Harris Alone in Misfortune
Gallatin Tennessee July 28 There remains sensational trouble surrounding the wreck of the People's National Bank of Gallatin caused by young cashier William Green Harris. Once defended by his high local standing and family ties his guilt becomes clearer as his manipulation of the bank’s books is revealed. Bondsmen led by his father in law William Hall offered $10 000 but many withdrew after forged papers surfaced. Banks and stockholders rally to reopen the bank with public support while Harris faces arrest. The community remains uneasy but seeks to restore a safer institution in Sumner County.
