NEGRO PORTER
STEALS FROM BANK
SNEAKS $72 CASH AND SEVERAL
CASH ITEMS FROM BOOK
KEEPERS CAGE.

Friday afternoon Boss Walker, a
negro porter in the employ of the
City National Bank, while engaged
in sweeping out the building, slipped
into the cage of the bookkeeper and
stole $1,000 in currency and several
cash items. The theft was soon dis
covered and suspicion pointed to
Walker, and after some efforts he
confessed to the theft and produced
the cash, but had partly burned the
cash items. The cash items can be
duplicated by the bank, and there
will be no loss from the theft. Walker
was arrested and is in Jail awaiting
trial.
The City National Bank is fully
protected by burglar insurance, which
covers all losses by burglary or theft.
