after leaving here. Allen K. Fawcett
went to Washington and then to some
place In Pennsylvania in the effort to
raise money to make good his shortage
at the Buckingham Bank.
There are two things that would
tend to mitigate this young man's
crime IL he should ever be on trial in
court. One is that there was be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in currency in
that bank that young Fawcett could
have taken before he left II he had

have the deedsto the property he re-
Gently purchased here made to his wife,

The placing Of the bank into the

with the fact that guarantee com,
