Wanted for Operating Bank De-
positors' Insurance Company.

Harry j. WarinG and Edward NJ. Car
roll were indicted today by the grand
jury on charge of violating the postal
regulations by sending through the mail
fraudulent circulars. other advertising
matter and letters relating to the finan
cial condition of the Bank Depositors
Insurance Company.
BY reason of these circulars and let
ters, it is alleged, the two men secured
during the fall of 1907 and the winter of
1908 more than $1,000 from national banks
and bankers throughout the middle west
and i'll Texas, who were induced TO pur-
chase alleged certificates OF indemnity
whereby the depositors of these institu-
tions were supposed to be guaranteed
against loss.
Outline of Project.
The scheme by which the men operated,
according to the indictment. was to send
to banking house a copy of their al
legged indemnity certificate and to suggest
that such guarantee posted in the bank
ing house would materially increase the
number of depositors This certificate de-
clared the company's capital to be $1,000,
GO0 and that the company was incorpo-
rated by Congress and approved by the
President.
The certificate. it is said was embel-
lished by red seal. signed by Waring as
vice president of the company and Car
roll as its secretary, and handsomely
framed.
When correspondence was established,
it is alleged letters would be sent out
on letterheads bearing the names OF
prominent local business men. who, ac-
cording to Assistant United States At
torney Perry. who conducted the investi-
cation, had no connection whatever with
the concern. Glowing accounts of the
financial conditions of the company. it is
said. were also transmitted through the
mails in furtherance of the scheme.
Charter Forfeited Last March.
United States Attorney Baker last fall
instituted proceedings to have the COM
panys charter annulled. and by order OF
Justice Wright last March the charter
was forfeited
