Fraud Charged
In the Bank Case
ATTORNEY B. J. MYERS CITES
OBJECTION TO DISTRIBUTION
OF MAYTOWN FUNDS
Arguments on exceptions to the
distribution of funds in the hands
of Fred L., Homsher, special deputy
as agent of the State Commissioner
of Banking, of the Peoples Bank,
Maytown, were heard Thursday
morning before Judge E. M. Biddle,
Jr., of Carlisle, specially presiding
in the local court.
Trustees in bankruptcy of the
Hoffman Leaf Tobacco Company
had filed objections to claims pre-
sented by Dr. D. Sherman Smith,
of Lancaster, and Dr. Thomas E.
Schadt, now of Philadelphia.
Objection was made by B. J.
Myers, who gave the court a re-
sume of the hear'ngs in bankruptey,
and s2id their was fraud and con-
spiracy shown, and they were not
entitled to any dividend in the
hands of the special deputy. This
meney, it was contended, should
oo into the hands of the trustees
in bankruptcy so that all creditors
may share it.
Myers stated the burden to show
the proof of fraud and conspiracy
was placed in them, and that he
thought they had done so. He clos-
ed by saying the dividends should
be withheld or placed in the hands
of the Secretary of Banking until
such time as it shall be legally de-
cided by a proper tribunal as to
who is entitled to them,

At a meeting of the commission |
here preliminary figures submitted
indicated that final results would |
show 15.000 legal bucks, 3,000
more than in 1926, and 25 elk, also |
a new total.
The bear kill during the past
season was little in excess of 300,
or only one half of last year’s kill. |
Scarcity of food and resultant scat-'
tering of the animals is blamed. |
The rabbit kill, the figures in-
dicated will exceed 3,000,000 and
that of squirrels was, estimated at
1,200,000, The wild turkey totals
may reach 10,000 as a result of
the 1926 closed season. i
Hunting fatalities totaled 67, an |
increase of 20 over the previous!
vear. The commission discussed
methods of decreasing the hazard
of hunting, several members sug-
gesting longer seasons to prevent
concentration during short periods.
The new license law will make
available $200,000 for land pur- |
chase by the commission during
