Charging that he, with other officers of his bank, deliberately aided and abetted W. E. Schricker, a bank- rupt banker at La Conner, with receiving deposits, knowing at the time that the bank was about to fail, warrants were issued this morning by Prosecutirig At- torney Brawley at Mt. Vernon for the arrest of Jacob Furth, chairman of the board of directors of the Seattle National bank, head of the local traction monopoly, and of several other large corporations. The warrants issued today specifically charge Furth and E. W. Andrews, president of the bank; R. V. An- keny, cashier, and Attorney Daniel Kelleher with joint conspiracy in “aiding and abetting W. E. Schricker to receive deposits knowing that the W. E. Schricker & Co. bank was insolvent.” Schricker was arrested shortly after his bank failed, last April and was charged by direct information of accepting de- posits after he knew the bank would fail. Since then, he has practically confessed to his part of the conspiracy in sworn deposition on file in the King county courts. These depositions were taken in civil suits brought by depositors against the Se- jattle National bank. In the depositions, Schricker seriously im- plicates Furth and the other officials of the bank i According to the information in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Brawley, tl rattle bank learned some time before the La Conner bank closed its doors that it was bankrupt. Schricker owed the Seattle National bank approximately $150,000. Instead of facing the music, Furth and his bank, it is charged, determined to get their money back at the expense of other depositors of the Schricker bank. The alleged con- spiracy was then framed Their scheme, according to Brawley, was to back Schricker sufficiently to give his bank the outward appearance of entire security and‘ solvency. The farmers in Skagit county, they | knew, would soon begin moving their grain and money would | be deposited in the bank. Schricker, according to this plan, was to receive the money and immediately forward it to, the Seattle National bank This, says Prosecuting Attorney Brawley, continued for several weeks until practically the whole of the Schricker loan from the Seattle bankers was paid up. Then, on April 16, the doors of the Schricker bank were allowed to close and the poor depositors were permitted to whistle for their money. The bank had failed in about $300,000, THE KALSO CHECK. The specific charge against Furth and his associates in con- spiracy relates to one particular deposit of $2,569.34 by Otto i Kalso. Kalso deposited a check made out in his favor by W. | W. Robinson, Seattle grain merchant, for that amount. That was on Saturday, April 13. The check was deposited with Schricker’s bank on that day, and on Tuesday, April 16, on the very day that the bank at La Conner failed, Furth’s bank in attle received the money for Kalso’s check from the Scan- dinavian American bank On the back of this check are found several significant endorsements, according to Prosecutor Brawley. One is the stamped order by Schricker turning it over to the Furth bank, which reads: “i’ay to Seatte National bank, Seattle, Wash., or order. W. E. Schricker & Co., bankers, La Conner, Wash.” Another indorsement is that of “R. V. Ankeny, cashier Se- attle National bank.” The most irnportant, however, is “Paid, April 16, 1912,” which shows that the Seattle National bank got the money for the check on the day that the Schricker bank closed its doors Prosecutor Brawley has been making a thorough investiga- OCTOBFR 8) tion of these alleged operations between Furth and the Seattle oa ‘ | National bank and the Schricker bank for several months.
