Description

Newspapers describe the Collinsville National Bank as 'defunct' and under a federal receiver who 'has been in charge... since its failed two months ago' (around Feb 1927). No articles mention a depositor run; the bank had already failed and a receiver was appointed. The later event (Apr 1927) is an explosion/bombing of the closed bank building.
