorney Hill will arrive from Paducah tomorrow, when 1t is said criminal proceedings wIn be begun. The Federal detectives have certain par ties under surveillance and there are re- ports tonight about arrests that will fol- low on the arrival of District-Attorney Hill During the run on the German Ma tional Bank at Newport, Ky, last satur- day s20O,0O0 was secured in Cincinnati to bridge over the trouble. This was re- turned to-day and Receiver Tucker had other moneys and papers also transferred to Cincinnati.
 Browns system required wonderful memory. The experts say he carried in his head the figures that enabled him to call off correctly lot of false entries in way to throw the clerks who were doing tA0 ShSChlHS Wlln Hlil, OH the track. depositor would put in $31OO Brown would enter the proper amount of the de- posit in one book and enter it as $1OO ir another He would take the difference 5000 himself. Then when it came to checking up he would handle one of the books. Another clerk would check and Brown would call off. Instead of calling on $l00, which appeared as ,he amount of the deposit on the book which he was handling, he would call it as S310O, thus making it correspond with the book in the hands of the other clerk
 He also, it is alleged, worked it in an- other way. A depostor would draw out slOO' Brown would make the proper entry in one book and enter S3l00 in another. When the depostor had his account checked up the hgures were taken from the book in Whlch the correct entry had been made When the officials looked to see what amount was due the depositor they were given their information from the books which showed that $5100 had been with drawn. Brown had memorized all the in- diyidual accounts, and the experts find no private marks of any kind on the books The general ledger was kept correct and balanced with the cash, while the indi- yidual ledger, it is alleged, was fixed to suit BroWn purposes, the former being the one that the bank officials examined.
 It is generally believed that Browns first shortage started accidentally with an err TOT of 5000 in the individual accounts. It run on undiscovered and Brown began his fast living with the first thousand and then worked the scheme indefinitely afterward.
