ems the sensation as TO the plumber
ing of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank by Cashier Dewey. 1t is that al
lready the defalcation reaches S121, 900
land will doubtless exceed SIPS, 900. He
appears to have secured at least $50, 900
lin cash during July. Two notes each
flor $1,000 given by the Hosiery Mill
company and endorsed by one Pelitier
lare found to be utterly worthless.
There were cashed in Philadelphia and
baltimore. DeWey's stealings go back
flor years but lately, he had prepared
flor flight. His plan was to draw notes
lin other banks, guarantee their pay
ment by his bank, cash them and pock-
let the money. The officials believe that
he has a heavy Jul in cash with him
or hidden and available. 1t appears
certain that the depositors will not get
all their money.

his 12-year-old-oId step daughter with
l~outraging her and with having improp-
er relations for many months. was Civ

THE eward for Dewey'c capture has
been increased to $4,000. Dewey left
Ionly $1,000 in cash in the bank, one
Thousand of it in gold.
Gambling in cotton futures is one
way in which the money went. For a
