LAWRENCE A. WILES NOW STATE BANK EXAMINER.

Former Goodland Man Succeeds E. M, Hinshaw, Whose Resignation • Was Probably Requested.

Lawrence A. Wiles, for a number of years connected with the banking business at Goodland, and who has been employed as clerk of the bank department in the office-of the auditor of state, was Wednesday appointed to succeed E. M. Hinshaw as state bank examiner. It is understood that Hinshaw was asked to resign because of developements at the recent trial of the Markers in the federal court, when a letter was admitted to evidence which Hinshaw had written to Marker and which Hinshaw later acknowledged to have been written by him. The letter suggested a plan of stock manipulation that was not calculated to inspire confidence in the bank examiner and State Auditor Billheimer decided to dispense with his services. Hinshaw was the man who took charge of the affairs of the Remington Bank after the doors were closed. He was highly qualified, but his letter to Marker has the earmarks of “high finance” that are not reassuring of absolute dependency. Mr. Wiles is an able man and has many friends in this part of Indiana.

It was decided this morning to set the foundation for the soldiers’ monument on solid rock, which will require a depth of 5 feet and make the foundation considerably more expensive, but permanent. Mr. Mackey feared that the stone might crack unless the foundation rested on the rock. The foundation will also be built up and a mound about three feet high built around it. It is expected in time to fill in the park and the monument will be set high enough so as to provide for this. All are at work to have the monument completed and ready for the unveiling on July 4th. ~ ~
