STATE MAY LOSE
$4,000 ADDITIONAL
Gilpatric Increased Connecti-
cut Deposit by That Sum
Before Bank Crashed.
BY the Associated Press.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, August 19.-Ac-
counts of the State treasury, which
were taken over yesterday by Capt.
Anson T. McCook, the new State
treasurer, showed that the State de-
post in the First National Bank of
Putnam was increased from $4,000
to 100000 within the past two months.
The amount of the States deposit in
the bank wrecked by the defalcation
of G. Harold Gilpatric. it's cashier.
and former State treasurer, previous
ly had been set down as 100000.
AS State treasurer, Gilpatric made
the additional deposit which put the
total of the States funds in his bank
$4,000 over the legal limit, soon after
lis return from the Republican ma
tional conv"ption at Cleveland in
June. which he attended as a guest.
Deputy State Treasurer Thomas H.
Judd of New Britain promptly pro-
tested to Mr.. Gilpatric that the addi-
tional deposit was illegal. as the
State law permitted such deposits
only to the extent of 80 per cent Of
the capital, undivided profits and sur
plus of the bank, which. in this case
was approximately 100000. Gilpatric
gave an explanation for his action and
Judd was overruled.
Deputy Treasurer Judd last night
confirmed this information, but de-
clined to comment He went to Put
nam the Sunday following Gilpatric's s
attempted suicide, and went over the
situation there with directors of the
involved bank with view to pro-
tecting the States interests. At that
time the officials entertained hopes of
saving the institution and rather than
precipitate run on the bank, Judd
did not withdraw the States deposit.
