Banker's family heroism amid fall from grace
The LaGrange banker Rollin Ellison pleads guilty after his bank fails due to overreach in civic projects. He gives up his wealth, his wife loses her fortune, and their children sacrifice prospects as they seek to rebuild. A later tale tells of a young man who offers half his fortune to repay Ellison, while political commentary questions Chauncey Depew's fall from grace and its lessons on honor and accountability.
