WOULD TRANSFER
BANK SUITS TO
EQUITY DOCKET
Defendants in Actions to
Collect Assessments File
New Answers.

Amendments to am nd and substi-
tute answers ana motions to transfer
to the equity docket were filed in CIR
cult court yesterday by attorneys for
A. w. Num-, w. r.. Graham and Mrs.
Minnie Mckenzie, def ndanis in suits
instituted by John M. Davis. state
bank commiss ioner to collect assess
ments of 100 PEI cent. OF the amount
of stock in tie defunct Bank of Pine
Bluff. The amendments and mo-
tons state that the state bank act
was prospective and not retroactive.
and was enormously interpreted by
the bank commissioner in levying the
assessment. Defendants contend they
can only be held liable for debts OF
the bank incurred after they became
stockholders and hhfy have no way
of determining if the Indebtedness of
the bank for which the assessments
were levied was incurred before or
after they purchased stock as they
have not been able to view the books
and accounts in the hands of the bank
commissioner. They further plead thai
to be compelled to pay the assess
ment would entail sacrifice on their
Part, and it should be determined if
this is equitable. In previous answers
the defendants contend the bank COM
missioner was without authority to
levy the assessme mt. and their liabil-
T ity, if any, insures solely to the bene-
fit of the creditors of the bank, and is
enforceable solely by them.
Judge Sorrells on Tuesday over
ruled demurrer filed by Mlr. Num-
that the bank was forced into accept
ing the provisions of The bank act,
which was declared by defendant to
be unconstitutional because Of alleged
abrOgation of contract entered into
previous TO its enactment.
Jury Decides Suit on Note.
Judgement for defendant was the
verdict returned by a jury in the suit

Wmligh and r. G.. Allen. plaintiff

ance Of other notes, and that the
