BANK DIREGTQRS
LIABLE FOR LOSS
Demurrers of Officers of Ore
gon Trust Company
Are Overruled.
20 DAYS GIVEN TO REPLY
Federal Michigan lecision Cited,
Holding That Heads of Money
Concerns Can't Be Merely
Enticing Figureheads.
That bank directors, even though
only figureheads in the affairs of finan
cial concerns, are responsible for bank
losses or bank criminality was decided
by Judse Gantenbeln in the Circuit
Court yeBterday in overruling demur
rers filed by the directors of the de
funct Oregon Trust & Savings Bank.
Owing to this court ruling, the $500,
000 suit brought by Receiver Devlin
against the directors of the defunct
institution, will go to trial on its mer
its. Judge Gantenbeln said the same
ruling will apply to the demurrers to
tha complaint against J. F. Reddy, S.
V. Stryker, George I Estes and the
directors of the Oregon Trust bank
over the Pacific & Kastern Railway
bond deal. This line was better known
as the Crater Lake road. Receiver
Devlin's suit is to recover J18.500 and
an accounting of the railway company's
capital stock.
Walter II. Moore, Henry A. Moore,
Elmer 13. Lytle. W. Cooper Morris, W.
H. Copeland, Lonner O. Ralston, Leo
Frieda and Albert T. Smith are the de
fendants in the suit for $500,000, al
leged to have been lost to depositors
through the directors' "high finance."
The demurrers were submitted by ex
Senator Fulton, John Hall, J. E. Long
and Raphael Citron.
After tho demurrers were overruled
yesterday morning Attorney Fulton
asked for 30 days' time to answer Re
ceiver Devlin's complaint, but Attor
ney Clark objected to the allowance
of more than the customary 10 days.
Judge Gantenbeln said as there are
but 11 transactions involved in the
suit, he thought the expert accountant
Bhould be able to complete his work
upon the books in 20 days, and that
this period would be allowed for the
answer.
Scveu Objections Made.
The demurrers to the complaint
urged seven grounds for quashing it.
Judge Gantenbein passed over six of
these briefly, devoting most of his at
tention to the argument of the alleged
bank wreckers' attorneys that Receiv
er Devlin's complaint does not state
such facts as would constitute a cause
for suit. As to this point, the judge
said:
Tho sixth pround of demurrer goes to the
merits, and presents the important and in
teresting question as to what decree of
supervision and attention is required of a
board of directors in managing and admin
istering the affairs of a bank. defendants
contend that the standard of care and at
tention set Up by plaintiff is higher than
judloia-l- autJvovity sanations, and -fc-iHher than
public policy requires so high, indeed, as
to prevent any ordinary Intelligent and hon
est citizen from assuming the office.
It is argued that tho Btandard contended
Tor by the plaintiff requires a director to be
an expert bookkeeper as well as a spy and
detective and requires hira to exercise these
latter qualifications in an offensive manner
over the conduct of, and to entertain con
tinued suspicion of persons in whom he has
perfect confidence, and whom he has no
reason to suspect.
Judge Gantebeln then read from a
decision of the Federal Court for the
Western District of Michigan in the
suit of Gibbons against Anderson,
wherein Chief Justice Fuller is quoted
as saying:
We hold that directors must exercise or
dinary care and prudence in the administra
tion of the affairs or a bank, and that this
Includes something more than officiating
as figureheads. They are entitled, under
the law, to commit the banking business as
defined to their duly authorized officers.,
but this does not absolve them from the duty
of reasonable supervision; nor ought they
to be permitted to be shielded from liability
because of want of knowledge of wrong do
ing. If that ignorance is the result of gross
Inattention.
Ulrector Xot Ornaments. .
In my opinion it dees not meet the re
quirements of this statement of the law
that directors may confide the management
of the operation of the bank to a trusted
officer, and then repose upon their con
fidence In his right conduct, without making
examinations themselves, or relying upon his
answers to general questions put to him with
regard to the status of the affairs of the
bank. ... It is tho right and duty of
the board to maintain a supervision over the
affairs of the bank; to have a general knowl
edge of the manner In which its business is
conducted, and of the character of that
business; and to have at least such a degree
of intimacy with its affairs as to know to
w horn, and upon what security, Its large
lines of credit are given; and generally to
know of, and give direction with regard to,
the important and general affairs of the
bank of which the cashier executes the de
tails. They are not expected to watch the
routine of every day's business, or observe
the particular state of the accounts, unless
there is a special reason; nor are they to be
held responsible for any sudden and unfore
seen dereliction of executive officera. or other
accidents which there was no reason to ap
prehend. . . . The idea which seems to
prevail in some quarters, that a director is
rhosen because he is a man of good stand
ing and character and on that account will
give reputation to the bank and that his
only office is to delegate to some other per
son the management of its affairs, and rests
on that until his suspicion is aroused, which
generally does not happen until the mischief
is done, cannot be accepted as sound. . .
