Nevada and Her Crooked Bank Officials
An interview with ex Governor Jowett W. Adama in Sydney challenges the Daily Telegraph’s “Outlaw State” label for Nevada. The piece argues Nevada should be called unlawful, goose, or sucker State due to 1907 bank dividends declared by State Bank and Trust Company directors while the bank was insolvent, enriching themselves at depositors’ expense. It criticizes district attorneys for failing to prosecute such thefts, except praising Eureka County and the Eureka County district attorney for pursuing charges.
