al disclosures were made to-day in the
investigation into the affairs Of the
now dcfunct Columbus Savings Bank
and Trust company which is being con-
Quoted before Judge George Okey, who
is sitting as master in chanccry.
Allegations involving two former State
trca casurers, |. u. Cameron and W s.

forth of n mysterious black satchel be-
treasurer. l. b. Cameron, and the CO.

pany was explained at length by MIR

tion bureau working between the
State House and the bank and that
tho money would be placed in TIE treas
ury Just before the arrival of the
states bank examiners. Testimony
