Brunswick, Ga, June SIT Is rumored
IN court circles here to-day that tho
grand jury viii explode a volcano Mon
day under number OF ex-oficiaIs OF the
defunct Brunswick State Bank and haul
them mp on criminal charges. The news
will create CONSERVATION In the minds
OF several prominent citizens and ex-dl-
rectors, but some will be glad of an OPP
portunity to vindicate themselves OF
street rumors that have been floating
about for several years.
The fun history OF the State Bank fall
ure has never been told. but mysterious
illusions have frequently been made to
some alleged dark transactions which
a few citizens are said TO be connected
with. Past grand juries since the failure
in 1892 have passed over the bank trou-
BILE lightly. but II is remembered by some
that indictments for minor offenses have
been found against the ex-cashier. Why
these indictments have never been pushed
and why the grand juries have been so
lukewarm up to the present time In hand
ling the bank affair is not known, but has
caused great adverse criticism. and the
rumored action of this jury is thus made
more startling.
The depositOrs of the bank have never
realized one cent, and unless certain suits
the receiver now has on hand are success
fui. they will realize practically nothing.
IL Is also generally conceded that the
receiver can give valuable information
in regard to the banks business by virtue
of his having possession Of the books.

far as the public knows
