1t was to Young Turkish influence

portant bearing upon the Virginia
Safe Deposit and Trust Corporation.
Some months after the failure, suit
was brought by certain depositors in
the Trust Corporation, through their
attorneys, Samuel G. Brent and S. B.
Whitehead, against all of the directors
who had been connected with the Trust
Corporation since its organization. By
this suit, the depositors hoped to hold
the directors responsible for their
losses. An order was entered by
Judge Barley, of the Corporation
Court, making all of the depositors
plaintiffs in this suit.
Early in this year, a demurrer was
filed by the various directors, but no
decision has ever been passed on this
demurrer, pending the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Mecklenburg
case, where similar questions were
involved.
1t is generally believed that in view
of this decision the case of the deposi-
tors will be dismissed, after which the
receiver will be directed to enter a
new suit against directors.
