INDIANA BANKING COMPANY.
Receiver Ritter Finally in Full Possession
Some of the Unwritten History.

Receiver Ritter has finally assumed full con-
troll of the affairs Of the Indiana Banking Com
pany, having receipted to Mr. Landers for all
the assets yesterday. Mr. Ritter has very wisely
concluded to remove the notes, books and papers
OF the bank from their present location, and
hereafter he will be found at the rooms of the
Indianapolis National Bank, where he will settle
up the business. Yesterday Messrs. Malott
Yandes and Frenzel continued the apprasement
OF the bills receivable, but the work is not yet
complete. Considerable real estate that belonged
TO the bank but which was in the name OF John
J.. Ketcham on the county record, was formally
transferred to Mr.. Ritter. That gentleman
stated to Journal reporter that he was endeav-
oring In every way to speedily arrive at a con
elusiOn regarding the real condition of affairs
but did not think he wonld be able to make
public statement before the middle of next week
1t was learned from another source that in
the matter of appointing II receiver for the bank
something like sharp practice was attempted,
but was unsuccessful as Judge Walker took the
matter into his own hands. When it def
nitely known that Landers was to be removed
the creditors agreed to recommend either Mr.
Wallace or Mr.. Ritter They did not know that
the former was Ineligible, but the bank officials
ana their attorneys were aware of this fact for
they knew that Mr.. Wallaces name was on a
note In the bank They offered no objection
however, 20 MS appointment, ana IL IS claimed
that their scheme was to walt for Mr.. Wallace to
return to the city, go quietly with him into
court. where he would make known his dIsqual-
ifcation, and then get the Judge to appoint an
other receiver of their own choice, as there
would be no creditors there to enter an objec-
zion. Judge Walker, however, had some views
