trct Attorney Bell declared today
that no man will be spared in an Of
fort to bring TO justice those re-
?sponsible 70 rthe disposition of the
money in the Real Estate Trust com
pany failure. The statement is made
that two directors, who are members
of the bar. profited to an extent Of
$750,000 the past three years by ac-
Cepting fees from Adolph Stegal for
passing on security rendered by him
for loans from the bank aggregat-
ing S5,300,000. President Nipples
plaintive cry from the grave that
"Segal got all has aroused the de-
positors to pitch Of Indignation,
Receiver Earle expresses the opin-
ion that Nipple was money mad
and there seemed to be no end to
the variety of methods by which he
juggled with the securities. He
was not content with stealing some
bond or stock certificates once" said
Earle, but ne did it several times
over and leaving the notes and pa
pers relating to the loans in almost
an inconceiyable confusion
Receiver Earle and the district at
tOrney have devoted much time 20
the question of the liability Of the
directors, and the developments Of
today indicate that at least two of
them may be called upon for an eX-
PLANTATION of their action in certify
ing to the correctness of bank state
ments. which have since proved to
have been false. The names signed
to the last semi-annual statemen
Of the Real Estate company were Il.
p. Borden, r. Dale Benson and
Frank X. Nipple. In he semi-annual
statement must be included an item
lied list of collateral held by the
bank. AS the directors of the trust
company. by their own admission, ac-
Cepted the word of others for thCI
securities in the banks possession,
and it has been disclosed that the
lists prepared were fictitious, there
arises the liability of those Who'll
signed the statements for false certi-
fiCation and negligence for failing tOI
investigate the condition Of the col
lateral before attcsting the state
ment.
Vice President Houston of the de-
funct trust company declared today
that If any of the directors have Dor
rowed money from tho bank it will
be returned as soon as the receiver
calls for it.
Depositors representing 100000 !
Entrusted to the bank have engaged |
Samuel Clement, former assistant
district attorney, to prosecute the di-
rectors. Discussing the liability of
the directors, John II. Converse, head
and one of tho board of directors of
the trust company said today:
THAT which was done in the case
of the Real Estate Trust company

laws and regulations, in the affairs
