ATTEMPT MADE TO SAVE BANK. Controller Agreed to Allow It to Remain Open Temporarily. S. C. Jones, the vice-president of the First National Bank of Cornwall, which was closed yesterday, visited the Wilcox offices yesterday and had a long talk with Receiver Conkling before the doors of the Cornwall Bank had been closed. Mr. Jones asked Mr. Conkling not to oppose a motion that was about to be made before Judge Holt, in the United States Court here, for permission to sell a certain amount of collateral held by the Cornwall Bank, at private sale, for a loan to Mr. Wilcox. Mr. Jones, according to the receiver, stated that if this collateral could have been disposed of at the private sale on advantageous terms yesterday, the bank might have been saved, and he said that the Controller of the Currency had agreed to allow the bank to remain open a few hours to see if by this means the resources could be sufficiently strengthened. In Judge Holt's court yesterday afternoon it was said that no appearance was made there to get permission to sell ary collateral in the possession of the Cornwall Bank, and the presumption is that the bank was closed before the arrangements could be made. Receiver Conkling yesterday afternoon received $100 in checks and $54 in bills from the Rouse's Point branch of Wilcox & Co. The receiver has three men out taking possession of the branch banks. He asserts that he will have an expert on Southern securities look over the stocks and bonds found in the safes to see what value they have. Bonds in a drawer in the Wilcox safe worth $150,000 par have been claimed by a man not connected with the concern, who says that they were there only for safe keeping. The receiver will not deliver them without a court order. It is understood in Wall Street that the loans believed to have been made to Wilcox amount to about $11,000.
