And so another jury has been allied
When a grand jury is called it is
not customary to state its purpose I'm.
I'll the time when it is officially con
yened, which in this instance, as the
above order shows, will be on Sept. 4
In this case, however, there can be
no doubt but what it is Judge Wall
DerS intention to investigate the fail
ure of the South Side Savings bank.
Many reports are rife with regard to
the acts of Cashier koetting For ex-
ample, it is said that he received a
deposit Of $1,70O few minutes before
closing hour the day before the bank
suspended, or in other words that he
received this deposit when he must
have known that the bank was in.
solvent. Consequently it is claimed
that he might be indicted on precisely
the same charge as were the officers
Of the Plankinton bank.
1t is further claimed that he showed
fayoritism insofar that shortly before
the aforementioned deposit was made
he refused Il deposit Of 1000 from
another person who was 4 friend of
his.
1t will be remembered that Cashier
koetting together with the bank S
ledger disappeared the night before the
same banks failure was announced,
or in other words, the night of the
same day that he received this deposit.
Furthermore, last Monday night the
president of the bank, c. C. TRIUMPH,
also disappeared, and at this writing
nothing definite is known of the where
aDoutS of either the missing president
or the cashier.
TRIUMPH has repeatedly claimed that
he had nothing whatever to do with
the management of the bank which he
states was left wholly in Koettine's
hands. Whether or not this be the
fact it in no wise relieves the presi-
dent Of his full share of the legal re-
sponsibility, and his disappearance only
goes to confirm all former suspicion
that the affairs of the bank were man
aged i'll most shiftless manner if not
worse
4 further cause for suspicion lies in
the fact that the entire capital of the
bank, 100000, was owned in equal
shares by the president and cashier.
both of whom are now missing
