BANK FUNDS STOLEN
THIEF TO CATCH A THIEF A GILBERTIAN SITUATION. i By Telegraph—Press Association—-Copyright.J Received Nov. 17, 1.5 a.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. William Scheels, manager of the Chatham National Bank, was specially selected by the directors to catch a thief who was committing speculations, but Scheels himself had been dipping into the till for seven years.
The humour of all this bothered him, so he confessed, giving the date and amount of every theft, totalling over £BOOO.
The police have named him as the most helpful embezzler they have ever got, and the judge let him off with one year’s imprisonment.
