Corry, cashier of the Atlanta (Georgia branch of the Freedmen’s Saving bank and ‘Trust company, was arrested for embezzle- ment. The Atlanta branch makes returns of the business at regular intervals to the parent institution In thie city, and these statements made so poor a showing for the former institu- tion that something wrong was suspected, and Mr. A. M. Sperry, the general inspector of the freedmen’s banks, wae sent to Atlanta to make an examination. The deficit in Corry’s accounts was discovered on the 25th of January, and be evidently anticipated trouble, as on the day before he wrote to Sperry admitting he had taken some seven or eight thoasand doliars of the bank’s money, and showing where on his books to find the deficit. He did not state, how- ever, what he had done with the money. On th of January Sperry arrived at Atlanta Having, on examin: tion of the books, found the deticit, Sperry re- turned te Washington, and soon after his de- arture Corry returned to Atlanta. On Satar- an officer of the bank here telegraphed to e Corry arrested for embezzling $10,100 in United States currency, the property of the Freedmen’s Savings bank and Trust company. Corry was arrested at his residence near Atlan- ta, and on being asked by a reporter if he could explain the deficiencies in his account, said: ‘I can solemnly declare that | have never taken one dollarfrom the Freedmen’s bank, or any other bank, for speculative or personal use, and this [ can establish before the proper court and at the proper time. Beyond this I have no statement tomake.”” The accused has engag- ed counsel, and the trial will take place imme- | diately. Depositors in the bank will lose noth- ing by the defalcation, as under the charter the loss falls entirely upon the nt bank in Wash- ington.
