The announcement of the defalcation
was followed by a rush of depositors
to withdraw their money from the Wis-
consin Trust company and the First
National bank, the Wisconsin Trust
company being the savings department
of the bank. Many thousands of dol-
lars were withdrawn, but on the other
hand, a large number of people having
confidence in the Instltutlln Increased
their deposits. Arrangements wore hast-
ily made to meet the run.

In addressing his fellow directors Pres-
ident Bigelow said -he had a painful

and a comparison of figures show that
he was indebted to the bank to the

they enforce the laws.

wlf« an affertinate farewell and left
with the offioer, the two walking to
the Federal building, where a court
commissioner was in whiting. None of
Mr. Bigelow’s friends were In the durt
room during the brief proceedings.
When the resolution was adopted re-
moving Mr. Bigelow from the presiden-
cy of the bank Henry Goll. assistant
cashier was also removed. The remov-,
a] of the assistant cashier was due to
the statement of Mr. Bigelow that he
was aided by Goll In concealing the
shortage In the back’s accounts.
The method adopted was an old one.
Collection accounts were manipulated
to the extent of 40 and In, some cases
60 per cent, to make it appear that the
reserve fund was Intact, and the
amount of the Increased collection fund
was diverted to special stock opera?
Hons. The reserve maintained In east-
ern ' banks was tampered with, the
books of the First National being fixed
so that the reserve appeared to be larg-
er by several hundreds of thousands
of dollars than It ideally was.
