Topeka, Kan, Aug. 28.-Three suits
aggregating $S5O,OOO, were commenced
In the district court here Friday BY
Attorney General C. G. Coleman, rep
resenting the state of Kansas against
the bondsmen of State Treasurer T. T
Kelly to recover state funds which
were in the hands Of the First Ma
tional bank Of Topeka at the time Of
It's failure.
The first suit Is for 100000 and Il
brought against the Title Guaranty
and Trust company Of Scranton, Pa
and T. T. Kelly.
The second suit is for $250,0OO and
Is brought against the Fidelity and
Guaranty company Of Baltimore, Md.
and T. T. Kelly.
The third suit Is for 800, 900 and d
brought against the First National
bank, VIM. Sims, G. E. Noel, W. H
Rossingtcn and G. H. Devlin- This
action Is brought to collect the amount
of the bond given by the bank ON
clals to secure state deposits.
The amount of state money in the
First National at the time Of the fall
ure was $547,575.06.
In speaking about the suits, Gov
Hoch said: I'VE tried to collect the
bonds in every way before we decid-
ed to bring suit The state has to re-
cover the lost funds and the only way
In which we can make the bonding
companies pay is to sue them"
The First National bank, in which
the state funds were lost, Is the insti-
tuition which was carried down by the
failure Of C. J. Devlin, millionaire coal
operator.
