Description
Newspapers (June 27–29, 1908) report the Binghamton bank 'recently suspended' and characterize it as a failure; its former president W. H. Bingham was indicted on charges including receiving deposits after the bank was insolvent. No article describes a depositor run or a reopening; the bank appears to have failed and led to criminal proceedings, so classification is suspension_closure.
