CAMP GUARDS
NOT INDICTED
Report of True Bill in
Staying of Prisoner
Was Through Error

Harley Freeman and James
Rhodes, state prison camp
guards, were not indicted in
connection with the death of
prisoner Harry Lee Russell,
colored, as reported in yester-
days Times-News.
The report yesterday stated
that the grand jury had re-
turned a true bill against the
two guards. This should have
stated that the jury returned
a not true bill in the case.
The error vas due to a mis-
understanding Of information
obtained from the assistant
clerk of the court. The Times
News regrets exceedingly the
publication Of the story in yes
terday's paper.
Russell was killed last July
in a rock quarry near Kanuga
Lake as he attempted to es-
cape. He was serving time in
this state, and was being held
on a murder charge for De-
troit officers.

Hendersonville today approach.
ed the end of the first week of the
national banking holiday with thu
practical certainty that the Stat:

before Monday, if then.
Hope was expressed yesterday
that this and other Sound insti,

ordered that it be extended in this
state through Friday. and Quincy
p. Hood, state banking commits.
sioner, later said the holiday would
be continued indefinitely to con.
form to the national policy.
Officials of the State Trust Co.,
frankly stated today that they had
no indication from official sources
that the holiday will be terminal
ed as early as Monday. On the
contrary. they believe it will con.
tinue several days longer until
definite plans can be worked out
in Washington to permit the re-
opening of only those institutions
in condition. to meet the require
ments of the public with safety to
everyone concerned. Whether this
will necessitate the examination
of every bank is not known here,
but it has been suggested as a
possibility and if such an examl-
nation is required. considerable
time would elapse before the re-
sumption of banking service.
Only one thing appeared to be
certain in connection with the re-
opening of banks. and this is that
Withdrawals will be limited by
government edict. Should banks
then be permitted to "liquidate"
themselves as rapidly as possible,
it is believed the State Trust Co.,
would be one of the first in the
state to meet the requirements of
depositors in full. New accounts
would be opened in the meantime
and the bank would proceed in the
normal course of business. Abso-
lutely no fear is expressed here
that a bank "run" would develop
even should the State Trust Co.,
be re-opened without restrictions,
but it is recognized that regula-
tions which are promulgated must
apply to all financial institutions.
SO far as known. no scrip has
been issued in Hendersonville, al
though it was said that a few
business firms will issue merchan-
disc and service orders Saturday
so that their employees may pro-
cure groceries and other necessi-
ties. Most persons apparently
were acting on the advice of mer-
chants and others to "keep your
dollars moving" while there was
plenty of evidence that the bank
holiday has forced considerable
currency out of hiding. In one
small business house yesterday, a
half dozen one-dollar bills of the
large size that was in circulation
a few years ago were exhibited.
They had just been accepted from
persons who evidently had with
drawn their funds from the old
Hendersonville banks before they
closed. Observers declared fur
thermore. that safety deposit
vaults have been unusually popu-
lar places since the holiday was
