BANK CRASH VICTIMS
WILL KNOW FATE SOON
Liquidation Officer May An
nounce What Is Saved
Late This .Week
With the filing of n schedule of as
sets of the defunct North Tcnn Bank,
now bcinc liquidated by the State
Banking Department, the amount de
positors will be paid will soon be known.
It is expected the report of the ap
praisers nnmed b.v lianklug Commis

filed before the end of the week. One
copy must be filed in the prothonotary's
office, in this city, at which time it be
comes public property. Another copy
must be filed with the State Hanking
Department, nt Harrisburg.
Colonel Fred Taylor Piisey, special
deputy attorney general in charge of
the liquidation, is said to have salvaged
nearly $500,000 from the wreck.
Many debtors, who have refused to
mako payment, wholly or in part, have
found their properties encumbered with
judgments, obtained by Colonel Pusey
to safeguard loans from the bank,
which the owners of the properties ne
gotiated. A depositors' committee will confer
with Colonel Pusey at his office in the
Widener Buitding tomorrow, when it is
expected a partial statement of the
bank's nsscts'ivill be given them. The
statement will be read to a meeting
o the depositors Friday night, in
Yonah Hall, 2727 Columbia hvenue.
New developments in the bank probe
are expected, following t,hc turning over
to the district attorney's omce oy oi
onel Pusey of all evidence gathered
against James J. Boland, the New
York-Scranton insurance promoter,
whose meteoric career and financial
jugglery cost the North Penn $380,
000. Efforts to get Boland to come to
this city and make a settlement have
proved futile.
