State Will Hold
Banker for Trial
At Valparaiso
Attorney General and Sheriff
Hyers Will Arrest Ray A.
Lower On y Counts for
Wrecking Bank.

Lincoln, July 2,-(Special.) y
Steps toward pressing the prosecu-
ton OF Ray A. Lower, former cash
icr Of the Valparaiso State bank,
were taken today by Attorney Cen
eral Clarence A. Davis when, ac-
companied by Gus Hyers, state sher-
if, he left Lincoln for Valparaiso to
place Lower under arrest.
! Lower was convicted and SEN
fenced to the state penitentary on a
charge Of converting $500 of the
banks money to his own use. He
appealed to the supreme court on a
technical error in the complaint filed
against him, which was signed by
an assistant attorney general instead
OF the attorney general, and because
OF this error the supreme court or
dercd the district courts findings
dropped.
Returns to Nebraska.
Lower was in Colorado at the
time. Davis received wire this aft
crnoon that he had returned and
left Immediately for Valparaiso with
Hyers to put Lower under arrest.
II have not determined on just
what charge we will prosecute Lower
at this time" Davis said, but as
there are % counts against him |
don't believe we will have any trou-
s'ble in getting a conviction"
Since Davis has been in Office, Is
state banks have failed. Davis has
either placed in prison, started prose
cutions against or contemplates
prosecuting IA officers, leaving only
two bank failures in which he has
been unable to find evidence of GRIM
inal acts by officers.
An officer of failed bank at Page,
Ncb, committed suicide. Charles
Maixner of Lincoln and Herbert
Barge of Hoskins are serving time
in state prison.
Two Men Disappear.
F. H. Claridge of Blair and Will
liam Barge Of Belvidere have disap-
peared. Criminal complaints have
been filed against them. The follow
ing have either been convicted and
have appealed to the supreme court
or are facing trial in district courts:
Charles w. Wentz of Aurora, r.
N. Thompson OF Anselmo, f. F.
Lcfferdink OF Hadcr. F. NJ. Ridings
of Hoskins. H. w. Kenyon of Lin
coin, Raw Lower of Valparaiso.
Investigations are under way OF
four other failed banks, which, the
attorney general stated today, would
ultimately mean the issuance OF
criminal warrants against certain of
the officers.
