MARIETTA BANK
HEARING NEAR
Marietta, Ga., April 16.—Pleat
of not guilty will be entered by
George H. Sessions and A. 11. Gil
bert, former cashier and vice-presi
dent, respectively, of the Marietta
Trust and Banking Company, charg
ed with embezzlement in connection
with the disappearance o f$283,000
of the institution's funds, when the
cases are called for trial here Thurs
day, Assistant Solicitor Bindley
Camp announced Saturday.
Kach man has admitted the short
age, State bank officials declare, but
will plead not guilty to the charge
in order that a Cobb County jury
may pass on the case. Several cases
of minor importance scheduled to be
heard during the first three days of
the week caused Solicitor Camp to
request that the bankers’ trial be
continued from Monday until Thurs
day.
The cases will be tried before
Judge W. E. H. Searcy, Judge Newt
Morris has been engaged to repre
sent Gilbert, while members of the
law firm of Anderson and Roberts
have been retained by Sessions.
Arrest of the men followed the
discovery three months ago of an
alleged shortage of $200,000 of the
trust company’s funds by bank ex
aminers. The bank immediately
was ordered closed and warrants is
sued for the two officials. Further
investigation resulted in the amount
of the allegend shortage being
placed at $233,000 by the examin
ers. Sessions and Gilbert were ad
mitted to bond soon after thejf had
been taken into -custody.
