Arrosted, Yesterdiyy Charged With
Having Taken $7,500 From Blum’s
Bank—Company Insured.
Charles A. Eby, who has been con
nected with S. Blum & Co.’s bank in
Cordova for several years as cashier,
was arrested yesterday charged with
embezzling $7,500 of the funds of the
bank. The arrest caused a sensation
in the railroad town as the accused
had occupied a prominent position in
the social and business life of Cor
dova since his arrival there five years
ago. The warrant upon which he was
arrested was sworn out by the Amer
ican Surety Company, who bonded the
accused in the sum of $10,000. He was
given a preliminary hearing yester
day afternoon before Commissioner
Adams and was bound over to the
grand jury with bail fixed at $5,000.
The system of peculations is believ
ed to have extended over a long per
iod of time as the bank offic’als had
the utmost confidence in his honesty
and integrity. The officials of the
bank have, however, known of the.
shortage for several weeks and a no
tice was recently published announc
ing that he was no longer connected
with the bank. The warrant upon
which he was taken in charge is as
follows:
mat said unas. a. r.Dy on tne I7tn
of February, 1914, was ah officer, ag
ent and employe of S. Blum & Co.,
as cashier of their bank, had in his
possession and under his care the sum
of $7,500, which money came in his
possession and under his control by
virtue of his employment in the bank
and was the personal property of S.
Blum & Co.; that he unlawfully, wil
fully and feloniously did embezzle
and fraudulently convert the same to
his own use.”
The bank will not lose a dollar, as
the surety company have already wir
ed for a statement and will make an
immediate payment of the shortage.
Experts are working on the books to J
uncover all peculations and will have 1
a statement in a few days.
The American Surety company,
however, will prosecute the cashier,
who is now in the Cordova jail, as he
is unable to secure the necessary
bail.
$300 Reward:
The above amount will be paid by
the undersigned to any person or per
sons furnishing information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the
party or parties who on the firs' of
March, 1914. tampered with and in
terrupted the service of the trans
mission line supplying the undersign
ed company with electric current at
Valdez, Alaska.
