LOST BY
BANK
Big Shortage Discovered
in Lewiston Institu-
tion-Thieves to be
Punished

LEWISTON. Ida, June a.
President f. w. Kettenbach of the
Lewiston National bank of Idaho
Trust company is authority for the
statement taht shortage of
$4,000 was discovered in the
books of the National bank before
its recent consolidation with the
trust company and that 1t has
been made good by the directors
and shareholders.
The defalcat tion was discovered
by the national bank examiner
who, after thorough examination
of the books, reported that the al
legged embezzlement had covered a
period of five years. Two former
employees of the Lewiston National
bank are said to have admitted
that they knew something con-
cerning the manner in which the
money disappeared, but the entire
affair was kept from the public for
obvious reasons.
Now the officials of the bank
are ready to proceed with the pros
ecution, which will be in charge
of the government and the surety
companies that were on the bonds
of the suspected parties. The
Lewiston National bank and the
Idaho Trust company consolidated
about year ago.
Nobody now connected with
the bank had anything to do with
the embezzlement," said President
Kettenbach today. THE exam
nation shows that no large
amount of money was taken at one
time, but that small amounts were
embezzled for period of five
years"

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-If
the warning camps of the prose-

trial do not cease the wordy strife
and the mouthing of personal
taunts that have characterized the
proceedings, the attorneys will be
Jailed for contempt of court.
That Judge Lawlor has reached
the limit of his patience and will
tolerate no more exchange of in
nuendo was apparent today when
Attorney Rogers accusation of
perjury on the part of Witness
John Helms almost precipitated a
physical encounter.
eff these scenes are not
stopped some one will be
jailed for contempt of court"

counsel that the attack had oc-

sumed his seat.

If his former testimony in the
case proved annoying to the de-
fense, a bombshell was exploded
in it's camp when he stated under

livered to Patrick Calhoun papers
alleged to have been stolen from
the offive of Special Agent Will

Rogers Ieaped to his feet.
Don't you know you are a per-

Then jumping from his chair
on the witness stand he advanced

Every one inside the inclosure
leaped to his feet, and the court

FIND NO TRACE
OF MISSING
man

That B. Edward Otto, the
missing machinist who disappear
ed from his home at 4549 Puget
Sound avenue last Thursday, has
either committed suicide or has
left the country, was the opinion
expressed by Captain of Detectives
Fitzgerald this morning. Detec-
tives Huekaba and James Donovan
have worked on the case for sew
.eral days, and have been unable &c
secure even the least tangible clue
as to the missing mans where
abouts.
Otto, who was a machinist al
the Northern Pacific shops al
South Tacoma, had lived in South
Tacoma with his family for twen-
ty years. He was a member of
the South Tacoma Machinists'
union, No. 102, and of the Sons of
Herman lodge.
Thursday he mysteriously dis
appeared. after writing a peculiar
note to Charles Werner, employed
in the saem shop, and taking a
revolver that he had seldom car
ried.
According to neighbors of the
Ottos, the family was continually
torn with inner strife. Mrs. Otto
when queried by the detectives
laughed at their fears. saying thai
nothing had happened to her hus-
band, but that he had probably de-
cided 90 take a vacation. The po-
lice are still working on the case
