ADMITS DEFALCATION
Cashier, Following Vice Presidents
Lead, Confesses to Mis-
appropriation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
DETROIT. April 21.-A second con-
fession of misappropriation of funds
of the Crosse Pointe Savings Bank
was announced by the sheriffS office
today. following the arrest last night
Of Albert E. Kerby, cashier of the
institution. Kerby was arrested after
Charles D. Ransom, vice president Of
by voluntarily appearing and an
nouncing that for nearly five years
he had appropriated to his own use
| funds belonging to the institution.
Kerby estimated. according to the
sheriff's office. that his speculations.
extending over period of four years,
would not exceed $4,000. The amount
of RanSom's shortage has not been
definitely established, although he de-

would yield between $4,000 and
100000, and cover the amount.
There was no connivance between
the two bank officials. they asserted.
Both declared they appropriated the
funds for investment in projects they
believed would net them considerable
gain.
Their method, according to their
confessions, was to credit deposits by
patrons in the pass books but not on
the books of the bank. When with
drawals were made by customers
whose deposits had not been properly
recorded, amounts necessary to meet
the withdrawals would be transferred
from the account of a larger deposit
tor. This necessitated the main
tenance by Kerby and Ransom of a
detailed record of each transaction.
Both said they followed this prac-
tice for more than four years.

CHICAGO. April 21-Summerlike 20
weather and timely rains, improving
the crop outlook, have eased the ten
sion in the wheat market this week,
but only after a new high-price rec
ord for the season had been touched
by the July delivery. Compared with
week ago. wheat this morning was
z to 1S lower, with corn showing

and provisions at a setback of 81 to

Until near the close of the week the
outlook was that the domestic winter
crop of wheat would be 46,000,000
bushels less than was harvested in
1922. and Nebraska, particularly,
would yield but one third to half a
crop. High winds and dust storms
were reported as prevailing in Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Coupled with that condition. seeding

circumstances. were more than OFF,
set when widespread moisture and
warmth came to the rescue.
Some bearish effects In the wheat
market followed the decision of the
United States Supreme Court uphold
ing the grain futures act. The de-
clines which values underwent In
that connection, however. proved to
be brief. and throughout the week.
the course Of the market hinged in
the main upon greatly varying crop
probabilities dependent upon the
weather. Revised crop estimates
from India had some bearish influence
as the week approached an end.
Corn and oats took their cue from

indicating that this season would
witness enlarged planting of both the
feed grains.
Accumulating stocks, especially of
lard. acted as a weight on the pro-
vision market.
