At Indiana Pa, last week, the equi
ty proceedings against Judge White
were heard by Judge Barker. The cir
cumstmces which surrounded the case
recall the failure of big banking firm
of y. K Jamison & Co. of PhilGcel-
phia. which occurred some years ago.
Mr. Gibson and sister were stock
holders in the Indiana County bank
and so was Judge White. Shortly be
fore the failure Of the Philadelphia in
stitution Judge White deposited s25,
900 of railroad stock belonging TO the
deposit bank with the banking firm Of
y. K Jamison x Co. This action, IL
il alleged BY the prosecutors, was not
confirmed by the board Of directors at
the time, nor did Judge White have
power TO act AZ attorney for the local
bank. The prosecutors have instituted
proceedings on the ground that Judge
White was handling the funds of the
bank without permission, and that il
was through his action that the stock
holders lost the $25. 900.
