Finds Shortage
in Prison Books
Warden of Penitentiary in Pittsburg
Will Be Aiked to Explain
Discrepancy.
PITTSBURG, Maroh . Convicted bank
ers, now prisoners In the western peni
tentiary here, have discovered an apparent
discrepancy of more than 13000 In the
account of the penitentiary, and It la sail
that the amount may be found to be even
larger. The Board of Visitor of the west
ern penitentiary some time ago appointed
Henry Briber, formerly paying teller of
the Farmer Deposit National bank, now
an Inmate of the penitentiary, to auJIt
the books of the Institution.
Finding an apparent discrepancy and
being unwilling to assume all responsi
bility, Relber secured the assistance of
William Montgomery, former cashier of
the Allegheny National bank, and J. B. V.
Rlnehart, former cashier of the Farmer
and Drovers National 1ank of Waynes
burg, Pa., both convict in th weaCert
penitentiary, who are said to hav agreed
with htm In his findings.
Report of the alleged shortage was made
today to th Board of Visitors, who are
awaiting the return of Warden William
Johnson before making further Investiga
tion. It Is said to be probable th alleged
discrepancy may be aocountod for, by bad
bookkeeping.
