Appellate ruling increases ex cashier's debt to bank
Washington Ind December 11 The Appellate Court reverses the Daviess Circuit Court in Goshorn vs People's National Bank, holding the bank liable for a cashier's failure to remit depositor funds. The decision nearly raises ex Cashier Davis's defalcation by more than $17,000, with interest and costs likely over $2,000. Goshorn, a heavy depositor and stockholder, had sought to withdraw 5,000 to loan to a Louisville firm, but the cashier redirected the funds and kept the deposit memoranda in a vault. The bank contends the transaction was personal to the cashier, not bank business. the court rejects that view, affirming bank liability.
