Bad Pennies Always Re= turn—Likewise Bad Notes When Myers, Pres, of the defunct Mt. Scott Bank, asked and received of Judge Gatena a parole or suspension of sentence, one of the conditions agreed to by Mr. Myers was that he would pay the receiver of the bank the sum of $3600.00 and in return he was to get $3600.00 in the uncollected securities of the bank. The receiver and Committee of the bank depositors, with Mvers, met and proceeded to select these securities and therein hangs a tale. When the bank failed amongthe notes held as security were found one from himself, one from his daughter and two or three from other members of his fam ily, all given with no security whatever i i and found to be worthless. Well, the committee and Receiver Tobin decided that they would do Myers a favor (?) and present them to him as part pay ment of their agreement. Imagine Myers’ chagrins upon being presented with these "valuable” slips of paper. And why not? If they were so "easy to collect” who could collect them easier than Mr. Myers? And now for a laugh. Jnst kindly run your eye over this list of securities that Myers left the Bank and that have in return been "left” to him.
