Court Decides Edward Smith, Liable
Columbia RnDk Stacl.

on Columbia Bank Stock
Edward Smith is probably very sorry that
he entered into a scheme for Appearances
sake. with President Kittleson of the Co
iumba National bank, Minneapolis. Accord
ing to a decision filed yesterday by Judge
McGhee. in the action OF John B. Atwater
as receiver, against Smith the latter will
have to pay in the present action 81, 165 on
the following facts:
President Kittleson, OF the bank. wanted
to make things look nicely as possible for
the comptroller of the currency Before
business was opened there was $4,000 Of
stock which had not been sold or issued
and knowing that the comptroller would not
pass the bank unless all the stock was is
sued. he called on MIR. Smith to assist h. m
He issued the $4,000 of stock to Smith and
took his promissory ncte for payment the
stock being kept at the bank Then as
there were dividends, he applied them to the
payment Of the promissory notes. 1t was
not bona ide purchase on Smiths part
The court also finds that as the directors
of the bank did not know of the plan, and
as the bank was not allowed to hold any of
its stock, and because Smith was at the
meeting that passed the notes, therefore
he must pay the notes. and judgment is
rendered accordingly. There is also a ques-
ton if he will not be held for his double
liability on the bank stock. and if so. the
little scheme. to help a friend, will cost him
more than $50 eco.
