...bounced; his $40,000 on deposit in a Blytheville (Ark.) bank had been withdrawn. Barton blandly explained this oddity: his brother, who disapproved of the deal when he turned over the check, had done the withdrawing from their joint account. But he could not explain away the fact that Seaboard Surety Co., which Barton had claimed would put up the bond, had no plans to do so at all.
