HOW SHORTAGE WAS FOUND
Examiner, Visiting Utica Bank,
Made His Own Fnntinps.

Washington, May 1s.-Treasury officials
declare that the discovery of the alleged
defalcation OF $4,000 from the Utica City
National Bank by J. Howard Lowery.
formerly discount clerk, later assistant
cashier and now, according to the treas
ury Department a fugitive from Justice,
was the diect resultof the order given last
January prohibiting national bank ex-
aminers from asking the assistance Of
clerks employed by banks in making their
examinations.
A portion Of the alleged shortage existed
for about four years. At the time of each
examination, it was said to-day, Lowery
would balance the loans and discounts and
would submit to the examiners as proof
of this balance an adding machine tape
upon which the loans and discounts were
purported to have been listed.
The examiners then would check the
adding machine list against the note ticker
and Lowery, its declared, was enabled to
cover up his defalcation by the examiners
failing to foot pages Of the note ticker or
prove the correctness Of the footing of the
adding machine tape.
Examiner Van Ranken made the exaui-
nation April q last. He proved the foot
ings Of the adding machine list submitted
by Lowery and discovered the alleged
shortage While the examiner was making
this proof, Lowery, it is declared, alb
stracted about 81, 600 from the cash and left

filed with the Supreme Court of the United
States q, petition for rehearing in the case
in which he was held guilty Of defrauding
the government. Captain Carter alleges
that the Supreme Court was misled by
perjured testimony.
Having spent thousands of dollars In
counsel fees in the case, Carter was his
own attorney to-day. He merely filed his
motion in the clerks Office, the rules OF the
court not allowing a, presentation Of the
motion in open court
Carter in his petition sets forth that
there was no evidence TO show that West
colt, alleged to have been a secret partner
OF Green & Gaynor, was the agent Of Car
ter. save the manufactured exhibits OF
Edward Israel Johnson, an accountant EN-
ployed by the prosecution, who admittedly
knew nothing of his own knowledge, and
khom the trial court found guilty in this
very connection, in a number OF instances
of swearing to forged balances l. e., of
committing perjury. This witness
was not only shielded, but is still carried
on the government payroll"
In the concluding paragraph OF the docu-
ment Captain Carter apologies for any
irregularities of phraseology which may be
found. as the petition was prepared by him
self.
