Some Crooked Work On Part of Casualty Co. Officers.

Lafayette Journal—James Bingham, of Indianapolis, receiver for the Columbia Casualty company, yesterday morning brought suit In the superior court against the Farmers’ and bank for possession of $l9O with Interest, that had been deposited in the bank by the officers of the company. At the time the deposit was made a certificate of deposit was taken by the company officials. Some time ago Mr. Bingham notified the hank that the certificate had been stolen and told them to hold the deposit. The certificate was sold to a Chicago bank, which sent it to the first National bank here for collection. When presented by the latter, the Farmers’ and Traders’ bank refused payment. because of the notice which had been given them by Mr. Bingham. Thompson & McAdams, attorneys for the Farmers’ and Traders’ bank, filed an answer to the complaint; in which it was stated that the bank was prepared to pay Into court the amount of the certificate for the benefit of anyone who th£ court should name as the rightful owner. Judge Henry H. Vinton Issued an order to that effect and the money was placed in the hands of the county clerk to await the termination of the contention.
