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 '.,

The Worst Case the Doc

Hood's Sarsnparllla Perfectly Cured
" C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. :
"Dear 8lrs:-I wish to testify to the great
value of Hood's Sarsaparllla. For some time I
had been troubled with scrofula, which early
last winter assumed a very bad form.
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. After taking one bottle I noticed the sores
had commenced to heal. After the sixth bottle
They Were All Healed.
I continued to take It, however, until I had used
nine bottles, and now I am perfectly well."
