CASE OF OLD BANK
TO COME UP TODAY,
Proceedings of Interest In
Court.
CASE INVOLVES VAST AMOUNT.
Former Stockholders of Defunct Bank
are Sued for Its indebtedness I'm
der Clause in the Charter-Hun-
dreds of Defendants

The old Bank of AmerIcus case is as
signed for trial in the superior court
this morning and promises to be atten
ned with more interest than any legal
proceedings in this court in years, as
hundreds of people, scattered over the
United States, are concerned therein.
A vast sum of money is involved,
hence the interest manifested
The suit is against former stockhold-
srs of the old bank, which failed a
dozen years ago. and is brought in the
name OF various creditors who thus
hope to recoup their losses.
The defendants are sued under a
clause in the charter of the old bank,
obtained probably half century ago
and which made stockholders individ
ually liable for the indebtedness of the
bank. Few, probably, knew of the ex-
istence of any such clause.
For many years the Bank of Ameri>
Gus was a solid financial institution
here and regarded as among the strong
est in the state.
During all this period of years there
were many transfers OF it's stock. which
commanded q high premium in the
commercial world. And when the col
lapse came large amounts of this stock
was held by other Georgia and New
York banks as collateral on loans.
Banks in New York City, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Boston. Savannah and
many other cities held the stock of the
Bank of Americus as collateral, and are
parties to the suit today
Not only are stockholders at the time
the bank failed being sued, but the liv-
ing and the dead who had sold their
stock to other parties many years be-
FIRE are also named among the defend
ants. The case is an unusual one and
will be watched with interest.
AS Judge Littlejohn is disqualified in
this case, Judge r. l.. Spence of the
Albany circuit will preside. Many
prominent attorneys of this and other
cities will appear in the case today.
