- W2325460901 abstract "p THE BIOGRAPHERS of William Sidney Porter, better known as 0. Henry, leave the impression that Porter was not guilty of the charge of embezzlement for which he was sent to prison. Statements that the charges were without foundation and that the accused was an innocent man in spite of the fact that he served a sentence in the penitentiary are not infrequent.' The records on file and the testimony of many who were intimately acquainted with the circumstances under which the charges were made and the trial conducted do not agree with the published statements of the biographers. The truth is that there seems to be little doubt of the technical guilt of Porter. His transgression of the law, when examined carefully with all the facts in mind, need not put him into the criminal class; on the contrary, the situation under which he committed an offense offers excuse for his action and the attitude of his friends reveals to posterity the inherent nature of the man. This paper will discuss the evidence that points to 0. Henry's culpability as charged in his trial. It will also show that the manner in which business was transacted in many Texas banks was lax and that the esteem in which Porter was held protected him from public condemnation. Porter came to Austin from Hall's Ranch in LaSalle County in I884. After a residence of seven years in Austin he secured a position in the First National Bank, where he served as teller and bookkeeper for a period of four years, i89i to the end of I894. His chief preparation for the work in the bank was the experience that he had had as a draftsman in the Land Office the preceding four years. In the summer of i894 a bank examiner found a discrepancy in the books of the bank. Because of his position, not because of" @default.
