Admitted Forging Notes, Using Money To Play Stock Mar- Deputy Commissioner Says Institution and Deposi- Protected Against Loss by Bond. tors Are and fresh atter twe | E. R. Snelgrove and Victor ]».nm,.l assistant treasurers, and Vincent Smith, discount clerk, all of the Commercial Trust company, were today taken into custody following a confession to having forged notes using dummy names, to the extent of hetween $50,000 and %60,000, the same being used to obtain money for cover- ing shortages in the stock mar- ket. The bank was victimized to this extent although it was publicly stated by officials of the company and L. E. Shippe, deputy state bank commissioner, that there would be no loss te the bank because of the fact that it is covered against loss of this character by a surety bond, The bank is perfectly solvent, despite the loss, because of the insurance, There has been a suspicion of unusual practices at the bank for some time and it was ex- plained this noon that the three finally decided to a full confes- sion of their method of obtain- ing money, They had been, it is said, playing the stock market heavily and the recent recession proved too much for their re- ources. In an effort to recoup it is claimed, they did the usual thing, put the burden upon their bank, using the names of some customers and of people whose names they obtained from the telephone hook on forged notes, replacing the money with these notes. State bank examiners and the local officials of the Commercial Trust got upon the trail of the forgeries and started to trace them down, whereupon the three suddenly decided to con- fess, Following the verbal confes- sion, made to one of the officers, it is understood that the trio went fuither into the details of their alleged plot today before tate officials.
