Suspect Defaulter in 700000 Bank Embezzlement
New York City note teller Charles L Alvord of the First National Bank is a fugitive and defaulter by $700,000. The loss appeared after careful examinations and was concealed by balance book manipulation. Investigators link misappropriations to stock speculations and possible mail-influenced access to notes and checks. Alvord’s Maryland home life and public image contrasted with rumored gambling and river street dealings.
