the corporation to the Globe Bank had
been misrepresented, and made to appear
almost double what 1t really was. Mr..
Chaplin to-day said the trouble had been
known for some time. but that until the
bank had been closed it was considered
unwise for business reasons to make
known the conditions. 1t was intimated,
however, that no steps in the matter was
proposed by the Squire creditors, and it
is not known to what extent discoveries in
this connection made py Receiver Wing
may have influenced his action.
Bankers understood when the difficulties
of the bank first came to light that an in
debtedness of 100000 to the clearing house
had been found. This, 1t was claimed, was
not the banks account, although borrowed
in the name of the bank. The amount, it
is alleged. did not go through the books Of
the bank. but passed TO individual ac-
counts. 1t also was understood among
those acquainted with the bank situation
that this sum was included in the s1,5Oo. 900
indebtedness assumed by Mr.. Cole and his
associates when he retired from the presi-
dency of the institution.
Many savings banks in this State are
stockholders in the Globe Bank Among
the heaviest are: The City Institution,
Lowell; Haverhill Savings Bank, Peoples
Bank Worcester; Leominster Saving Bank.
Salem Five-cent Saving Bank and Wor-
cester Five-cent Savings bank.
Both this city and the State of Massa-
chusetts are among the depositors at the
Globe National Bank. City Treasurer Tur-
ner said to-day that the deposits of the
city aggregated sS7o,oss. Treasurer Turner
explained that the deposits were made
when Charles H Cole was chairman of the
sinking fund committee. The present COM
missioners voted last week to withdraw
the city's funds, but in view OF the assist
ance given the bank by the clearing house
1t was thought there was no need of haste
Mayor Quincy stated to-day that the city
would not be seriously inconvenienced by
having the amount Of money referred to
tied up in the bank. The amount of the
State deposit is about s60,OOo

say now is that an interview published on
Thursday, which spoke Of an inclination
on the part Of certain people to make Mr..
Coolidge and myself 'scapegoats,' hits the
nail very nearly on the head. That is all
that is necessary or proper to be said at
present. Pending further investigation into
the affairs of the bank, 1t would be hardly
