Confession of a Bank Cashier Fleeing After Speculation
A Missouri story reports Almon B. Thompson, a Provident Savings Bank cashier, writing a full confession before fleeing. He details years of speculation, misuse of bank funds, debts, and attempts to repay, begging mercy for his wife and children and promising to work honestly under another name. He cites forged notes and false entries, totaling about 45,000 dollars, and expresses remorse and intent to repay if possible. In the same dispatch a farmer in Marreons Iowa traps raccoons using morphine by mistake, leading to a satirical note on the misadventure.
