A,CLEAk sTATEMENT

Mr.. John Walters, who was pres

Trust Company of Bluefiela, when it
was compelled to close it's doors.
writes to DIR. r. B. Kirk, Of Elkhorn.
West Virginia, clear statement as
to what caused the banks failure
and also as to his connection with
the institution. Briefly Mr.. Wal
tiers says:
The doors of the bank were
closed because money in the vaults
was exhausted.
This condition was due to the
fact that the banks credit in Eas-
tern cities was ruined because of
actions of former officials.
Former officials loaned large sums
OF money to themselves and to their
relatives and friends without suffi-
Gent security.
The bank was under the super
vision of the State bank examiner,
and an examination was made in
April, 1911. The same conditions
as regards security of notes existed
then as exist today.
These questionable loans were
made and the bank examined by an
inspector before Mr.. Walters became
connected with it
We presume the above is about
the truth of the matter. The courts

when men of shady reputation and
spotted private life can be, forced
