NJ HENRY BANK IN
HANDS OF Receiver
Bill of Complaint Filed by Richard
Griffith Charges Gross Ir-
regularites.

Gulfport, Miss, March 26.-With the
closing of the doors of the State Bank
of McHenry yesterday, and the ap-
pointing of J. L. Taylor of this city as
receiver by Chancellor T. A. Wood,
comes the filing of lengthy bill by
Richard Griffith of Vicksburg, Miss,
one of the banks stockholders against
the bank itself The charges as COW
cred by the document are startling
in character, especially such portions
as relate to the actual conduct of the
bank annd its affairs since it was or
ganized and began business in 1902.
The bill AYERS that j. F. Bennett
was the cashier from opening of the
doors of the institution to November,
1911; that he was also vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
bank; that bond was not required of
him from 1902 to 1909, and that he
also was not required to consult any
of the other officers in the conduct
of the affairs of the bank.
The bill states that the bank now
owes depositors about $4,000, about
$4,000 to general creditors and about
$4,000, aggregating liabilities of
about $12S,750 which, the bill claims,
the bank has assets of about $65, 500
to offset
1t also AYERS that the bank has
been insolvent for more than two
years, and that no stockholders meet
ing has been held for years, and
that they were not informed as to
the banks condition.
Bad bookkeeping and general ir.
regular manner of doing business is
covered in the charge. Stevens, Alex.
ander & Whitfield are the solicitors
for the complainant, who is suing for
dividends that he states is due him
amounting to $1,150.

charge consumed some minutes in de-
livering, and at sixteen minutes after
II the case went to the jury.
Judge Chretien announced that he
would wait for the jury to reach yer-
dict until o'clock, and ordered re.
cess until that hour. The crowd was
large-very large-in the courtroom
all day long, and the gallery was
thronged with well-dressed women,
most OF whom waited until the mo.
ment of final adjournment.
The day began by the state intro
ducing evidence to rebut the testi-
mony of the defense witnesses, and
the sensation of the forenoon was the
reading of the letter which Elise
wrote to her sister, Mrs. Leo,in which
the girl spoke hopefully of the future

ried, and admitted that she had fallen.

ed throughout the day as the man
Elsie was to marry, but Mr.. Zahn's
testimony was not taken as the state
introduced him in rebuttal. and no
was ruled out on objection by the de-
tense.

the Crawford case, was taken seriops.
ly i'll Sunday with an attack of indi.
gestion, and DR.. O'Hara, the coroner
was called in to attend him. Tho

to go back and stay with the coaches
and ordered the mail celrk and helper
and me to get on the engine.
One of the robbers rode on one
side of the engine in the gangway and
one on the side. They took us some
thing like a mile from the place where
they held up us.

he said that he would go back and get

cut one mail pouch open and put all of
the loose registered packages into it
and threw it out, with four others filled
with registers, and told me that he
would take me back to the coaches

that he would take me across the Rio
