DEFAIJLT|HG BANK
HEAD IS JAILED
President of Wrecked Memphis
Bank Admits Guilt.
WILLING TO TAKE PENALTY
Cotton Speculation Is Cause of OefaI-
cation-Deciared Shortage Will
Reach 100000 - Liabilities
Placed at Over TWO Million.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. lit became
known that Attorney General y. II. Els
tcS of Tennessee will endeavor to in
diet all officers and directors OF the
Mercantile bank Of Memphis, which
ciosed its doors and went into the
hands of a receiver Monday.
The evidence will be presented to
the grand jury next Tuesday.
This action is planned by Mr.. Estes
despite the fact C. H. Raine, president
of'the bank, has assumed all blame for
the failure of the institution which has
been regarded as one of the strongest
financial institutions in the south.
Mr.. Raine admitted the failure was
due to his speculation in cotton He is
said to have admitted defalcations OF
nearly $1,100,000.
Mr.. Raine has made no effort to give
bail, according to attaches of the Grim
inal court. He was arrested shortly
before noon on bench warrant charg.
ing embezzlement of $685. 04.76 of the
banks funds, and was taken to the
county jail.
The bank president was escorted be-
fore Judge Palmer by Sheriff Tate and
Deputy Sheriff M. w. Palmer Taking
the warrant under which the banker
was arrested and which was sworn out
by Attorney General Estes, the court
read the document to Mr. Raine and
asked him il he had anything to say.
i am guilty." replied the banker.
Mr.. Attorney General" continued
the court, what bond do you recon-
mend?"
Before the attorney general could
reply the banker interrupted with: 81
don't want to give bond; | want to go
to Jail"
He was taken to the Jail by Deputy
Sheriff Palmer When he was searched
at the Jail, preparatory to being com.
mitted to cell. he informed the jailer
that "You needn't be afraid. I'm not
going to make any trouble"
Judge Palmer fixed the bankers
bond at $250,000. 1t is understood,
however, that Mr. Raine win make no
effort to furnish bail. His attitude is
taken by the county authorities as in.
dicating his willingness to take with.
out resistance any punishment that
might be melted out by the criminal
court.
Criminal proceedings against the
banker came as the elimination OF
the banks failure. An application for
the appointment of J. L.. Hutton, state
superintendent of banks, as receiver
for the Mercantile bank, was granted
by Chancellor Fentress. Mr.. Hutton
arrived in Nashville early in the day,
and Immediately upon the chancery
courts decree naming him receiver,
took charge of the banks affairs.
The bank was officially closed fol
lowing an order by the board of direc.
tors, who subsequently filed bill in
chancery, charging G.. Hunter Raine,
president of the institution, with hay.
ing lost, through cotton speculations,
$7SS,S 0i.76 of the banks funds.
Owing to the banks extensive oper-
atoms, complete report OF the re-
ceivers audit Is not expected for sew
eral days.
