Admits Taking $50,000 1
From Loan Company
In Six Years I
DENVER, Colo. (AV-Embeule-! 1
ment of nearly $50,000 over six's
years from a loan company here : f
was charged today to its woman :
cashier, Mrs. Cora Zidan, a mild- ;,j
mannerea matron 01 au.
Mrs. Zidan, who authorities said
signed a statement that she took
the money, remarked afterward: I
I don t know why I did it. I
didn't want to do it, but I got
started and couldn't quit."
She was employed by the Den
ver Discount Co. and Allied Cred
it Corp., a joint firm. She had
worked for the company 10 years.
Her salary was S240 a month.
After arraignment, she was re
leased under $2,500 bond.
Ray Humphreys, an investiga-l
tor for the district attorney's of
fice, disclosed the following details:
Mrs. Zidan admitted taking $48,-
000 to $50,000 at the rate of $10,000
a year until last month, when a
fellow employe questioned her
records.
To inquiries concerning what
she did with the money the cash
ier replied: "Mismanagement, I
guess. I don t know where It went
myself." She said she owes a
$13,000 mortgage on her home,
others on two cars.
"Quite a bit of the money went
toward caring for my husband,
but not all of it," she said. "He's
been in the hospital -or sanitarium-
11 times in the past three
years."
Her husband John, 40, operates
a west Denver gas station.
Mrs. Zidan told investigators
she took money from the cash
drawer and replaced it with
checks received in the mail as
home mortgage payments. She
said familiarity with the opera
tions of auditors enabled her to
adjust her accounts before the
books were checked.
Synopsis: Our search for the
pot of gold took us from the
brownies to the Witch of With
erspoon. She said she got her
gold from Gustavius the Giant.
While we waited for the giant I
suddenly began Jo turn to stone.
Chapter 15
THE GIANT
It was true. I was turning to
stone. I had lost all feeling in one
of my hands. The fingers were
pay and stiff and when I raised
my hand it was heavy like a
stone. i
The Witch of Witherspoon threw j
her arms around me. "What is
happening to him?" i
"The sorcerer sprinkled a magic ,
lormula on him," said McGillicud-1
dy. "It was meant to turn him into
gold ra three days."
"But surely the three days are
n't up yet!" I cried.
"Not yet," said the elf. "We still
have time."
But I knew he was only trying
to cheer me up and he didn't really
have much hope left. I tried to be
brave, too, and not notice my
hand. The three of us sat there
and waited and waited. Finally,
the witch said in a whisper, "He
comes! Listen!"

I listened and. sure enough, I
