which suspended several months ago
and resumed few weeks since, stopped
payment yesterday and will close up
lts business. Linus M. Price, of the
treasury Department, has been appoint-
ed Receiver of the Bank. The suspen.
sion is due to the fact that lack of pub
lie confidence in the concern since its
suspension prevented it from doing apy
large business. The immediate Causs q
of the stoppage was the maturing Of
$500, 900 on Saturday, which went to
protest, the bank being unable to make
payment. 1t is understood that the
depositors will be paid in full, but that
the original stockholders will lose their
original investment Of 100000.
1t is stated that the suspension of the
sentence Of Boyle, the counterfeiter, at
Chicago, was the result of con ference
between the Attorney General and the
Secretary of the Treasury. Recent dis
closures before the Grand Jury at
Washington indicated that the parts
OF the plate from which the $1,000 coun-
terfelt bond was made were genuine,
not counterfeit. One of the reasons for
the suspension of the sentence Is hope
of obtaining information, through
Doyle or his friends, (which will re-
veal the true history of the stolen $1,000
bond plate"
