HORACE HOOSER
UNDER ARREST

Wartrace, Tenn, December 21.
"A shadow OF gloom was cast over
this village today. occasioned by
the arrest last night of w. II.
Hooser, the cashier OF the First
National Bank of Wartrace.
Hooser was arrested at his home
in this place last night by United
States deputy marshal and carried
to Shelbyville for preliminary
hearing before United States Com
missioner Crowell, who allowed
bond to be made to the amount OF
$4,000. The bond WAS signed by
j. o Arnold, the father-in-faw of
Hooser, and John W. jenkins, a
kjnsman.
II guess I will have to plead
guilty, as there is nothing more
for me to do,' said Mr.. Hooser to
the Commissioners, when informed
that he had the right TO be repre-
sented by counsel and waive exam
ination.
According to the officials Mr..
Hoeser has admitted to about
100000 in forgeries and defalca-
tions in the bank accounts and
notes. However, it is stated on
good authority that the amount is
now approximately 100000, and
that the matter will possibly reach
1926 900.
The depositors in the bank NUM-
Der between 600 ZOO with to-
tai amount on deposit of $4,000
in accounts ranging from SI5 up
into the thousands, and many of
these depositors have lost ell they
have financially.
Many of the depositors have
been drawing on their accounts
heavily during the pastfew weekse
and this helped to bring on the
crisis in the bank at this time. To
meet the total liability it is stated
the examiner found only $500 in
cash in the bank when he began
the examination on Tuesday after
noon of last week. Other assets of
the bank will probably total an
amount of about $4,000, not ins
cluding Hooser's bond of $4,000.
The future plans of the directors
of the bank have not been made
known, bat it is expected that they
will liquidate the bank and close
down.
