six years in the Eastern Penitentiary.
West. according to his own story
and corroborated by j. o. S. Poor
man, president of the bank, took the
money during a period of four years.
His method was simple; when a depos-
itor presented money for deposit West

name and made out a credit slip for
the cash book-and then tore up the
slip without making the entry on the
cash book. He was suspected by the
president and during his vacation
careful investigation was made.
Another Woman?
Poorman said he himself had re-
ceived telephone calls from woman
who said she was Mrs. West" The
