Still Worse on Mrs. Lewis in Bank Probes
The report details that $405,750 of $500,000 used in the bank’s original incorporation came from Lewis personally, later claimed as public funds.

The bank’s increased capital stock shortages and proxy arrangements undermined shareholder control, while a state official demanded the return of borrowed funds and Lewis failed to repay.
