OMER KIRLIN
Will REFUSE
TO PAY BOND
One of Sureties on Alleged
Bond to Contest Payment of
Receivers Claim Against
Him of 100000.
LIABLE

Omer Kirlin, father of the late Os-
car NJ. Kirlin, and one of the sureties
on the bond his son is alleged to have
given as cashier of the Farmers Bank
of Milton, Ind, will refuse payment on
the claim Of 500, 900 filed by Claude s.
kitterman, receiver for the bank,
against Mr.. Kirlin and the other al
legged surety on the bond, the estate
Of the late Lycurgus w. Beeson.
In filing claim for 100000 against
Mr.. Kirlin and the Beeson estate the
receiver alleges that the late cashier
Of the Farmers bank violated his bond
in three particulars, that he appro-
priated to his own use in excess of
$4,000 Of the funds, bonds and notes
Of the bank; that he permitted insolv-
ent customers Of the bank to overdraw
their checking accounts in excess Of
$4,000, and that he made loans in
excess of $4,000 to persons whom
Kirlin knew to be insolvent, the loans
being advanced on unsecured notes or
without sufficient security.
Says Bond is Lost
The receiver in submitting his claim
against Kirlsn's bondsmen admits that
the bond alleged to have been exc
cuted by Kirlin has been lost or des-
troyed.
The receiver has filed with his
claim what he purports to be an ac-
curate copy Of the missing bond.
The receiver has asked the author
ity Of the court to file suit, if neces-
sary, to collect the claim entered
against the sureties on the 'lost or
destroyed" bond. Whether the Bee
son estate will reject this claim has
not been ascertained. 1t would oc-
casion no surprise If such action was
taken by the heirs of the estate. 1t
is generally understood that Mr.. Kir-
lin intends to contest the claim in
the courts, if necessary. in which
event the principal question involved
would be the authenticity of the copy
of the bond which the receiver has
submitted as a duplicate of the orig
inal bond Oscar Kirlin is said to have
executed to the Farmers bank.