The banks themselves are prone to state
and hold out to the public, who compose
their board of directors. The idea is not
to be tolerated that they serve as merely
gilded ornaments of the institution, to en
nance Its attractiveness, or that their rep
nation should be used as a lure to custom
ers. What the public suppose, and have
the right to suppose, is that those men have
been selected by reason of their high char
acter for Integrity, their sound Judgment
nd their capacity for conducting the affairs
Df the bank safely and securely. The pub
lic act on this presumption, and trusts their
property with the bank in confidence that
the directors will discharge a substantial
fluty.
Concluding his decision. Judge Gan
tenbeln said:
I mm unable to agree with the defendants
ana must nnd that the complaint states facts
ufflclent to constitute a cause of suit. For
the purpose of passing on these demurrers
the court must presume the facts alleged in
the complaint to be true. Whether these
facts can be proved is another question,
which wlllAie passed upon at the time of the
trial of thtcase on its merits. Let the de
murrers be overruled.
HUSBAND CUT OFF AVITH $1
tVill of Marion E. Clinton Leaves
Property Mostly to Lawyer.
When Marion E. Clinton mado her will
on August 10, 1908, she cut eff her hus
band, Richard Clinton, with $1 and a
life insurance policy in the Maccabees
worth SB00, and gave Attorney Jol M.
Ixing, her counsel, all of her $10,000 es
tate except $4800 cash, a half aero and
eix lota in Ohio, two rings, a gold neck
lace and several Indian baskets) and
vases. Long was also named as chief
executor. Clinton died before Mrs. Clin
ton. Two codicils were afterward made by
her, one February 13 and the other Oc
tober 17 last year, which give Long
$4000 additional by rescinding two be
quests of $2000 each, and turning this
money into the general estate. These
bequests were $2000 to Mrs. Jennie
Grove, of 510 Clark street, Toledo, O.,
and $2000 for the education and main
tenance of Norman Armstrong, a nephew
of Mrs. Clinton, living In Los . Angeles.
This money was to have been paid to
Long and Sarah E. Davidson, who were
to act as trustees until the nephew be
came of age.
Mrs. Clinton died December 23 last, as
she was preparing to leave home for the
Courthouse to take part In a legal battle
over the disposition of the estate of her
husband, who died some time before.
It appeared that Clinton, who was a,
bridge tender, had been previously mar
ried while living in the East, and that
his first wife had a daughter by a former
marriage. This daughter he is said to
have adopted. Clinton's first wife is said
to have died, and he married a second
time, but failed to tell his second spouse
of the adopted daughter.
Her discovery that this child would
inherit his estate is believed to have led
her to cut her husband off with a small
sum.
Mrs. Marion E. Clinton's will was filed
for probate in the County Court yester
day morning. Miller Murdock and Anna
M. Divan are the witnesses. Edwin L.
Minar and Vlcca Kundre were the wit
nesses to the signing of the first codicil,
and Minar and May C. Johnson to the
signing of the second.
Mrs. Clinton directs that $800 bo ex
pended by Long, her executor, for the
funeral expenses, and that Emma Lane,
an artist at 301 Rose building, Cleveland,
O., receive a two-acre tract located on
Harvard street, Cleveland.
Harry Pimpen, of Rose Hill. Euclid,
O., is to receive five lots . on Mound
street, Cleveland, and one lot on Depot
street, Nottingham, O.
To S. C. Leppelman, of Los Angeles,
she gave her mother's oil portrait and
two diamond rmgs, of seven and nine
stones. Lillian Leppelman. a niece liv
ing in Los Angeles, is to receive a neck
lace of rubies and pearls, while Airs.
Maggie Church, of East Eleventh and
Burnside streets, is given "Mrs. Clinton's
Indian raffia baskets and Cloissonne and
Satsuma vases. The rest of the property
belongs to Long.
