SKlPS WITH MUCH MONEY.
Cashier OF Rich Bank. and Himself Rich,
Flies With Large Amount of Cash,
(By Associated Press

10y Associated preSS.)
LOS ANGLES, CAL, Dec. 9.-H. J.
Freshman, cashier of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank, OF this city, has dis
appeared with a sum Of the banks money
which Vice-President Hellman estimates
at 100000
Fleishman had been cashier and assist
ant cashier of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank for many years. He Logan
work for the bank when a boy, in 1915.
He was under bond with a surety COM
pany for $4,000. In addition to this, he
has real estate and personal property in
this city, sufficient, in the opinion OF
Mr.. Holman, to protect the bank from
the loss of 4 dollar. FIeishman married
the daughter of A. j. Harrell, wealthy
cattleman of Nisilia, but was divorced
some time ago. He was forty-two years
of age, medium build. and smooth face.
H. W. Hellman said of the missing
cashier:
.'Fleishman had not valid excuse for
taking the money. He has property
enough to realize the amount he has
taken from the bank. He was always
considered a man of simple habits and
unimpeachable integrity. We are at q
complete loss to account for his action.
The bank is amply protected and will.
not lose 4 cent.
