Pittsburg, Aug. 9.-Banking circles
of .Pittsburg are greatly disturbed over
the discovery of the defalcation in the
Union Trust company by Clinton B.
Wray and Clifford S. Hilton.
It is not the loss of the money which
has caused the worry, but the fact that
the scheme adopted by these two men
is a new one and it is almost impossible
to guard against it.
According to bankers, the plan Of
Wray and2 Hixton was as simple as it
was unique. Every bank has hundreds
Of depositors who are looked upon as
"dead ones' These are people who
once, had accounts in the bank and
finally ceased doing business there,
never turning in their passbooks to
have their accounts balanced and closed
out. 49,. .~+.
Hixton and Wray selected number
Of these "dead ones. "tsTo, these. ac-
counts they credited various sums.
When they wanted any, money they
checked against these accounts. There
was no way of discovering the fraud
unless every dollar in the bank should
be counted daily and the; books COM
pletely balanced. az
In this case, while Hixton was on his
vacation, one of these Hdead' deposit
ors began depositing again on his ac-
count and left his book for balance.
The result was startling.
