Sweating by Bank Commission
crs Carouttc aud Shcrcr

san Francisco. Dec. IA Dalzen
Brown. the imprisoned manager Of the
california Safe Deposit q Trust COM
pany. has made confession TO the
bank commission. Brown has confessed
that fictitious entries were made IN the
books OF the bank The confession was
not exactly a voluntary one. but came
after Brown had been subjected to a
long sweating process by Bank Conn
missiouers Garoutte and Sherer. Final
ly, when Brown was corncrod. he blurt-
ed out. Yes it's true, those entries
do not represent real transactions"
The entries which Brown has con-
fessed were false related TO two items
each OF 100000. which appeared as as
sets OF the bank These items as re-
corded on the books made it appear
that the California Safe Deposit d
Trust company had on deposit 100000
In each of two New York banks.
Brown maintained almost to the end
OF the interview with tho commissioners
that the entries represented genuine ass
sets, but when pressed further for
complete explanation. he broke down
and admitted the truth.
