Bank Employe
Pleads Guilty To
Embezzling $6,143
ANCHORAGE, (/P)— A bank
employe who admitted he took
bank funds to maintain a stan
dard of living equal to his position
in the community pleaded guilty
to embezzlement in third district
court Monday.
The defendant, Donald W. Ja
cobs, assistant cashier of the First
National Bank of Anchorage, was
sentenced to two years in prison,
suspended after U.S. Attorney
Earl Cooper told the court that
Dan Cuddy, president of the bank,
had recommended leniency.
Information filed with the court
accused Jacobs of embezzling
, $6,143 from the bank between
August 25, 1949, and Sept., 1951.
Cooper said no complaint was
ever filed formally against Jacobs,
one of Anchorage’s most promin
ent citizens. The defendant vol
untarily surrendered, after an in
vestigation disclosed a shortage
in bank funds, waived indictment
by a grand jury and pleaded
guilty to the information charging
him with the offense, the U.S.
attorney reported.
Cooper told the court money
involved was not depositors’ mon
ey, but money belonging to the
bank. He said he made this state
m e n t because Cuddy had in
formed him his recommendation
would be for a suspended sen
tence. Cooper said he concurred.
When the embezzlement was
discovered, the U. S. attorney
said, Jacobs freely admitted it.
Jacobs attorney, Paul Robison,
said the refendant came to An
chorage four years ago after three
and a half years in the Navy. Be
Treasurer of Democratic
National Committee Quits
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Sidney
Solomon resigned Tuesday as
treasurer of the Democratic Na
tional Committee.
He is the second top committee
official to quit within a week.
Chairman William M. Boyle, Jr.,
announced his resignation last
Saturday.
Solomon, a St. Louis insurance
man and friend of Boyle, disclosed
his resignation after a call on
President Truman.
He attributed his action entirely
to his belief that the new chair
man “should have free reins to
select” his own officials.
cause of his ability, the attorney
said, Jacobs quickly rose to a
position of responsibility in the
bank and to a position of promi
nence in civic affairs.
“His position in the community
required certain responsibilities,
certain standards of living that
he couldn’t get from a bank salary
so he resorted to this unfortunate,
illegal means of getting it,” Robi
son said.
The attorney said arrangements
already had been made to repay
the money. The defendant had a
small amount of property and
friends came forward with offers
of help, he said.
Jacobs, about 35, was a member
of the board of directors of the
Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce, and was active in the Sal
vation Army campaign fund, Red
Cross, Boy Scouts and iron lung
drives.
The defendant sat through the
short court proceedings with his
head bowed. He was visibly
moved and when he pleaded guil
ty his voice was barely audible.
