turned the money to the bank that paid it to him and
pleaded lack of intention to violate the law.
The report of the grand jury shows that in addition to
the receipt of the $1,000 interest, Atkinson charged
with being at time $1100 short in his accounts, and
that after banking hours while the grand jury in
