Embezzlement Charge Drives Man to Death in Ind
Naplesville Indiana June 23 50 year old bookkeeper Patterson died today from effects of acid after confessing from his hospital bed to embezzling 147000 from Citizens State Bank which closed its doors this morning.

The State Bank of Noblesville closed amid a sizable shortage under investigation and Patterson’s case casts a shadow over Noblesville area banking.
