Mr.. S. NJ. jenkins,

Marion, Ky.
Mr.. Editor:-I read last week il
the REcoRD-PREss, which has al
ways been a welcome visitor in oul
home since We have lived in Houston
Texas, a clipping from a Borden
Indiana, paper, in regard to the
recent resignation of H. c. Woolf al
cashier of the Borden State Bank.
Several weeks since, read the &C
count Of his arrest in the Louisville,
Kentucky, papers.
Knowing that H. c. Woolf, known
amongst his friends as "Cleve, ha:

suaded that letter for your paper,
setting out in detail this trouble,
would be of more than general inter

your readers, and especially coming
from one who made a personal and
painstaking investigation of every
detail, connected with the affair.

in the produce business, with one

at the rate OF $50 per month, with
interest until said debt should be
liquidated TIN, was refused by
the bank, who demanded of the
Bonding Company that they make
good his bond
The bonding company had their
representative visit South Greenfield
and make a thorough Inspection Of
the books, and found there not one
single trace of fraud, or an attemp:
in any way to illegitimateiy use the
bank fund, and declined to make
good the loss, taking the position,
and Justly too, that there was 10
fraud, but a debt on the part. of
Woolf and Meyer to said bank
At subsequent session Of the
grand jury, two Of the directors Of
the bank, had Woolf indicted, how.
ever, against the advice of some Of
the best legal talent 10 the country
and against the advice of some Of
the directors of said bank, the law
yers and the directors taking the
position that there was absolutely no

talked with the county officials,
and one of the most prominent at
torneys in the state of Missouri, the
Hon. Berry G. Thurman, who has
since been elected District Judge,
with other banks in Greenfield, with
the produce firms, and with the
Judge of the District Court at that
time, and without a single exception,
every one assured me that there was
absolutely no evidence of fraud in
the entire matter, which coupled
with my own investigation, brands
the whole proceedings against Woolf
as an unjust prosecution.
Woolf, together with myself and
his friends who we're interested, and
his attorneys, demanded a speedy
trial of the case, the bank, however,
acting under the advice of their at
torneys, had the case dismissed and
it was supposed to be settled for all
time.
The present trouble seems to be a
spirit of vIndictiveness, which has
prompted some of the directors of
the bank to institute the present
proceedings, more as a matter of
persecution than prosecution, and
there can be but one result, a full
and complete vindicaeion Of Cleve
Woolf, who, from his earliest child
hood, has maintained a spotless and
an unblemished character, and
for scrupulous honesty
and integrity that any man, young
or old, might envy.
Yours very truly,
II. G. GLENN.

draft was deposited in the South
Greenfield bank, of which Woolf wa,
cashier, to the credit of the produce
business.
The produce firm, managed by
said Meyer, would continue the pur-
chasing of other produce, writing
checks on the bank in payment for
same and against the credit rcceiy-
ed by the depositing Of such draft,
for carload lots consigned to St
Louis and Eastern markets.
The directors of said bank were
fully aware that these drafts were
being deposited and this account
handled in this manner, and which
| was advised by the Greenfield
banks aud bankers elsewhere was
the same as allowed to all Of their
regular customers, and which was
no departure whatever, from banking
measures In vogue elsewhere.
After continuing business In this
manner for several months, two
shipments were made and drafts
drawn, aggregating something like
$500, which amount, in the usual
manner. was placed to credit the ac-
count of the produce firm, and the
checking account continued as usual.
Upon their arrival at their destina-
ton, of the shipment referred to,
the company to whom they were con-
signed had become involved and re-
fused the payment of the drafts,
which had been placed to the credit
of the produce firm at South Green
field, by the South Greenfield Bank.
In the meantime, Meyer had
checked out several hundreds of dol
lars. The bank assuming that the
drafts would be paid as usual, had
allowed the checking by Meyer to
continue in payment for a new lot of
produce. About this time, the
drafts came back to the bank unpaid.
The produce firm was doing business
on limited amount of capital, and
about all they were worth, was repre-
scented by the two shipments of
produce referred to above, for which
they could not make collections.
This being the case, they did not
have the money to take up the un-
paid drafts, which Meyer had drawn
against the commission house and
on which payment had been refused.
Subsequent collections, which were
made by the produce firm and turned
over to the bank by said firm, re-
duced the amount of the indebted
ness, caused by the return of the
drafts unpaid, to about $500. The
directors were notified of the con-
dition of affairs and pre- emptorily
Woolf from the position as
demanding the immediate
return of the money, covering the
Indebtedness of the produce firm to
the bank.
Woolf had put all the surplus
money he had into the produce
business and had nothing whatever
10 meet the obligation, and Meyer
had no property whatever. Woolf
.endered 10 the bank his note for
he entire indebtedness, to bear
interest and to be paid to the bank

Forty-eight hours after his boys de-
