PITTFOL STORY TOLD BY CHECKS Colored Depositors of Busted Bank Get a Few Cents From the Wreckage. SOME NOT WORTH POSTAGE But 27. Cents on Dollar Is Paid After Deducting Regular Court Fees. Acting under a decree or the Chancery Court, A. J. Chewning. Jr., receiver of the Nickel Savings Bank, which falled a year ago, is prepared to-day to distribute checks to the depositors. But some of these checks are mighty small. The bank, which was located on Church HIII, was operated by negroes, and while there was nothing criminal connected with its failure, how it ever managed to survive as long as It did is one of those little financial mysteries no man can solve. When It went under there was about $23,000 on deposit, the savings and the scrapings of colored people who had been 'aught that thrift was one of the great blessings. They don't think so now. Mr. Chewning said last night that there are about 300 checks to be sent out, the total amount aggregating about $7,500. Get 27 Cents on the Dollar. After the expenses of the litigation are deducted the negroes will get 27 cents on the $1, their losses thus far amounting to $15,500, or thereabout. There is still some real estate to be sold and some bills receivable. which will net an additional 10 per cent. on the $1, 30 after all the depositors think they have come out better than their friends in the bank of the True Reformers. But these checks will not be mailed. The expense is too great, so a swarm of colored people will invade the offi of Mr. Chewning in the Times Building to-day. The largest check Is for $450: the smallest is for 2 cents. Indeed, there are at least 100 checks, each representing a sum less than 75 cents, and there are more $1 checks than there are $100 checks. Had State Charter. In many respects the Nickel Savings Bank was the most remarkable of all those chartered by the State of Virginia. It was organized in 1897 with a capital stock of $10,000. Frequently it had as much as $30,000 on deposit. Notes were discounted. bad paper was accepted. 3 per cent. interest was paid. and the business jogged along, the officers not knowing that they were skating on very thin ice. But they had faith, even if they were ignorant. cene the
