United States Bank Examiner Tucker seized the German National Bank of Newport Kentucky and posted a closure notice while an informal probe showed bookkeeper and assistant cashier Frank M Brown missing with a preliminary shortage near two hundred one thousand dollars. Brown, with eighteen years at the bank, is said to have handled operations back a decade. The bank has capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars and its assets, including real estate, do not cover the shortage.
