INSURANCE co. GOT THE MONEY.

Philadelphia, March 26-The sudden
death OF John S. Hopkins. cashier of the
Peoples bank, and the assignment by
the Guarantors Finance company have
been followed by disclosures which show
an important connection between the
two events. The coroner's DEMONSTRATION
developed the fact. hitherto concealed
by the family. that Hopkins had COM
mitted suicide by shooting. and an ex-
animation OF the affairs of the bank
by its officers resulted in the revelation
that Hopkins the past two years had
loaned the banks funds in large amounts
to Richard +. Loper, general manager
OF the Guarantors finance company.
These loans. which remain unpaid, and
aggregate. IL Is said. over 100000. were
made wholly without the knowledge OF
the officers and directors of the bank.
The securities given by Loper as col
lateral for the loans were found, accord
Ing to the statement of one OF the banks
officials. TO have very little value. In
consequence of these revelations. the
bank closed its doors indefinitely.
