George D. Cole Will Return to
Marion, Indiana, to Face
The Charges.
AN AGREEMENT REACHED
THE MISSING CASHIER SAID HE
WOULD GIVE HIMSELF UP IF
HE WAS NOT BROUGHT BACK
BY A COURT OFFICER.

Marion, Ind. Dec. 2S-In Difference
to the wishes of George D. Cole. cash
Ter of the wrecked state bank at Up
land, he will be permitted to come
to this city from his fathers home in
Fremont. o.. without being placed I'M
der arrest on the charge of embezzle
ment and obtaining loan fraudulent
ly. Cole was indicted by the Grant
county grand jury, and, suspecting
that some charge rested against him,
had his attorney in Fremont call Sher-
IF George here yesterday relative to
the proposition Of giving himself up.
The Fremont attorney said that Cole
would not resist arrest, but would
rather come to Indiana without being
placed under arrest, and be served
here with the warrant, and give bond.
This agreement was entered into and
Cole is expected here today.
The charge of embezzlment is bas-
ed on the acceptance by Cole OF three
small deposits from patrons of the
bank after it w:s known to be insoI-
vent. The charge of fraudulency re-
lates to Coles borrowing $500 from
the bank after it had become insol-
vent.
Sardis 3. Cole Arrested.
Sardis B. Cole, Jr., brother Of
George d. Cole, was arrested at Hart
ford City last Saturday on an indict-
ment by the Grant county grand jury
charging him with obtaining $521
from the defunct bank fraudulently,
vent. 1t is surmised that he notified
his brother in Ohio. and that the re-
suit of this notification is the propos-
ed surrender of George D. Cole to the
authorities.
Sardis Cole was stakeholder and
director of the bank and two years
ago was the unsuccessful candidate
for the republican nomination for
treasurer of Grant county. The
whereabouts of Charles w. Cole, pres
ident of the defunct bank is not
known. He is q brother of the two
men against whom charges are made.
The bank passed into the hands of a
receiver last September with liabl-
tiles amounting to s5S,0OO and assets
of about $4,000. 1t is alleged that
bad management of the bank on the
part of the Cole brothers was the
cause of it's insolvency.
