Bank trial probes deposits after insolvency in Henderson
Miss Edna Sloan, bookkeeper for the closed First State Bank at Hawkeye, testifies in the Henderson case against M. V. Henderson, cashier, on receiving deposits after insolvency. The proceedings continue, with Sloan’s testimony expected to stretch over several days.
Identification of records and securities in bank collapse case
The testimony says the bookkeeper H. J. Belschner deposited by mail the day the bank closed, being the first witness. Henderson's counsel denounced 5. H. Bevins, ex-president, as shaping the policy behind the failure. The State argues Henderson knew Bevins used the bank as a real estate liquidating venue and ignored examiners’ orders to retire worthless paper a year before the collapse.
