What w ere tho (lire* (OT4 ami other liiiiik officers tkt.ng that they did not know that Brown was living beyond hi* maana?

Why Is tt that not *ie of the other officers of the hank heard that he was a high roller?

Trie explanation given of the manner In which he managed 4o conceal hla thefts doss not appear to be re.isonable. Accord ing to the newi’qmprr accounta he was away from the bank fur quite awhile last summer. Why is It that the hank's losses were not discovered then?
