State seeks dividend from failed bank in McDonald case
Attorney General Smyth reports the U S Court of Appeals at St Paul issued a mandate in McDonald against the state. The defunct Capital National Bank held 236000 on deposit with the state as a preferred depositor. Receiver McDonald has paid other depositors 15 percent and withholds 35 000 to 40 000 owed to the state. The mandate would force payment once received, else the dividend would have gone to individual depositors if the state had lost.
