MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 9.-@Ten directors of the Mercantile Bank, one of the most important financtal insti- | tutions in the city, to-day filed a peti-| tion in Chancery Court charging that | the bank was insolvent as the result | of the alleged misappropriation of) ‘more than $750,000 by C. Hunter Raine, President of the institution. In the petition Raine was held | solely responsible for the spparent shortage, approximately $788,804, which it is charged he obtained “by a system of handling its drafts, prop- erty and exchange in such @ way as to deceive the directors and to gonceal his manipulations,” the total amount of which, it was alloged, he lost in apeculation, The petition places the liabilities of the bank at approxi: 2,- 196,894, with assets of $1, a8 @ eurp! Resources, loans ‘and ftscounte at a time the statement amounted cash itemo in transit 778, These amounts, er balanced the amount given Ca Habilities, The a Garey discrepancy was dis- covered by a representative of a New York correspondent of the bank, who was sent to Memphis last week to audit the books of the ane Bank when loans requested were found to be out of proportion to the amounts usually asked for at this season of the year. His report to the directors yesterday, which brought the situation to # climax, was the; first intimation that the bank was not in @ prosperous condition, ac- cording to the directors. It is stated that President Raine, who attended yesterday's sesting, absolved all of the officers and direc: tors of the bank of implication in the alleged shortage and tendered his personal Fae which he valued at $350,000, to the bank. So far he has made no formal statement.
