Thurston v. United States
Thurston v. United States
Opinion of the Court
Thurston was convicted of the willful misapplication of the funds of a national bank, while he was manager of its discount department, in violation of R. S. § 5209 (Comp. St. § 9772).
Entries in the bank’s records disclosed the collection of $440 as interest on a certain account held by the bank, and a failure to give credit for a corresponding, or any, amount. That such failure was intentional, and not due to a mistake in bookkeeping, was indicated by the erasure of a credit of $440, and by the correct entry of other items of interest. All the bookkeeping entries mentioned, including the one that was erased, were in defendant’s handwriting.
The judgment is affirmed.
