New York Man Arrested for Hanover Bank Fraud
New York man Foster Hooper vice president of the Hanover Bank faces a federal charge for using the mails in a conspiracy to defraud. A Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court injunction to restrain the bank from further business in the state, and the appointment of receivers, followed a lengthy investigation by the savings bank commissioners and the attorney general. Also tied to the case, William Leary of Brooklyn was arrested in New York on charges related to larceny of diamonds and bogus Hanover Bank certificates of deposit. Leary admitted issuing 30 fraudulent $1000 certificates and implicated a figure called Colonel Burgess in converting the jewels to cash. Leary was later arraigned in Brooklyn with bail set at $3000 pending examination.
