CLINTON, Mo.. SepU 23. The grand
Jury, " which has been Investigating the
failure of the Salmon Bank, of Clinton,
today returned Indictments on 13 counts
against Thomas M. Casey, ex-manager of
the bank .who confessed at the time of
the failure to using forged notes for so
curittes. Major Harvey W. Salmon and
G. Y. Salmon, aleo of the bank, were
icted on six counts each, and F. M.
Imon. the former clerk of the bank, was
lAlirted on four counts.
The Salmons for many years have boon
among the most prominent men in Mis
sourl. Few Democrats In the state are
better known than Major Harvey V. Sal
mon. Ho came to Clinton In 1SW and has
since then been connected with the bank
ing business and been prominent in state
politics. He was elected State Treasurer
on the Democratic ticket in 1S72 and
sorvod in that office until 1S74. He for
mcrly was a member of the Democratic
State Central Committee, and In 1SB2, as
chairman of the State Executive Commit

has not been actively connected with the
bank for many years.
The bank of Salmon & Salmon, which
was one of the oldest and oonaidered for
many years one of the strongest in the
state, failed on June 21. The Institution
was owned by Major Salmon and his
brother. Dr. G. x. Salmon. The failure
caused a sensation, which increased when
later it became known that Cashier Ca
sey, who Is Dr. Salmon's son-in-law, and
who practically had complete charge of
the bank, had. confessed to having forged
securities amounting to upward of, JWO.OOO.
While the bank had deposits 'M. about
$086,000. and Us loans amounted to I6S4.0W,
only $0000 was found In the institution's
vaults. Many farmers and ot&ors who
had had full confidence in the bank lost
practically all they possessed. On August
31, following a meeting of depositors,
Frank M. Salmon, son of Dr. G. Y. Sal
mon, was formally charged with receiv
