BANKS LIABILITY
 DEPENDS ON FACT
State Must Prove S20,000 Was Deposited In the First Ma
 tional Bank
Failure to Satisfy Receiver May Cause
 Litigation

The State Treasury Department is making preparations to prove that the proceeds of a s20,0 1000 check drawn by Assistant State Treasurer Thomas H. Judd in favor of the First National Bank of Putnam actually reached the Putnam bank Tn the investigation SO far made by the State Treasurer some queer facts have been brought to light
 lnasmuch as the books of the Putnam bank fail to disclose the re- ceipt of the mony by the bank the receiver has called upon the state Co file extraordinary proofs that the money did in fact reach the bank. l. .- c9ntended that if the mony was taken before it reached the Putnam oark the bank is not liable for the money having been misapuFopriated State Treasurer Anson B McCook feels that proof submitted bv the
 -ate is ample but on the advice of the Attorney General is making s minute investigation af the whole ausaetion.
 The cheek for s20.000 was drawn 9n June 27th last. payable Co the First National Bank. Putnam. Spec ial Account 4 peculiar feature of the negotiation of the cheek is that II cleared the Merchants National Bank of Boston on the same day that t was drawn in Hartford
 lt is not known as to hoW the cheek could have reached Boston the same day and no suspicious have been arr reused by the quick negotiation. al aE. cheeks with deposits slips by mail to the corresp spondent bank l. is as- sumed that the former State Treas urer must have at least carried the check to Putnam. Even had he done this r would have been almost im- possible to mail the letter here and have t reach Boston before the banks closed for the day 4 messenger could have gone direct from Hart ford Co Boston by train. and possibly by automobile. f the start had been made early in the morning
 lt would appear that q great deal depends upon whether t can be prov en that the large sum of money ever did reach the Putnam bank If t did. and was taken from the bank. the bank would be liable. If t did not reach the bank there is grave doubt as Co the banks liability Co the state.
 As proof of it's claim. the state treasury has filed with Receiver Golf fin this week the cancelled check. en- dorsed bv both the Putnam and Mer- chants National Banks, the states pass book in which it is credited with the s2o. 900 deposit on June 27. and a record of interest money on the deposit received by the state.
 Attorney General Hesley had an interview with the former State Treasurer in New Haven. Mir. Hea- ley says he was told by the former treasurer that he never took one cent of the states money He laid his trouble to advancing loans to manufacturing concerns and especi- ally to a second loan made the Non- son Worsted Company of Monson, Mass. now in the hands of a stock holders committee among which is Receiver Coffin of the Putnam bank

OTIS SKINNER LAUDS ACTORS
 UNDER PROBE

0TS SKINNER, noted actor,
 wTho is in Birmingham this week,
 was much amused over the in- vestigation being made in Washing ton as to prominent actors and actresses being paid to visit Presi- dent Cooledge. He said that John Drew, one of the accused men, the dean of American players, was so far above such an act of impropriety as to render the situation absurd. Mir. Skinner seemed to resent the inference that men like John Drew, Raymond Hitchcock and men of that type could be compensated for manu- featuring fictitious enthusiasm for any candidate.
 Ut is Imaginable" said Mir. Skin ner, "were it not tragic to see our law makers and presumably influ- ential and busy men chasing such mares nest. There isn't enough money in this country to buy John DreW on such proposition as that or anything involving the surrender of hNs high sense of honor or deceHcy."
