BROKERS DEFEAT BANK.
for so3,52s Lost by
Cashier Is Reversed.

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court decided yesterday that the First
National Bank of Highbridge, ". j.,
could not collect from the Stock Ex-
change firm of G. I. Hudson & Co funds
lost in speculntions by the banks for
mer cashier, Abram l.. Beavers, and
reversed judgment for s93,52S in favor
OF the bank
The bank wished 10 hold the brokers
responsible on the ground that they had
received notice that Beavers was using
the banks funds
The court holds that since Beavers
bought and sold securities for the bank
the brokers could not distinguish be-
tween the funds which were his own
and those which were not, and concludes
that the brokers "knew Beavers stood
high in the community In which he
lived and was concerted as director.
treasurer or trustee with several Inn
portant institutions and regarded him as
person of considerable means" For
this reason the court says. the brokers
did not get notice that Beavers was
specializing with property not his own.
