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

Chester. Pa. Jan. 81. Frank Chal-
longer, 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 S1O.60O.
When charged with the misuse OF
the funds. Challenger confessed. lie
said no person was 70 blame but him
self. and that his pecuIations were due
TO the fact that ne lived beyond his
income.
ChailenGcr's family is prominent in
Chester and he had risen from the
position OF Office boy 20 one OF trust.
The arrest of Challenger came as
a shock 10 a great many people In
this county. as he had large circle
or friends and was 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 OF the
other clerks noted discrepancies. and
after satisfying themselves there was
something wrong notified the presi-
dent, James A. G.. Campbell.
MI Campbell Immediately instituted
a most searching investigation. with
the result that It was shown that
through a system Of his own. Chal-
lenger had been abstracting money.
Immediately every account IN the bank
was scruinized 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 IT 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-doing. and
gave such assistance as he could In
clearing matters up. He said he had
been victim OF his extravagant hab-
its. but denied that he had specuIated
with the stolen money.
Challenger had nothing 70 do with
the savings fund department OF the
bank. and his peculations were from
the commercial department his plan
being 10 destroy the deposit slips az.
ter the deposits had been properly en-
tered on the depCsitor's and the banks
books and manipulate the accounts to
avoid detection. although he did not
alter figures on the books OF the bank.
or course the records showed the
amount OF customers deposits. and
there would have been no loss 20 the
depositors. even had the shortage not
been detected. the loss coming out OF
what would otherwise have been the
pron.s or the bank.
Challenger was given hearing be
fore Magistrate Smith. charged with
embeEzlement and was held In SIC. 900
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 fan upon his sureties.
