Banker Tells of Bank Failure at Zapata Hearing
Manuel Medina president of the closed Zapata bank testified that deposits fell by about 200 000 in recent months.

He claimed the bank owned only the building and nearby property worth about ten thousand. A money overdraft of 5.00 signed by Medina was discussed, and his lawyer said Medina will cooperate with the receivers.
