Attorney Oeneral Front, who waa tba only member of tho board in Lin coln at the time, Inatrncted the chief clerk of the banking department to coma here and take charge of tho inatltutlon. Ha ar rived Saturday morning and waa followed a few hour later by Bask Examiner Hart well. The clerk bad poated notice on tha door In tba morning to tha effect that tho bank would remain temporarily closed. Mad the Loot Complete.' tt appear from eloae examination of the booh- and record of tho bank tbat Chamberlain had been unlawfully manipu lating tha bank's fund for aome time, poa slbly tw months. It has been found tbat Chamberlain not only took a large block ;of eeeurtties, but aereral thousand dollars of cash and eight exchange aa well, the exact amount of which, however, has not been determined. Chamberlain waa an ex pert bookkeeper. Numerous cases have been found where be took three notes for single loan. All of these notes be nego tiated with different institutions. Borne of tha money received from the sal of these duplicate notaa h would turn Into tha bank, crediting one account and debiting another In a manner which completely baf fled tba bank examiner and others who inspected the books and records prior to the failure. The patrons of the Chamberlain banking house bad Implicit confidence in the cashier. -This is shown in his inducing them to sign duplioate notea. He told the customer that he wished the aecond or duplicate note to keep In th bank, ths original baring been negotiated. He aald thla waa necessary to meet the rigid requlrementa of ths bank examiners. Ths unsuspecting patrons signed the dupllcatea, which were afterwarda sold to other banka. None Pf ths borrowers ques tioned th motives of the caabler, nor did they notice tbat the aecond or third notea they signed were : jnafle , out In original form, with nothing Vpon them to snow Jiat they were duplicates. t Swindles a Tra.tln Farmer. l.Several month ago Charlea White, a farmer residing lx mile from Tecumseh, was summoned to the- offlce of Cashier Chamberlain. Mr, WMis waa a borrower of the bank.. ' " "Aa gn accommodation 1 Fish you to give me a; mortgage to secure your loan," said Chamberlain t$ the farmer. "I don't de mand thl a aurety for myself. It I im ply because I wish to negotiate tha not and it will b easier to do that with the mortgage than without It." Chamberlain had the 'mortgage prepared and It waa duly signea ny wnue. Tu Swii waa for $1.(00 and tha mortgage waa tor th full amount. Th property listed waa cattle, supposed by Whit to be th prop erty of Chamberlain. In looking over th steels th mortgage was found and upon Investigation It waa learned tbat ths cat tls Hated therein was th property of Fred Halatead and bad been since sevoral montha before the mortgage waa algned. Whit aa serts that th brand of th cattle was in aerted by Chamberlain without hie know! edr or consent.

Jt la .claimed by the representatlvea of th banks that nearly all of them are rein forced by additional security, upon which they, can easily recover any loss that might otherwise b sustained. Chamberlain kept a discount register in the bank, aa required by law, but It la known now that he frequently negotiated notes without recording them or making any record whatever of the tranaactlon. The notes Chamberlain took with blra when be left the bank laat week were re placed I by paat due, cancelled and worth less securities. It la evident - that tha cashier often kept note after th loana were paid back to th bank, for a 'large number of tha notes foind In the 'pile bar been charged oH It th bank's books, In ' Mead of returning th notes 'to charged ft to the j customer, he either retained them In hie personal possession or nego tiated those which we're not yet due. "' " Several men have been found who ac cepted Chamberlain's personal receipt In lien of th notes. To these men Chamber lain explained that the note were In the hands of other basks, but would come back In a few days and then bo returned.
