EMBEzZLED TO
KEEP UP STYLE
J. Frank Challenger Confesses Steal
ing $4,000 From Trust Co.
LIVED BEYOND HIS MEANS

Chester, Pa, Jan. 9.-J. Frank Chal-
lengcr, secretary of the Delaware
County Trust company. was arrested
ON the charge OF embeZZling the funds
OF the institution. An examination OF
the books of the company showed a
shortage of $10,600.
When charged with the misuse OF
the funds. Challenger confessed. He
said no person was to blame but him
self. and that his peculations were due
to the fact that he lived beyond his
income.
Challenger's family is prominent in
Chester, and he had risen from the
position OF office boy TO one OF trust,
The arrest OF Challenger came as
q shock to a great many people In
this county. as he had large circle
of friends and was a more than ordi
narily popular man. The discovery OF
the shortage was made at the annual
balancing of the books at the first of
the year. AT that time some oil the
other clerks noted discrepancies. and
after satisfying themselves there was
something wrong notified the presi
dent, James \. G. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell Immediately instituted
a most searching investigation, with
the result that ii was shown that.
through a system OF his own, Chal
lenger had been abstracting money.
Immediately every account in the bank
was scrutinized and balances taken In
every department and all OF the secur
tiles OF the institution and the collat
eral deposited were examined. with
the result that il was shown that
every other employees account in the
institution was correct and that Chal
lenger had operated entirely by him
self
Confronted with the evidence, Chal
lenger admitted his wrong-dong. and
gave such assistance as he could In
clearing matters up. He said he had
been victim of his eXtravagant hab
It's. but denied that he had speculated
with the stolen money.
Challenger had nothing to do with
the savings fund department of the
bank and his peculatons were from
the commercial department. his plan
being to destroy the deposit slips af
ter the deposits had been properly en-
tered on the depositor's and the banks
books. and manipulato<he accounts 10
avoid detection. although he did not
alter figures on the books of the bank
Of course the records showed the
amount OF customers deposits. and
there would have been no loss to the
depositors. even had the shortage not
been detected. the loss coming out of
what would otherwise have been the
profits of the bank
Challenger was given hearing be-
fcre MAGISTRATE Smith. charged with
embeZzlement and was held in $4,000
bail for court In default OF bail he was
taken to jail He was under bonds for
more than twice the amount stolen
and the loss will fall upon his sureties.
