O. H. Cheney took charge of the Car

on the ground that its condition was
such that it was unsafe to continue

Issued at this time, - ;
The nrfnclmj organlaer of the Cai
nigi'c trust Company was Charles O.
Dickerson, whose mysterious, death of
gas poisoning, which occurred May
24, at Scranton, Pa., never has been
fully explained. The bank opmied
first In 1907. A few months later
Dickerson resigned the presidency, to
which he was elected, In favor of
Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of
the treasury. Dickinson became vlce
pt1'(Bldent and retained the virtual
mangement of th econcern.
After a few months Shaw resigned.
It Is reported that he quit because of
politics. Dickinson at that time
charged that Shaw was "beset with
a beie to become president of the
United StutPs." The bank grew rap
idly under Dickinson's management.
Eventually the management was
crltii ped for unsecured loans to
George P. Sheldon, of th ePhoenlx
Insurance Company, who dhxl whilci

'nllvely stated that the Sheldon loans
were insignificant, and that the bank
pocketed the loss. Before Dickin
son's death the Louis Kleybolte Com
pany secured a court order for th
examination of Dickinson, his broth
er, and Secretary Robert Moorehead
of the trust company, regarding a
loan of $1,000,000 to P. J. Kleran,
