Description

Article (Evening Star, 1915-10-15) reports an order discharging receivers in the case Haller v. American Savings Bank, indicating the bank had been in receivership and that the receivers were discharged on that date. There is no mention of a depositor run or of the cause of the original suspension; therefore this is classified as a suspension (receivership) that appears to have been terminated (reopening). Dates of initial suspension/receivership are not provided in the excerpt.
