st. Louis.-The Missouri supreme
court in jefferson City reversed Friday
the action of the St. Louis county cir
cult court in appointing Fred Essen re-
ceiver for the s., 800. 900 Peoples Unit
ed States bank, of which T.. G. Lewis is
president.
An opinion defining the scope of the
decision will not be handed down for
several weeks. The decision means,
lawyers say, the end Of Essen's receiv-
ership, and replaces the affairs Of the
bank in the hands of the directors. 1t
IS said, however, that the directors
can not continue the operation Of a
bank without obtaining a new charter
and starting anew.
Receiver Essen, when told by a re-
porter that the supreme court mad set
aside the r~eceivership. said:
Good. I'm glad Of it.. I'm about
through with the bank, anyhow. What
do l mean? Merely that every debt has
been paid. the depositors have got ev-
cry dollar due them and there's only
between $4,000 and $4,000 stock out
standing.
We've made two payments en- the
stock, the first so cents on the dollar,
the second 35 cents. We are paying
out 50 cents on the doller.
