Endorsement Fraud Ties Bank Loss in West Virginia Case
The circuit court ruled for Judge Ritz in American National Bank vs. H A Ritz over a $3,000 note endorsed by Ritz and alleged to be secured by fraud. Fowler, an officer of Southern West Virginia Fuel Co and president of the bank, allegedly promised other directors would sign, but the note was not signed by others. The case will be appealed. Fowler also served as director of both entities and Ritz's earlier role as attorney and director is noted. Witnesses aimed to impeach Fowler’s evidence.
