Women should realize that!

the trouble Of looking after their
banking accounts, trusting Kirlin to
do it for them.
Stories are told at every hand Of
the careless practices of both Krlin
and numerous depositors of the Farm
ers Banking company. One astonishing
instance of how Kirlin conducted the
banks affairs is told by a responsible
Milton business man.
A former resident Of the town re-
turned to Milton recently and desired
to purchase property there valued at
$1,000. This man had a property at
Indianapolis and about $500 in cash.
He deposited the $500 at the Milton
bank and then approached Kirlin with
the proposition of giving the bank
note for 5000 so he would have enough
money to buy the Milton property he
wanted.
kirlin, it is stated, told this man to
write a check for $1,000 and buy the
property. The man did this. He was
not required to execute a note. Several
months later the man sold his Indian
apolis property and from the proceeds
of the sale paid in 5000 to the bank
and took up the check.
Had No Need For Property.
Later the man who had sold the
another property, Kirlin acting as the
agent in the deal. When Kirlin killed
himself, the purchaser held no deed
for his new home and, it is stated, that
the seller had not received payment.

fact was ascertained last week by
state accountants. This deposit will
be returned to the county as soon as
the affairs of the bank have been ad-
{, justed.
| a Milton business man informed the
| Palladium correspondent that not long
ago he took out a note at the Milton
| bank. When it was executed the only
name that appeared on the note was
his own. Eventually the note was re-
discounted by bank at Connersville
and when the Milton man took up his
note he saw that another name, as an
indoors ment, had been written on the
note and then not very carefully
erased.
| Handled Money Informally.
II was not an uncommon occurrence,
is is stated. for bank patrons to meet
kirlin after banking hours, hand over
some money to him and ask that it be
placed on deposit for them, the formal
ity of securing a certificate of deposit
being ignored.
! Receiver Kitterman and assistants
have been working continuously for
three weeks trying to unravel the af-
fairs of the Farmers Banking COM
pany, but it may require several more
weeks of hard work before the receiv-
er is prepared to submit his report
which. it is needless to say, the
patrons of the bank are awaiting with
