HARRISONVILLE BANKER
SHORT $4,000 SUICIDES
Took Poison Rather Than Face Dis
grace. Shortage May Reach
100000

| jacksonville, Mo-, Feb. 5.-Abra-
,ham Lincoln Burney, highly respect
ed president of the bank, committed
suicide with poison in Kansas City
hotel Wednesday after making sew
admitted he was an embezzler and a
Letrayer OF the confidence imposed in
him by friends and his associates.
The dead bankers confession adj
mitted to forgeries totaling $4,000,
but officials OF the bank believe the
shortage may reach, if not exceed,
100000. The Bank Examiners in
vestigation alone will enlighten the
depositors whether the bank has suf-
ficient resources to meet its obliga-
tons.
kilograms signed by Duncan were
sent to numerous banks in Missouri
late today, stopping payments on all
checks and drafts drawn on the Bank
of Harrisonvile. Whether the bank
will open again will not be known un
til Duncan completes his audit.
Burney owned 1900 acres of farm
land in Cass County. The property
was we'll "blanketed'' with mortgages.
All assets, except his life insurance,
Burney decided to the bank. The lie
insurance, amount unknown, will be
paid his widow
TownSpcople regarded Burney as a
man OF great vision and public spirit.
There is little ll-ieeling among those
who may lose over his embezzle-
Eurney had confided in them, instead
OF killing himself, the shortages
would have been speedily removed.
Hut relatives said tonight Burncy,
man at exemplary habits and devoted
to his family, was too proud to di-
vulge alorgcrics and call ON his friends
to relieve the financial cmbarrass-
ncnt. The relatives agreed that Bur-
ncy's extensive business ventures
proved more than even his active
brain could stand and that he became
insane.
Barney dabblcd often i'll oil stocks,
as well as oil leases. DRY holes
were the inevitable fruits OF these
>pcculations, his friends said.
Burncy. a few hours before he took
his lie. telephoned his nephew, bud
ley Barnett. the bank cashier, to open
the bank presidents lock box and de-
liver several addressed letters. Bar
nett compiled with the order, giving
letters to Burney's close relatives,
several friends and directors of the
bank
None OF the recipients OF the fare

tents.

HOLDER SCORES
BACK STABBERS'
I'm in to Stay and Will
Win, He De-
clares

VALDOSTA, Aug. 25-John N.
Holder spoke here today, in the in
terest of his candidacy for governor,
declaring that he was in the race to
the finish and was going to win.
Mr.. Holder spoke along the usual
lines, discussing the state issues up
on which he is basing his race, and
paying his respects to his opponents
in no uncertain terms. He declared
Mr.. Hardwick's record showed him to
be a critic and destroyer, he having
opposed practically all constructive
legislation with which he had ever
had anything to do, and practically
all of that which was intended for
the winning of the war. He said Mr..
Walker had been a public officehold-
er for some twenty years, enjoying
a comfortable living at the public ex-
pense, and yet had no constructive
public work to his credit.
Mr.. Holder especially went after
the Atlanta Constitution, the Macon
Telegraph and other state papers in
the combine to attempt to force him
out of the race. He had sought to
befriend these editors, he said, by
repudiating in all his speeches, the
vicious attacks which Mr.. Hardwick
is continually making upon them, and
all the gratitude he got for it was
their recent effort to stab him in the
back.
"But they won't succeed" Mr..
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-08-25

In an open letter to Editor Clark
Howell of the Atlanta Constitution
replying to the editorial published by
that paper, Friday, calling upon him
to withdraw from the race and ask
ing, What say you Mr.. Holder?"
Speaker John N. Holder of the House
of Representatives says the one con-
dition upon which he will withdraw
is that Mr.. Howell will at once with
draw from the race his candidate for
the United States senate. Otherwise
Mr.. Holder declares he is in the race
for governor to the finish, and pro-
poses to prosecute his campaign
more vigorously than ever.
Declaring that he was the first in
the race for governor, having come
IN as loyal Democrat to save the
situation in Georgia, following a con-
ference of his friends from all parts
of the state, Mr.. Holder says he
does not propose to be eliminated
now, when the reports which he
quotes from all sections of the state
show that he is the strongest candi-
date, and that there is every indi-
cation that he will win.
Mr.. Holder asserts that there IS
no ground or right upon which Mr.
