Dividend Set For Indianapolis Bank Creditors
Receiver Hawkins was ordered to pay a 25 percent dividend on proven claims to creditors of the wrecked Indianapolis National Bank. The payout, likely around January 1, is larger than expected and funded by new payments. A federal telegram from Controller Eckles announced the dividend. The grand jury was in session but indictments may not be returned until Friday. R B F Pierce has paid $68,000 into the receiver’s hands to fully settle his indebtedness.
