Warrants Issued for Bankers in Kansas City Embezzlement Case
Warrants are out for J. W. Richardson former president of the suspended American Union Trust company charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. A. R. Fuller secretary treasurer charged with embezzlement J. W. Thompson a director charged with obtaining money under false pretenses and J C Burch formerly a packing house watchman charged with obtaining money under false pretenses in connection with the suspension of the trust company. The complaints sworn by an assistant prosecuting attorney stem from actions by directors not implicated in irregularities who have since borrowed money to liquidate the bank. The foreseeing men face likely the only charges against directors or officers of the trust company and of the AU Night and Day bank which failed last July.
