WANT RECEIVER TO SUE STOCKHOLDERS BANK'S DEPOSITORS SAY THEY ARE LIABLE FOR A LARGE DEFICIENCY W. N. Dykman, receiver of the Brooklyn Bank. yesterday, through his counsel, asked for his dlscharge and the confirmation of his report as receiver. The motion was made before Justice Rich, in the Brooklyn Supreme Court. The report shows $13,000 on hand. The work of the receiver has been much hampered by many lawsuits, all of which have now gone to the Court of Appeals. Robert Stewart, representing the Depositors' Association, opposed the discharge of Mr. Dykman as receiver and asked that the release of his sureties be suspended. He declared that there was an actual deficiency of $75,000 due to the depositors and that the remaining liability of the stockholders was $108,000. Mr. Stewart contended that the receiver should not be discharged until after he had brought suits for the recovery of this money from the stockholders. Justice Rich reserved decision.
