wASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 2.-The de-
selopment that Richard {. Davis, ex-
sashier Of the Peoples National Bank. had
smbezzled $500 belonging TO DR.. y. J.
Gsoshorn, has been made public by the fact
that GoShOrn holds "A worthless order on a

attempted TO settle the matter, but has
Jailed and suit viii be brought. The case
recalls the summary removal of Davis as
cashier two months ago, after a shortage
sf over $4,000 was discovered and two runs
were made on the bank. Davis and his
family made good the known shortage by
Surning over TO the directors their bank
stock. being a controlling interest, and all

shat were not passed to the records of the
tank. and several cases Of classifying the
sank accounts have been discovered. An
instance reported is that Of the Capital
National Bank, Of indianapolis. The bank
records showed a credit of over 5000, when
st was found the account was nearly $15,-
coo in the Capitals favor. An unexpected
-isit OF Vice President Packard, of the
capital National. revealed the true cOndi-
zion, and this FASTENED DaVis's removal.
Davis tried to hide this account by recall
eng a special report To the Capital National
shat had been made by President Burke, of
<he Peoples, and mailed with a special de-
livery stamp. Davis recovered the letter
srom the postofice and when il failed TO
seach its destination a telephone interview
led TO discovery of the Justification.
Davis claims to have lost $1,000 shooting
