HARTFORD BANK CASHIER
 IN JAILIN DEFAULT OF BONDS

Hartford May 27.-Accused of embez- zlng S24,700 from the Phoenix National bank where he was employed as teller Augustus H. Schumacher of 34 Willard street, 51 years old and many years with local banks was arrested by Detective Sergeant Charles r. koenig last night Because of a slight indisposition Schu- macher was lodged in the matron's quar- ters for the night where the cell accom- modations are more comfortable than in the bediess cells in the main cell house. He had S10,0o0 on his person when con- fronted by bank officials several days ago.
 Before Commissioner Corbett this af- ternoon bonds were fixed at $10000 in default of which Schumacher was com mitted to the Hartford county jail He probably entered a plea of not guilty and waived examination. His case will prob ably come up before the federal court now in session when it will be presented | to the grand jury on Thursday and an | indictment asked for The total amount of Schumacher's shortage at the bank according to Vice President William B i Bassett, was $34,7o0 but of this there l has been returned s10,00o The latter
 sum was found on Schumacher's person | after he had left the bank when his ire | gularities were discovered
 Harrison B. Freeman Schumacher's ! attorney. said the money taken by the | accused was not lost in stock operations but that Schumacher had lived in ex-
 cess of his income. The money was aob- i tained. MT. Freeman said, by manipula
 tion of large accounts. He declared that | Schumacher's mind had been in a cloud | ed condition for some time.
 caid 1 Schumacher's peculations from his owr ! admissions, had extended from 1910 or 1911 and when the Phoenix National | Bank took over the business of the i Charter Oak National in 1915, Schu- macher of necessity had to continue hi:
 operations to cover up the shortage ther | created.
 Bank Examiner H. W. Scott arrived | today from Boston to investigate the
 matter. In a formal statement he ex
 plained how the peculations were mad, and how they escaped the attention O
 the federal examiners and auditors, al well as the private examiners called from time to time by the bank.
 Schumacher's arrest was the culmi nation of persistent and steady gruell ing to which he was subjected by Pres
 ident Leon P. Broadhurst, Vice Presidep | William B. Bassett and other officers n
 the bank since last Friday when tn
 shortage in the teller's account was frs
 discovered. Not until o'clock last eve
 ming, according to President Broadhurs did the bank officials get an admissio,
 from Schumacher about the shortages i his accounts. Try as the bank official
 might Schumacher positively refused f divulge what he did with the money h is accused of having embedded. Ac
 cording to the bank officials, Schumache made the statement that he did not pla the stock market and that he did no live highly. Schumacher is alleged [ have stated that the money he took fror the bank lust dribbled away"
