MARSHALL, June 9.-The only theme of
conversation is the Kirby defalcation, and
some very harsh comments are INDUCED in
by those whose savings are all in the bank.
They blame the officers for not nabbing
Kirby as soon as the shortage was known,
and also hint that the effort to catch Kirby
is more apparent than real. The hopeful
feeding that all would yet be well that was
manifested at the start is not so general
now and people who think their money
lost are becoming somewhat numerous.
Bank Examiner Wing is still in charge
