the cases would not be covered by
the embezzlement statutes. The as
sumption that no actual loss was suf-
fered Is based presumably on the con-
tention that if the money had been
allowed to remain in the state treas
ury, no interest would have been
available for embezzlement. What
the defendants were charged with was
embeZzling interest on state funds
which they surreptiously placed in
bank in accord with an agreement
with the banking officials.
1t is regarded as a peculiar irony
of fate that Henry w. Backhus, the
former secretary-treasurer of the de.
funct banking institution, and the
man who Confessed" to the facts
which resulted in the other indict-
ments and his own, is the only man
who must stand trial according to the
Kinkead decision. Backhus is charged
with making false entries on the
banks books.
