"Kirst of all I stole $1000 iu silver from the vault and covered up the shortage by making a fictitious entry In one of the books.' Then,- when a check for $10,000 had passed through my hands and from the bookkeeper to the cashier and then to the state ment clerk,' I got It again and made another entry of It. After It passed through' the various hands a second time I stopped it again. Later, when another $10,000 reached the bank from another Institution, I took the first one to the clearing house and got gold certificates for it. "I left Spokane immediately after getting the money and went to Port land, where I opened an account under the assumed name of Harry Moore.
