CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT.
In this account much of the great
injury to poor people was done. In
Temple g. Workmans bank they i'm
agined they had positive security for
their little savings, and their all was
swept away. The list comprises
wealthy men and poor men; strangers
and citizens; married women and sim
gle women; every class of society is
represented from the boot black to the
banker. In looking over it we see the
names of farmers, merchanics, labor.
ers, washwomen, boot blacks, SEAM
stresses, milliners, s,superannuated PEN
siontrs, poor cripples and invalids. It
marks the wreck of poor mems for
tunes, it is the blasting of poor wo-
mems hopes, chaos Of financial mis-
cry that affords no sign of relief for
the invalids, cripples, orphans and
widows whose little savings are swept
away. We publish the list complete
as it appears on the record as follows:

BILLS PAYABLE.

The list of bills payable shows the
bank was having its notes discounted
rs early as last August and was then
required to furnish endorsers. AS en-
dorser on some Of the notes we find
the name of D. Freeman, one Of the
assignees. Examine carefully this
list which shows that the condition of
the bank was desperate several
months ago.
