Closing of banks points to Wall Street plot against Ford
A one man grand jury heard a witness charge that a Wall Street effort to strangl Ford lay behind the closing of two national banks in Michigan. Herbert Ro Witkin, a Detroit banker, testified that about 4 million dollars were withdrawn from the Guardian National Bank of Commerce and First National Bank Petrol before the banking holiday. He claimed checks moved through the Detroit clearing house after the holiday was declared as part of the alleged scheme to cripple Ford's capital. The testimony, labeled the Wall Street plot, was given before Judge Harry Ketchen.

The court affirmed dismissal, finding bank and county officials knew of a planned robbery ten days prior and chose to trap robbers instead of notifying the insurer, leaving the value unlocked and trying to block the robber’s escape after the crime.
