Blakeley v. First National Bank

This is an action to recover a sum of money that plaintiffs allege was deposited in the Wasco County Bank at The Dalles, Oregon, and which deposit defendant assumed and agreed to pay. Defendant denies that any sum was so deposited or that it ever agreed to pay the same. For a further answer, it alleges that said sum was embezzled by plaintiffs’ own confidential clerk and that no such deposit had ever been made. The reply denied the new matter.

The cause was tried to a jury which returned a verdict for plaintiffs in the full amount claimed. Judgment was entered on the verdict. Defendant appeals.
