brought here by j. Mack Rhodes.
cashier or the First National Bank OF
Hendersonviile.
The warrant charged Rutledge with
obtaining by means of worthless drafts
the sum of 1887 of the banks funds.
After being arrested, Rutledge said
that he had deposited the money in
the First National Bank of Roanoke
and that he would gladly pay IT over
to the Hendersonville institution.
An effort was made to find some
one connected with the Roanoke Bank
who could verify Rutledge's state
ment, but as this was impossible,
Rutledge had TO spend the night in
jail.
This morning he paid over the
money to Cashier Rhodes, adding to
the amount claimed the sum OF $50.
Rhodes expenses to Roanoke and re-
turn. Rutledge insists that he never
dreamed OF swindling the hank and
that he thought he had ample funds
in the bank to protect the drafts.
