BANK VICTIMS

Hope For Testimony That Will

About 800 depositors Of the defunct
Bank Of Flat Rock. Of Flat Rock,
Mich. are irtently watching the
progress of the trial OF Guerd H. Re-
tan, one Of the organizers Of the bank,
In Judge Collingwood's court. Retain
is charged with obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. Maynard A. Lo-
see, Retains partner, also named In
the charge, will be tried separately.
The depositors have hopes Of get
ting back all or q portion of their
money and, according to their story,
their hopes hang on the testimony OF
Daniel II. Powers. uncle Of Retain.
II Powers. who Is reputed to be
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars, is shown by the evidence In the
Retain trial to share liability for the
obligations OF the bank. II is argued
that the depositors will not lose. II
Towers contention that his name was
used as an officer Of the bank with
out his permission Is sustained, the
depositors have little hope.
No less than dozen Of the deposit
tors who lost money will be called as
witnesses In the Retain trial. Dennis
Dunivan, q retired farmer, living near
Flat Rock, the complaining witness In
the case. had $500 In deposit ut the
bank. When court adjourned. We'd

The proprietors Of the regular

the hotels and cafes are holding reg

proving very popular, and are hurt
