May Take Action Against Directors In Bank Case
In Macon on May 20, speculation grows that the Exchange Bank directors, who ran the bank with President Cabaniss, may face action after the trial suggests directors bore responsibility for illegally declared dividends. Cabaniss contends the votes were by the directors, not himself, and defense claims blame was misattributed to him. The outcome hinges on Solicitor Grace's response to new trial findings as bank factional conflicts persist.
