Rk|NE' s SHORTAGE
LARGEST IN SOUTH;
REACH $1,000, OOO
Grand Jury May IndiCt Officers
anG Directors of Bank As
Well AS Its PreSiednt.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Feb. 10.-A new
individual embezzlement will be re-
corded against c. Hunter Raine,
president Of the defunct Mercantile
bank Of Memphis. whose shortage. it
was estimated Tuesday, will reach
81 ,500,0 600 or more.
The largest previous individual de-
falcation was that of August ROpke
Of Louisville. who is serving ten years
in the penitentiary at Frankfort KY,
for having taken $1.400,000 from a
Louisville trust company in 1903.
Auditors going over the books of
the Mercantile bank Tuesday uncov-
cred another shortage in addition to
the $1,100,000. which Raine. in his
cell at the county Jail has admitted
he lost in cotton speculation. The
auditors said the records of the bank
would show the largest embezzlement
ever known in Tennessee and likely
the largest ever known in the L. :.
Efforts are known to have been
made by the directors Of the defunct
Mercantile bank TO replace the
money taken by Raine. but Tuesday 1t
was said that only 100000 had been
pledged by the directors who under
the Tennessee baTFing laws. are re-.
sponsible for all of the deposiaors'
money.
Among the heavy losers in the fail
ure of the bank is Mrs. Eldredge
Wright. whose husband was killed
three years ago at Kinmundy. ILL.,
when an engine crashed into private
car and killed J. T. Harahan, former
president of the Illinois Central rail-
road and his party Of men who We're
his guests. Mrs. Wright is said to
have had S5S.0 900. in the bank.
The grand jury is investigating with
view of returning indictments
against Raine charging embeZZlement
and fraudulent breach of trust. Other
indictments are said 10 be considered
against the officers and directors OF
the bank. All OF them are prominent
in financial circles Of the south.
No other banks or business houses
were closed owing to the failure. and
announcements were made the de-
falcations of Raine would not affect
any of them.
