erableD publicity received by himself in
connection with the indictment and
steady seepage of Withdrawals for the
crash. When testifying in the contempt

former Smith Co. head, also was re-
sponsible in q large measure for the
failure Of the bank.
It Is not known what arrangements
have been made, If any, for reopening
the branch banks. It was pointed out,
however, that the parent bank, or its
subsidiaries, are holding over $2,0OO,0O0
of worthless Wardman debentureS and
a considerable amount Of bad Smith
company paper. This, it was said, viii
materially reduce the assets available
Coblentz. 1t was said, will not be
