CRAzED BANKING
FRENZlED FlNANciER's MANIA
FOR STARTING BANKS.
WANTED THEM EVERYWHERE
Eighteen or Twenty Banks and Trust
companies-certifcates cashed Of
Institutions That Never Opened
Their Doors,

Denver-C. B. Wilfiey. former presi
dent of the Denver Savings Bank, con
tinued his testimony Friday. In com
menting on 1t the Republican says Z:
From the mania which urged Leonard
lmboden to create banks. an obsession
as binding on him apparently as is the
instinct of cell life to reproduce and
hold to life, the bank creator could not
save himself. 1t came out yesterday
that while he was maintaining his race
to keep up with Oklahoma and Indian
Territory in their sweeping develop
ments Of the last two years, his deter.
mination being to have an Imboden
bank In every town and city and as
many trust companies as possible1 he
formed banks that never even opened
their doors. But Notwithstanding, they
are creditors to the defunct Denver
Savings Bank.
In justice to this king among bank
kiters, 1t should be said that this was
merely an oversight on his part, what
ever 1t might have been with his com
rades In the bank building business
He would have ordered the doors
thrown open and invited business, had
he thought of 1t; whereas. his part
ners, the missing II. l.. Hull in partic-
ular, were willing to have the flatter.
ingly engraved certificates on hand
and satisfied TO have near by the ex-
pensive linen glazed letter heads and
envelopes, which did not contain the
name of Imboden, however. OF all the
banks and trust companies formed
through the Unsuitable desire of the
man with the American Bankers AS
sociation brand upon him, some eight
cen or twenty In all, not one had his
name emblazoned on windows, doors
or stationery.
The evidence of yesterday went to
show that Imboden and Hill and the
Hulls drew as high as 100000 from the
Denver Savings Bank, depositing
therefor the gaudy certificates of the
bank stock of banks and trust compa.
nies that were never in actual exist
ence. The defendants must have put
the money in their pockets. But I'm
boden did so simply because he could
not keep track of his many ventures in
trust companies railroads, elevators,
gas well. coal companies and what not.
II would have been more profitable to
have allowed the banks to accept de-
posits, although this procedure was not
all essential in the Imboden-Hill-Hull
enterprises.
Charles b. Wiley. tine of the prin.
cipal witnesses for the prosecution, n
! former president of the Denver Saw
! ings Bank under the Imboden regime,
made confession of guilt yesterday.
AS discovered by the receiver of the
Denver bank, and as given to the
grand jury called to investigate the af'
fairs OF the bank, Whitley made loans
on commissions, which he pocketed
and bought bonds and charged tho
bank higher prices than they cost him
and such like.
But Wiltley gave damning evidence
against Hill and Imboden. before they
had opportunity to boast of his own
discontinue. whitley was shown a
draft and certificate of deposit for
the benefit of lmboden institutions,
which contained forgery of his name
and of L. E. Hull's name. he declared.
