D-, against C. D. Grif- fith, formerly president of the in- stitution, as told in dispatches today from Minneapolis, completes another chapter in the history of the defunct institution, the crash of which eve tually sent three men to the fed: penitentiary at Leavenworth for us- ing the mails to fraud. Judge W. R. Gray of Minneapolis, sitting as a special master in the case, ordered ! its dismissal yesterday. Still pending against Griffith in federal court in Minneapolis is an action for $5,700 brought by Re- ceiver W. H. McIntosh of the bank, for which it is alleged Griffith is liable under the North Dakota statues This figure represents double the amount of stock held by Giffith in the bank, the com- plaint in_the action alleges. The $697,000 suit against Griffith was based on the grounds that he failed” in his capacity as president of the bank to properly supervise the operation of the-instution; which re- } sulted in the making of excess loans, stocking of thé bank with accom: || modation notes and with thé conse- quent alleged embez#l@ment by other jj officers of the funds of the bank. W, W. Bergman and J. C. Peters, former officers of fhe bank, now || serving sentences in Leavenworth after having been sentenced in Minot more than a year ago for using the mails to defraud, have been in Min- neapolis durin? the past month tes- tifying in the case before Judge Cray. They were in the custody of federal officers. WEATHER REPORT For twenty-four hours ending at noon. Temperature at 7 a. m, Temperatitre at noon . Highest yesterday .
