“Uncle Billy absent mindedly forgot to go to the teller window to make the weeks deposit in Potter’s bank. Potter pocketed the money to put Bailey S&L out of business.”
He didn’t forget to go to the window, he forgot the MONEY. He left the money on the slip table when he did indeed go to the teller line. That letting go of the money is what caused all the hoo-hah.
Actually, Uncle Billy got distracted boasting about Harry’s CMoH and folded the deposit ticket and cash into the newspaper which he then thrust at Potter in punctuation of his speech.
When Potter opened the newspaper, the $5000 fell into his lap and he made as quick a getaway out of the bank as his wheelchair would allow.
There we go!Thanks.
