$4,000 of the funds received from
, the local banks IL the banks Of Char

that Chester's amount will be brought

ed also that the commission Will look
very carefully into the matter OF col
lateral. There has been great deal
Of concealment in regard to this dis
tribution Of the banks funds. The
original resolution adopted by the
commission withdrawing certain
amounts from the local banks has
never been given to the public, al
though some Of the commissioners
contents were practically understood
by the action taken by the local
banks after Its passage. Today's ses-
sion Of the commission was execu-
tive, and when DR.. Murray was ask
ed for statement by the News and
Courier correspondent Immediately
after the meeting this morning, he
said there was no statement to make.
He, however, confirmed the state
ments given above. Mr.. Brice, OF the
commission, Is quoted as saying: II
don't see any necessity for all this at
tempt at secrecy on the part Of the
commission" Said Mr.. Brice: This
Is not any private concerns business
4 It Is the states business and the pub
i lie Is entitled to the facts. In my
i Judgment the resolution. adopted at

should be published" The local az
ternoon paper Is authority for the
following from Mr.. C. K Henderson,

of Aiken" said he, was clearly
piece OF spite work on the part, prin-
cipally, Of Mr.. Patton Of Greenyille,
/ to punish me for accepting appoint
ment from Judge Pritchard as re-
ceiver. In a recent interview at Green
Vile Mr.. Patton said that money was
H taken from Columbia banks to pun
II ish them for q conspiracy he says was
Matched among Columbia banks to
resist payment Of interest while the
money was under injunction. / no.
ticed that he gave no reason for TAX
\ ing the money out Of the Bank OF
Aiken. Mr.. Henderson showed q
list of the collaterals his bank had
put up and which he got from the
state treasurer today. These consist
Of 155 shares of stock In the Bank OF
/ Barnwell, worth two for one, he says;
i 400 shares Of the Bank Of Granite
VILE, par value $25, but worth one
and half for one. and real estate
bonds for $500, a total Of $4,000
quickly convertible into cash" Mr.
