A BOOKKEEPER IS ACCUSED Austin Lettish Allow a Bank Depositor to Overdraw His Account $7,800-Th Discharge of the Offlclul Brines the Mottor to Light. By the United Press. , New York, Dec. 2. A ltppla was caused in financial circles 'over the news. of another bank defalcation, with many of the curious features which have distinguished those In the Chem ical and In the Shoe and Leather bank! came to light yesterday. . In this last instance, the distinguish ing feature la the smallness of the amount which the bank will lose; hut, us in the other two cases, according: to the stories told about them, the guilty bank official' realized nothing from his wrong doing, and the money which was taken from the institution has gone into the pockets of a depositor. The Manufacturers' .National bank, located at 72 Broadway, Williamsburg, is out an amount said not to exceed $7,800 through the dishonesty of one of its trusted bookkeepers. This man was E. Austin Leltch, who had been con nected with the Institution for about four years. Curiously enough, Leltch was dis charged from 'the Manufacturers' Na tional bank about three months ago, while the defalcation only came to light during the last week. It was exposed through the change In bookkeepers, necessitated by. Leltch's dismissal, and when the guilty bookkeeeper was called to task he acknowledged what had been going on. The name of the depositor has not been announced. The officers of the bank hope to re cover the full amount, and for that rea son were averse yesterday to giving out the name of the depositor who re ceived It, as their efforts to get hold of the $7,800 were only made during the last two days. Leltch was first 'employed by the Manufacturers' bank four years ago, as a general clerk. President Loughran, who had previous to this time befriend ed him, secured the position for him. He was promoted about two years ago to the position of bookkeeper In charge of some of the depositors' accounts. He was found to be rather careless about his work and Inattentive to the duties that . devolved upon him, and finally it became .necessary, three months ago, to discharge him because he persisted in reaching the bank late In the morning. . No Suspicion Entertained. Not a suspicion was entertained at that time that there was anything wrong with his accounts or that he was In any manner dishonest. Another of the general clerks was promoted to take his vacated place, and, through motives of prudence, the bank officials made an examination of Leltch's books, so as to satisfy themselves that they correctly balanced, v It was not until a week or so ago, the Work haying progressed in a slow man ner, that the discovery was made by the new bookkeeper that the bank's ac. counts would not balance within about $7,000 or more. Then a careful Inquiry was set on foot and It soon developed that there was a shortage of $7,800. President Loughran sent for Leltch. who lives at 155 Wash Ington avenue, and when the dis charged employe reached the bank 'he was informed of the discovery that had been made and asked what he knew about (t. Leltch confessed - that he had con nived at the fraud. He admitted that this depositor had Induced him to per mlt of the overdraft on plea that the money would be returned very soon and no one would be the wiser. This oc curred about' -a year ago! Was Put Off from Time to Time. Leltch had endeavored, he asserted, to compel this depositor to make good his account so that he could square the books and save the batik from loss and himself frorn exposure, but said the man put him off from time to time .with promises, and compelled him to observe Becrecy because of his own complicity In the defalcation. So the matter had gone on until this accidental discovery. President Loughran sent for this de positor, who did not respond to the call. His father, instead, went to the bank and was there informed of the son's act. The father himself failed re cently, and it will be very difficult for the bank to recover the money form either him or his son, though the of ficlals hope it can be done. It Is a comparatively small amount. as the bank's officials view It, because the Manufacturers' National is one of the oldest and most Btable Institutions in Brooklyn.. It- has a capital of $250,000, and a surplus of $275,000, with a pre mium or. $50,000.; s '., ''Notice to Humorists. From Tid-Blts.

Sores Appeared on My Face tnd hands and gradually Increased in number until they reached to my shoulder. The doctors laid It was the worst case of scrofula they ever aw and also weut so far as to say It was In curable. I tried ointments and other remedies but to no avail. A friend recommended Hood's Hood'sCures Barsaparllla, and although I was completely dis couraged, as a last chance I resolved to clve It a trial.
