COLLAPSE OF BIG
PHILADELPHIA BANK

Philadelphia, June 22,-The
City Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany, for years rated among the
most reliable financial institutions
in the community, to-day closed
its doors and Albert L. Tabor,
State Bank Examiner, has ap-
pointed its temporary receiver.
The company is able to liquidate,
and j. Hampton Moore, its presi-
dent, will probably be appointed
permanent receiver. All, deposi-
tors will be paid in full.
The failure of the company is
the direct issue of the forgeries
of the late Benz. H. Gaskill, ban
ker, who it was learned yester-
day, a month after his death, had
raised many certificates of stock
from one to one hundred shares,
and borrowed money on them.
President Moore said the bank
lost $4,000 through the forgeries
of Gaskill. who borrowed from
the company. $50, 900 for which. it
was believed, he deposited with
the bank security amounting in
value to 1000.
