CROOK AND FORGER PLATTE VALLEY BANK CASHIER LEADS DOUBLE LIFE FOR FIFTEEN YEARS HE CONFESSES HIS GUILT Peculations Extending Over a Series of Years Finally Unearthed by the State Bank Examiner. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 6.-A crook and forger for fifteen years, while the public respected and trusted him. This has been the career of Cashier A. H. Gould, of the wrecked Platte Valley Bank of Bellwood, Neb. According to his own confession, he has uttered $45,000 in worthless paper, and until a few days ago escaped detection by a perfect chain of forgeries. In addition, he admits having defaulted to the amount of $5,000 by failing to make any records of certificates of deposits. The peculations of Gould are all the more wonderful because the capital stock of the bank was only $15,000, and the institution was inspected at regular periods by the state bank examiners. The plan followed by the cashier was novel and unique. He was a clever forger and adept in imitating the handwriting of others. His scheme was to forge the names of wealthy farmers in the vicinity of Bellwood to notes and then palm the worthless paper off on New York, St. Louis and Chicago banks. When one batch of notes would fall due he would forge still others to take the places of those maturing. Finally he grew careless and invented the names of imaginary farmers, and this led to his undoing. Bank Examiner Hartwell first grew suspicious of the amount of paper carried by the bank. He made some inquiries and found that $5,000 in notes had been sold to the First National Bank of Lincoln. He called at the latter institution and requested the privilège of examining the notes. Very few of the parties lived at Bellwood. Cashier Gould at first refused to give up $1,000 in cash to the bank examiner placed in charge by the state, and Attorney General Prout ordered his arrest. About that time the forged paper was discovered, and he was held for that offense. The stockholders of the defunct bank demanded $500,000 bail, and in default Gould was locked up. "I am up against it," he said, "and I'm not going to run." Speculation on the gra'n market, he said, dating back fifteen years, caused his downfall. On Jan. 3 the vault of the Bellwood bank was dynamited and totally destroyed. It was reported that several thousand dollars was taken. It is now suspected that Gould planned a fake robbery in order to cover up a portion of his forgeries. Gould was an active participant in church affairs, and comes from one of the best families in Nebraska,
