Officers After J.W. Roberts

Charged With Embezzlement of $11,000 from Buena Vista Bank

Buena Vista, Ga., Sept. 19 –

Directors of the Buena Vista Loan and Savings Bank have offered a reward of 
$250 for the arrest and delivery to the sheriff of Marion County of J.W. 
Roberts, formerly president of the bank, who disappeared, charged with 
embezzlement of $11,000 of the institution’s funds.

Official notice of the reward was made here today and caused considerable 
consternation, as the significance of the ex-president’s disappearance had not 
been generally known. While nothing definite has been learned of Roberts’ 
whereabouts, the report gained credence today that he had fled to Bermuda.

The proclamation of reward carries the following description of Roberts:

“Age, about 56, very deaf, uses trumpet; height about 5 feet 10 inches, thin 
gray hair; weight about 165 pounds, blue eyes, wears glasses, red complexion, 
clean shaven when last seen three weeks ago, rather retiring in manner, bottom 
front tooth out, walks with short steps and soft or light tread, talks low.”
