Mr.. Currie went on TO explain that
the account was opened 10 years ago
and had TO do With 100 shares OF
American Bridge Co. stock. The tran
sactions resulted ultimately in loss,
he said, and in May. 1908. the account
had been closed up and transferred
10 his own personal account, as tho
books were about to be audited and
he wanted to clean up everything he
was personally accountable for.
When you took over the whole &C
count, did you inform Mr.. Ledyard you
were going on in his name?"
Yes. | wrote him a letter"
But II did not appear that there had
been any further transactions under
this account. In fact, there had been
no trading in this account for three OF
four years. he said. II was brought
out that he had assumed several &C
counts, for which he was more or less
responsible, before the failure. One
OF these was Mrs. II. d. Newberry's
for $4,000. Another for IS 900 had 10
do with the Michigan Stone & Supply
Co., and there was a note OF $3.50
given by W. E. Jarvis, which he had
Endorsed.
Isn't it fact Mr.. Currie, that inc
last thing you did before the firm
closed its doors was to draw $500 cash
on your personal note?"
