Description

OCR-heavy article (Beaver Herald, 1896-10-22) mentions the Bank of Commerce in New York had recently closed up and that its cashier was indicted for false statements/swore falsely. No explicit description of a depositor run is given; closure appears tied to adverse bank-specific information (cashier misconduct). Date of closure not explicit beyond 'recently'; I used newspaper date for context.
