A- Barker, ONLY THE FURNITURE LEFT Cashier of Massachusetts Bank Cleaned Out the Institution. North Attleboro, Mass.,, Des. 2\ .— Following the announcement of the in- solvency of the Jewelers’ National bank and the appointment of & re- ceiver, the Mason Box company of North Attleboro closed its factory for an indefinite period. The principal owner of the factory, Charles O, Ma- son, is also a director in the Jewelers’ bank and the company is said to have carried a large deposit in that institu- tion. The factory employs about 200 hands. The closing of the bank has not caused the shutting down of any other business concerns, but many have felt the blow .seriously. Every fraternal soclety in North Attleboro had a de- posit in the Jewelers’ bank and most of the churches as well, and all are in- convenienced by its closing. ‘While no official statement of the extent of the loss to the bank by the cperations of Cashier Frederick E. Sargeant, wio was found dead last Tuesday, has been made, a prominent banking man said that the amount wm be surprisingly large. According to this authority the shortage will' not fall far short of $250,000. The bank is capitalized at only $100,000. One of the bank directors, although declining to give figures on the prob- |+ able loss, said: “The only thing left is the furnt- | ture.” Boy Burns His Baby Sister.
