FORMER BANKER INDICTED.

with Misapproprlating 100000.

"&s@A PtOVsVOVs
Greensboro, N. c., December 7.-An
Indictment against John H. Carter,
former president of the American Ma
tional Bank, of Asheville, charging
the misappropriation of funds approx
imating 100000 during a period of
seven months, was returned by Fed
eral grand jury here today. There
are 54 separate and specific counts
The indicted banker is widely known
as promter of banks and other insti-
tutions in the South Atlantic States.
In twenty-one Of the counts return
ed Carter is charged with misappropri-
alton of the funds Of the American
National Bank of Asheville, by draw
ing exchange drafts on the institu-
tion's New York correspondents.
These drafts, it is charged, were made
payable to himself and the funds were
not placed in the Asheville bank. 9th
er counts charge false entries to cover
the alleged defalcations, false reports
to the Comptroller of the Currency
and large overdrawals Of his person
al account.
All Of the alleged defalcations for
which the Indictment today was re-
turned are said to have been commit
ted during period between Decem-
Der n, 1909 and August, 1910. Carter
rendered his resignation as president
of the bank in September, 1910. Since
that time, 1t is said, he has made resti-
tuition to the directors approximating
100000 of the alleged misappropria-
tionS
Admission was made by govern
ment representatives who conducted
the investigation on which the indict-
ment was returned, that Carter's al
legged shortage had been known for
some time, but that it had been fully
covered by the directors of the bank.
1t also was stated that the banks
condition now was satisfactory.
The indicted banker organized sew
eral banks in North Georgia and North
Carolina. He was interested in a
number Of Atlanta enterprises and is
said to have lost heavily by the failure

insurance Company, of which he was
