Chicago, Aug. 11.-In addition to
the discovery of a private ledger kept
BY President Paul o. Stensland Of the
4 wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State
bank and in which was concealed
record of $191 900 Of savings bank de-
posits another sensational book came
to light during the examination of
Cashier Henry w. Herring by Assistant
States Attorney Olson at the bank.
This book showed Stensland in a new
role-that of sport and racetrack gam
bier. The book showed that the miss
ing president, in company with a CO.
terie Of friends, was heavy plunger
on the races. It contained memoranda
Of the campaigns on the turf. One
day Stensland and his companions
bet $4,000 to win 100000 on horse
called General Bragg. The animal
won. There were lots of losings, how
ever, to offset this big winning.
d. This shows" said Herring, as he
brought the book from it's hiding place,
that I'm not the only fellow around
here who followed the ponies.'"
Question Hering's Statement.
The authorities are chary Of repos-
ing implicit confidence in Hering's
statement that he did not forge the
names on certain notes and by impli-
cation insinuating that Stensland did.
The actual securing Of money on
bad paper always was put through at
noon, when the paying teller was out
at lunch. Then Herring would enter
his cage, take the money and leave a
debit slip on the hook .: Y. ..5 @55
This is what happened on July 90.
Herring admits that he took $1,000
from the: paying teller's drawer, put
the money in his pocket and put on
the spindle slip charging the sum to
mythical 1Umbach. ''$ No such per
son exists SO far as is known and the
ton " as ID sI,iisrin ease of EN-.
bezzlement.s u ; ;
n. In the case of the money borrowed
by Stensland from the bank Herring
said that Stensland had instructed
him to make between 100000 and
5000, 900 In forged notes, signed chiefly
with the names of prominent patrons
of the bank This, he said, he did
I under Stensland's specific dictation.
Also, at Stensland's dictation, he cared
for these notes and credited interest
Il on them from time to time.
