Rich Nebraskan Buys Gold Brick in Bunco Plot
William Kerr, Hastings banker and prominent Nebraska citizen, fell prey to a counterfeit gold brick scheme.

Suspicion grew as delays and vanished promises raised fear of theft or fraud. Kerr alerted David H. Moffat of Denver’s First National Bank to probe the matter.
