tee Norcross has decided that t. B.
Hickey, president of the State Bank
and Trust company. should be dis
charged. He was charged with receiv-
ing deposit. knowing the bank to
be insolvent
The statute makes 1t a crime to re-
ceive deposit under such circum-
stances. The deposit in this case was
received by a receiving teller and not
by the defendant Hickey. Hickey
contended that this character OF re-
ception was not within the law, that
the teller was not his agent, but the
agent of the corporation. The court
sustained Rickey's contention and dis
charged him.
