Bankers Trial Opens as Dakin Faces False Reports Charge
A jury was sworn for the trial of Barton B. Dakin, cashier of the closed Yegen bank, on charges of making false reports to the state bank examiner. Prosecution outlines three fraudulent entry groups including a $74,500 Gold Coin asset, a $654,000 Bear Creek Coal loan, and $85,000 Chicago National Bank obligations, while the defense contends the items were assets and personal notes and that the bank entries reflected truth. The case proceeded with opening statements and witnesses sworn as court adjourned for the day.
