that you must say that our offer is not
only fair but just and equitable, remem-
bering, that these defendants have lost
their stock besides the amounts they
have had on deposit in the bank, and
must now make still further sacrifice
to bring about settlement. 1t will come
very hard to men who feel that they are
in no wise to blame, having simply re-
lied upon the honesty of the same man
every other depositor relied upon.
In view of the offer made by these de-
PENDANTS we think no fair minded man
can say that, if not accepted they are
not justified in defending themselves
against further loss to the full extent
which the law permits.
If this matter is to be settled we hope
that immediate action will be taken to
that end, and thus put stop to this
very expensive litigation for both sides.
