Methods He Employed As clerk in charge of the proof de- partment of the bahk Porter had the handling of all deposit slips which are by him distributed to the elerks In the departmént for record, and the method by which he covered up bhis defalcations was to hold over from day to day such deposit slips as would successfully cover up his own personal shortage, this-money instead of then becoming an over balance in the bank would be applied to his own personal account and checked out ac- gording As the amount of the shortage grew from day to day it was necessary that the amount represented by deposita slips be increased and to accomplish this successfully it was necessary for Porter to be at the bank every day during the last year, the period of defalcations, otherwise the shortage would have been detected sooner, Speculation in stocks was the cause of Porter's financial troubles.
