month ago. They amount to $2I5oo
Nearly all of these were the proper
tv of customers who had placed the
bonds in the bank for safe keeping
The Banker says that in such IN
stances the bank is not responsible
for the loss, provided it used due dill
igence to care for the property ler'
in its care. The American Banker
has the following decision regarding
the recovery of bonds.
There is no provision of the Fed
eral statutes wnder which the gov
eminent undertakes to protect the
owner of lost or stolen coupon bonds
of the Government, which are pay
able to bearer. Such bonds are me-
gotiable and if the owner loses
them, the loss is his and bona fide
purchaser from the finder or thief
would be protected in his title
Under these rulings it seems inn
probable that the owners Of the stol-
en- securities will ever see them-un-
less the robbers and their haul are
captured. No trace Of the yeggs
has ever been found.
