tried and found guilty, but the court of
appeals set aside the conviction on legal
technicalities. He was tried and convict
ed a second time, and sentenced to serve
term of seven years in the penitentiary.
He took another appeal. but the appel
late court this time affirmed the judg-
ment of the trial court, and a few weeks
ago the Supreme Court Of the United
States refused to grant him a writ of
certiorari. This means that he must be-
gin his term in prison at an early date. as
his attorneys have, exhausted every re-
source to save him which is known to the
law. 49,
But it is not always the bank officer
who causes the trouble. There is the
spectacular case Of a low-salaried book
keeper in a bank in town just outsiae
of Boston. an employee who did not even
have access to the cash. who succeeded
in looting this small bank of practically
every cent in its possession. Altogether
he got from it over 100000. most OF
which he as promptly spent in playing
faro on the occasions OF his almost night
ly excursions to New York city.
The general method by which this book
keeper operated may be shown by one
transaction He drew a check for $o,OOO
on his own account in the bank which
employed him in favor Of friend VINO
was not in any way connected with the
bank The friend then exchanged this
check with a Boston brokerage firm Tor
cash and turned the cash over to the
bookkeeper. The brokerage firm deposit
ed the bookkeeper's check to Its credit
in a Boston bank and this bank sent 1t

along with numerous other checks
through the clearing house to the home
bank for collection. The bookkeeper
came to the bank early in the morning.
secretly opened the mail and destroyed
his own check. Later in the day he
charged the amount of it to various in
active accounts. The cashier of the
bank handled only the aggregate amount
of the checks coming through the clear
ing house and drew his cashiers check
upon the banks Boston reserve in salts
faction of the total clearing house bal
ance, including the destroyed check for
5000. In this way the bookkeeper got
the actual money which he charged to
inactive accounts, and thus the banks
books were kept balanced and the de-
falcation did not appear.
For more than a year this process was
continued. When it was finally discovered
that something was wrong there was
great how-do-you-do in counting nickels
and dimes in the cash drawer while the
-culprit was still appropriating thousands
mere skeleton. Every large account In it
600 had been Incorporated and spent
in gambling and riotous living. The
bookkeeper pleaded guilty and was sent
to prison for fifteen years. The steerer
was tried as an alder and abettor and
sentenced to term Of eighteen years.
There are even many cases on record
where a single depositor In bank has
succeeded in wrecking such an institu-
ton. The case of an insurance agent de-
positor in town near Philadelphia Is IL
