Missing cashier linked to $85,000 defalcation at Tipton bank
Tipton Indiana July 28 deposits total $800,000 and the First National Bank faces a cash shortfall of at least $60,000 with $25,000 already missing. Noah Marker, the distant cashier, has disappeared and is suspected of absconding with cash as anxious depositors gather outside. It is alleged that interest bearing accounts totaling about $400,000 were manipulated, though the extent remains unclear. The bank, once prosperous under the Marker brothers, has paid $200,000 in dividends on $100,000 capital and loans have been heavy for years.
