RECEIVER STOLE
FROM THE BANK
He Was Sent By Uncle Sam to Wind
Up at London, Is Charge Un-
der Which He's Arrested.

Much local interest was created
this week in the news from London
that the U. S. Receiver for the Lon
don bank which failed about year
or so ago, has himself been arrested
charged with embezzling money
from the bank. Several local people
were interested in the London bank.
A dispatch from London told of the
matter as follows:
Fred w. Weitzel, receiver of the
First National Bank, of this city,
was arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal r. M. Young, on the
charge of embezzlement Wednes-
day afternoon and held to the Fed
eral grand jury at Covington under
$4,000 bond.
Not being able to furnish the bond
WeitZel was sent to the Covington
jail. Before starting on the trip he
said he would be unable to secure
bail, at least for the present.
The warrant on which Weitzel was
arrested was secured by A. E. Ra-
dert, special agent of the Depart
ment of Justice, of Washington,
who has been here for the last two
weeks in the capacity of an expert
accountant. The warrant charges
embezzlement of $4,000. However,
it is believed that the actual amount
of money that is missing is consid-
erably larger. Weitzel refused to
make any statement.
Special Agent Radert said he
would be able to give out a COM
plete statement of the affairs of the
bank in a few days. The arrest of
the receiver has caused a sensation
in London. After the First National
Bank was closed in May, 1914, by
order of the Controller of the Cur
rency, Weitzel, a former Kentuc-
khan, who, however, at that time was
a resident of Washington, was APP
pointed receiver. He moved here
with his family and has been in
charge of the bank ever since.
Both former President w. B.
Catching and Cashier McCauley
Fitzgerald were indicted, and the
latter was convicted and sentenced
to five years in the Federal prison.
He appealed and his case has not
been decided.
United States Commissioner Geo.
C. Moore, before Weitzel appeared
Wednesday afternoon, issued the
warrant against him at the request
of Mr.. Radert. He said that, while
the latter charged the embezzlement
of only $4,000 he understood that
the total was larger.

Kentucky Moose Resent Betrayal.

The Kentucky Bull Moose pro-
foundry resent the action of the Chi
cago conference which attempted to
deliver the organization to the Re-
publican party, in the opinion of M.
]. Holt, chairman of the Kentucky
Bull Moost State central committee.
In letter published in The Enquirer
Mr. Holt says:
II feel that of the thirty delegates
who attended the Chicago conven-
ton at least half will support Will
son, not because of preference for
his policies, but because they resent
being delivered as a drove of plan
tation mules.
81 feel that the Democrats who
came over to US in 1912 have been
betrayed and that our candidate for
Vice President, who was nominated
after a select few knew Roosevelt
had declined the nomination, was re-
prehensibly treated. / can conceive
of no more discourteous political
conduct"
