Thunderstruck and almost parlyzed, the cashier in many instances ha9 hot «r.ly given this bare-faced swindler access to the vaults, but on more than one occasion, as is reported, permitted him to carry away a no inconsiderable sum of currency, on the pretext that a mor* critical examination was neces­ sary in order to determine its genuine­ ness.
