 When asked if the Jefferson County bank was injured by taking over the affairs of the Merchants and Mechanics bank several months ago, Mr. Walker stated that this had had little or no effect on the situation. The financial condition of the Jefferson County bank was not seriously hurt by assuming the business of the other bank, he said
 There is now in cash in the vault of the bank $73,211.61. The bank has deposited with other banks or due from other banks $193,95O, and it is due to other banks $9S,5S0.21. These fig ures are from the statement of the condition at the close of business Jan uary 27, which was the last day the bank was open. On that day the checking deposits dropped down about $26,OOO and the savings deposits showed decrease of more than S15,- coo.
