Frederick Paul, William L. Paul, Jr., Seattle, Wash., for appellant.
T. E. Munson, U. S. Atty., Juneau, Alaska, C. Donald O'Connor, Asst. U. S. Atty., Ketchikan, Alaska, for appellee.
Before DENMAN, Chief Judge, and ORR and CHAMBERS, Circuit Judges.
Jaynes appeals from the conviction on five counts of an indictment, all the sentences being concurrent. In this situation if the sentence on any one count is valid, there should be an affirmance.
Count four of the indictment charged:
"That on or about the third day of July, 1953, at Ketchikan, Division Number One, Territory of Alaska, Richard Jaynes, being then and there the Cashier of the First National Bank of Ketchikan, a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, did wilfully, unlawfully and feloniously make a false entry in a book of the said bank, to wit, a false entry in the Cashier\'s check register, by entering a cashier\'s check No. 22504, in the amount of $1,000, whereas in truth and in fact the said cashier\'s check, No. 22504, was not in the amount of $1,000, but was made instead, in the amount of $10,000, with the intent then and there to injure and defraud the said bank and to deceive any agent or examiner appointed to examine the affairs of said bank."
