the bank 816000 for which he put up as security warehouse receipts for wheat the bank officials never suspected that the receipts were not as good as gold until quite recently when the what was looked for and found wanting then williams was also looked for but was likewise found wanting he had skipped across the bor der twojor three days ago the bank offi cials wereinformed that he was in roches
