amount Tailed almost exactly with the
statement made by the bank exam
liner.
Altlrich freely admits his guilt, and
says that he Is still willing to pay the
penalty of his defalcation, which
was brought by his urgent need for
money to tide him over on his specu-
lations on the board of trade. He ex-
presses the greatest sorrow that this
trouble will have to be borne by his
wife and other relatives, but continual
ly insists that he will not allow them
to spend cent In an endeayor to save
him from paying the penalty OF his
crime.
He is young man, but twenty four
years of age, fine appearing. and one
who had an excellent chance to do well
in the world, had not the demon OF
gambling crept upon him and wrested
him from the straight, upright life that
he had mapped out.
