The three banks, at Emporia, Eureka and Neosho Falls, closed on announcement of the alleged forgeries. Two were controlled bv Finney’s father and the third by other relatives. The state militia was ordered to command the treasury after Boyd admitted giving access to it to a private citizen, and. at 'he outset of tiie investigation, trying to deny I lie same privilege to government officials Troops Guard Office "Boyd’s statement, if true, indicates he either was a party to permitting $150,000 of state bonds to be taken b\ Finney to Chicago for a purely personal transaction or was a party to sending $l5O 000 of forged bonds to Chicago in the same transaction ' Landon said in commenting on the military seizure.
