TURNER GOES TO PRISON Former Chautauqua Bank Cashier Pleads Guilty After His Lawyer Tells Sensational Story Frank E.

Turner, former cashier of the defunct Citizens State bank of Chautauqua Springs, who fled from the country just before the failure of the bank and later voluntarily returned and gave himself up to the Chautauqua county authorities, yesterday entered a plea of guilty before Judge Ayres of the district court at Sedan and was senteneced "to the state penitentiary- for a term of from two "to fifteen years. Young Turner pleaded guilty on two counts, that of forgery and of receiving, deposits knowing at the time that the bank was in an insolvent condition. On the first charge he was sentenced from one to ten years, and on the second from one to five years, making a total sentence of from two to fifteen years. After announcing the intention of the defendant to plead guilty his lawyer, J. A.

Ferrell, told a rather sensational story of the bank's history and of how young Turner became entangled in a web of circumstances which finally brought about his own downfall and led him to prison. The judge and courtroom spectators listened to the narrative with profound interest. He told of how Turner went to work in the bank in 1910 as a bookkeeper, a position he held for three and a half years, at which time his grandfather, i. M. Van Deventer, bought the bank.

Before buying Mr. Van Deventer, so Mr. Ferrell stated, conferred with J. N. Dolley, then state bank commissioner, relative to the soundness of the institution and was told that the bank was perfectly solvent and in good condition.

Young Turner was made cashier, succeeding C. R. Walterhouse. About three weeks after becoming cashier Turner claims he found a letter in the bank addressed to Walterhouse which was from a Kansas City banking house thanking him (Walterhouse) for $1,00. The money represented a sum that had previously been paid to cover supposed loss in the robbery of the Citizens bank in 1908.

According to Turner's story the insurance company found out that the robbers did not get but about $8 in the robbery although the loss was reported at over $1,000 bv Walterhouse and that sum was paid. The insurance company then forced Walterhouse to refund the money. Turner says that he got after Walterhouse about the transaction and that he told him that he had paid back the insurance money out of his own funds, but that later he (Turner) discovered where it had been charged against the bank. Walterhouse was confronted with this fact and admitted the defalcation, so Turner says, and pleaded with him not to say anything about it and he would make the shortage good. Turner shielded him.

Later a note, purporting to have been signed by Mrs. Effie Wade, became due and when nayment was demanded she declared the note a forgery. Other similar forgeries were uncovered. Turner says that Walterhouse's shortage was over $5,000 and that he kept the former cashier from being exposed in hope that he would make the amount good. Walterhouse committed suicide.

Judge Ayres in passing sentence stated that even if Turner's story was 'true, he wrong rn shielding the real thief, and should be punished.
