FOR EMBEZZLING $194,000.

James Flood, of San Fraritlsco, Arrested for Bank Frauds. San Francisco, April 12.—James Flood, who was forced to resign last week as cashier of the Donohue & Kelly bank because of irregularities in his accounts, was arrested Monday night on a warrant charging him with embezzling $194,000 of the bank’s funds. When Flood was first retired his friends said he could make good his shortage, which was caused by overdraft by one of his assistants. Flood transferred his real estate to the bank, but since then it has been found his shortage is heavy.
