JUDGE BELIEVES BANK
 EMPL0YES UNDERPAID
Exercises Mercy in Passing Sentence on Cashier and Assistant Guilty
 of Misapplying Funds.

New York, Aug. 9.--Expressing the belief that the defendants did not re- ceive salaries commensurate with their living requirements, Federal Judge Sheppard exercised mercy in passing sentence on bank cashier and his assistant who pleaded guilty to misapplication of $5,50O of the banks money in the last two years.
 H. B. Hundall, cashier of the First National bank of Amenia, N. Y, and Mrs. Judith B. Demming, cashier, were sentenced to9serve one day each in the custody of United States Mar shal Mccarthy and to pay fines of $500 and S250, respectively.
 The judge pointed out that neither of the defendants used the stolen money, in speculation and that the bank had been reimbursed by them Tor it's loss. He criticized the bank officials, however, for attempting to conceal the defalcations by permitting the defendants to make restitution without calling the thefts to the at tention of the police.
