 Borrowings Arouse Suspicion
 However. it is learned from one with whom Mir. Cilpatric talked lot and knew very well. that Mr. Gilpat- ric personal aita as disclosed through his borrowings here and there and of his almost frantic attempts to raise money in Hartford and else where on doubtful securities. were m all probability the chief things that led to National Bank Examiner Caro- ivan starting to check ur on certain phases of the local banks activities. li Mr. 6ilpatrie was borrowing Co 8 tremendous extent. ia comparison with hls salary and probable income from private fortune, this fact would nat arasly arouse suspicious and If course lead to a most thorough scruti- ny of his own and the bank business dealings.
 Defaleations Quite Reecn,
 ons question which has occupied the attention of about everyone in this vicinity. since the closing of the bank. has had to do with gossip surrounding the probable time at which Mr. Gil- patric began appropriating securities in the possession of the bank for his own uses to recover on probable losses or over extensions in personal invest ments upon which he could not real ze at once. Neither the bank exam iners nor Receiver Coffin will say word on this or any other point, for that matter.
 However, il is talked on the street among those who believe they have ae- curate information. that MT. Gilpat- ric's borrowings from his hank did not cover the period of time that las been often stated in the press. That the defaleations began within two and a half years. Is the information one rs- eeives by having his ears close to the ground. and one is further informed at sundry sources that the moving Of the bank into temporary quarters on Union street and the period that the hank did business there. afforded an excellent opportunity for one to take securities. Tor Instance, without atoos- ing particular suspicion. The secur- ities could have been misplace" in the moving and had not been found. This would be a feasible answer to questions that depositors are known 10 have made during that period. In fact. one such denositor is reported 10 have made the statement that he re- ceived just this sort of an answer from Mir. Gilpatrie when he inquired about some of his securities which he had left there for safe keeping. His alarm snbsided some months latef when he again came into possession af his valuabies. as they had been ''found.
