JAILED BANKERS Flit. PRISON BOOK WRONG

Apparent Shortage of $26,000 Located by Convicts.

Pittsburgh March 9. Convicted bankers, now prisoners in the western penitentiary here, have discovered an apparent discrepancy of more than $26,000 tn the accounts of the prison. The board of visitors appointed Henry Reiber, formerly paying teller of the Farmers’ Deposit National bank, now a convict, to audit the books of the institution. Finding an apparent discrepancy and being unwilling to assume all responsibility, Reiber obtained the assistance of William Montgomery, former cashier of the Allegheny National bank, and J. B. F. Rinehart, former cashier of the Farmers’ and Drovers’ National bank of Waynesburg, Pa., both serving time. They agreed with him in his findings. Warden William Johnson Is absent on leave.
