HUNT MILLIONS LOST IN GAIN BANKS CRASH Four-Way Probe Digs Into Financial Muddle; Gang Hookup Probed. by ray black I’nlted Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—Judges of two courts, the county grand jury and the state’s attorney delved deeper today into the financial morass caused by collapse of the twelvebank chain built up by John Bain, former plumber. Angry depositors whose savings were swept away when the Bain banks failed for $13,000,000 last June, have pushed their way into Judge Michael Felnberg's court for more than a week to hear the amazing story of what became of the money they intrusted to the once penniless Scotch immigrant boy, his two sons and his son-in-law. Threats against the bankers have been muttered. Guards have been doubled. John Bain, the father, is beyond reach in the hospital awaiting an operation. Attorneys guard the sons, John H. and Robert Bain. Voices Death Threat Extra precautions were taken after a depositor shook his fist at the Bain brothers and asked bluntly: “What could they do to me if I’d shoot one of them?” Names of former United States Senator Charles S. Deneen, Edward (Spike) O’Donnell, beer rustler and gangster; Terry Druggan, brewery owner, and Louis Bain, provost of the town of Stornaway, in Scotland, are strange companions on the court records. The outstanding mystery of the case is what became of the $1,600,000 that supposedly was in the “brown package” John Bain carried out of his office at 3 p. m. last June 28, three weeks after the banks closed. The Bain family is accused of owing the banks $2,300,000 borrowed on valueless security. Found in Loan Office The sons say they do not know what became of the valuable securities that disappeared from the brown paper parcel between the day Bain walked out of his office with it and its discovery last week in a safe in a loan office where the Bains now are listed as assistant managers. The depositors want to know why the Bains closed out their personal accounts in the banks two months before they crashed. They want to know why Spike O’Donnell closed a SIO,OOO account in a Bain bank about the same time. They want to know if it is true that O’Donell pushed a pistol into John Bain’s face and forced the banker to turn over $20,000 O’Donnell had deposited. Also Under Scrutiny They want to know, too, whether it is true Terry Druggan operated his breweries on money borrowed without security from another bank not connected with the Bain chain, but simultaneously being investigated. Four separate agencies are inquiring into the Bain bank case. Judge Feinberg is conducting the quest for assets in circuit court, Superior Judge William J. Lindsay has ordered Robert and John H. Bain to face charges that they accepted deposits after they knew the banks were insolvent. The grand jury is questioning bank officials, employes and investigators, and the state’s attorney’s office is searching for $885,000 missing from one of the Bain banks.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SUBSTITUTE FOR TOW-IN SOUGHT No Constructive Plan Yet Offered, Officials Say. While business men and other groups organized further today to fight the tow-in law and early morning parking ban, city officials were looking for a substitute for the present traffic ordinance. So far, however, police and the safety board, declare that interests asking repeal of the present ordinance “have failed to offer any suggestions for a change.” The only plan offered, to go back to the sticker ordinance, is scorned by city officials, “because it can not be enforced.” “Do the people of the city want an ordinance that will control traffic? “This is the real question that we are facing at present,” Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan declared, “and I warn against a return to the sticker ordinance.” Under the sticker ordinance, the mayor declared that “business men and newspapers, who oppose the new ordinance, were the groups which asked police to ‘fix’ the most stickers.” Declaring “the city is not wanting to hurt business in any way,” the mayor said he believed that business had not been hurt badly by the early morning parking ban or towin provision.
