BAD FOREST FIRE RAGING TWO SCORE MEN FIGHT TIMBER BLAZE NEAR TAC'OMA. Tnrn In So-Called Fraud Action At tracts Statewide Attention, Prom ising to Disclose Case of High Finance and Fund Juggling. BOISE. Idaho. June 17. (Special.) Developments In the Hailey State Bank case of Hailey took a sejisational turn this week when Mrs. Anna L. Miller of that cltv filed a charge against Leo Cramer charging him with wilful and deliberate fraud, by which be deprived her of the fortune of xsi.sbo. an amount she had deposited in the bank prior to Its failure and which was rep resented through certificates of de posit. The suit has attracted state wide attention, and promises to dis close a case of high finance In which the bank funds were Juggled. The serious allegation of Mrs. Miller Is made In her answer to the suit brought against her by Mrs. Fred Brown, to recover notes given by the woman to the bank, but which she as serts were fraudulently secured. She also files a cross-complaint telling of how the alleged scheme was worked by which her money was sunk In tha defunct Institution. Allegations Are Numerous. It Is alleged by Mrs. Miller that on September 2. 1910, Leo Cramer was In debted to the Idaho State Bank of Hailey, of which he was a director and one of the operating officers, to the ex tent of about $.721.70; Sarah Cramer, his wife, to $5081.11. and his brother John Cramer, to Sn081.ll. all of whom were Insolvent. At this time Mrs. Mil ler, who Is a widow, had on deposit in the bank t61.96S.16. represented In cer tificates of deposit, drawing Interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annum, against which she had given her notes as mere memoranda to be set off against an equal amount of said certi ficates upon final settlement. It Is alleged that Leo Cramer, being desirous of having himself and hlsjwlfe and brother relieved from liability and Indebtedness, and H- N. Coffin, the re ceiver, and n prominent retired banker of Boise, wishing to aid him therein solicited Mrs. Miller to assume the in debtedness of himself, wife and brother with the bank by giving to Receiver Coffin tho certificates of deposit whlcn sl held and upon which she drew heavy Interest. The Cramers, she charges, knew then that they were conspiring with Re ceiver Coffin to fraudulently secure the money ahe had represented on de posit. They offered to give her the best of security, including their notes, etc.. for relief in the indebtedness. Cramer caused notes to the amount of S85.505.58 to be made and delivered to Mrs. Miller when she agreed to as sume the indebtedness, although she charges that he well knew at the time the notes were worthless and that the other security represented to be valued at $97,000 which he delivered over was not worth over $5000. She declares that Coffin knew the values were not as represented and that she could not realize on them at a forced sale. In her cross-complaint. Mrs. Miller goes into the alleged fraudulent deal, farther asserting that Leo Cramer agreed upon an acceptance of an agree ment entered into by the bank and herself towards taking up the Indebted ness, to turn over to Receiver Coffin 311 shares of tha capital stock of the bank standing in his name and five shares standing In the name of J. J. Ptumer. and five shares in the name of William Black. But at this time, she states. Receiver Coffin well knew that the bank was utterly and hopelessly in solvent and could not be reorganized, and that she had been defrauded. She asserts that had she known the intent of the Cramers and Receiver Coffin, of the bank, she would never have exe cuted tha notes nor have accepted the securities that had been represented of such good value. Widow Admits Getting 8950. The widow admits having received from Cramer, before the discovery of the fraud, $950, asserted to have been realized from the sale of an automobile and that Cramer paid her an additional $1000 on a note. The Institution of the suit against Cramer, coming in the wake of his trial, was a surprise to many familiar with the case. Mrs. Miller was one of the heaviest depositors of the Institution and at the time the bank went to the wall lost. It Is said, a large amount of money. Her allegation of fraud and conspiracy on the part of Cramer and Receiver Coffin makes the case of un usual Interest, as Coffin is one of the prominent banking men of Boise, hav ing been Identified with many of the leading institutions here and at present is a stockholder in at least one of them. He took charge of the affairs of the defunct Hailey bank shortly after it failed. At that time he waa prominent In the Idaho Insurance Company, the paper of which the hank carried.
