TACOMA, June is.-fSpecial. II On the
claim that deposit of s242 made May ..
two days before the State. savings bank
closed, was special trust deposit, c. Ill.
Plass appeared before the superior court
today and asked for the return of his
money. II was shown that for some days
before the bg. closed. and at or before
the time Plass deposit was made, the
bank officials had placed deposits in envel-
opes, and when check was presented
against these deposits The check was paid
out of the respective deposits in the en-
yelopes. and that at the time the bank
closed, the balances remaining in the en-
velopes were ordered placed in the general
fund. and that these balances constituted
the actual cash funds on hand when the
bauk suspended. The court ordered an
investigation into the matter, but held
that Piass not knowing that his deposit
was kept in a separate envelope, had no
contract with the bank officials for
special trust deposit. But II the bank
officials had kept the deposits IN special
envelopes. and then had turned the bal
ances into the general fund, the court
looked upon them as being reasonably re-
sponsibls in a personal manner for the de-
reasits
