active business man. n man of sterling
integrity and we believe that If he and
his associates are permitted to carry
out the proposed plan OF liquidating
the affairs of the bank that the depos-
itors will get their money. The plan, as
you will observe, calls upon them to
raise $4,000 Immediately to pay of the
small depositors. and this $4,000 will
not in any way increase the obligations
Of the bank, but is raised out of their
own resources.
Again, these gentlemen propose to
put up their own personal realty for
the payment of the depositors, and I'm
ally obligate themselves and their
heirs to the full payment of this debt
IL In their power to do so, and there is
no question in our minds but what this
is far the best thing the depositors can
do rather than let the matter run
along for an indefinite number of
years. as II would do under ordinary
receivership.
We also wish to state that we have
not been solicited to make this state

attorneys, and they have no knowledge

to you; but it is done voluntarily and
for the sole purpose that we wish to
aid Mr.. Freeman and his associates. as
well as depositors, whom you repre-
sent, to the best solution OF the diff
culties the bank Is in that is possible
at this time.
We residing here in Denver make
this statement because OF our knowl-
edge of Mr. Freeman gained through
an association with him lasting for 15
to 20 years.

committee at this time Is to state that
