Description

OCR of article is poor. The text appears to refer to mandamus actions against L. R. Charter, Jr., the receiver for two closed banks (including the Bank of Fayette) — indicating the bank is closed and in receivership. No mention of a depositor run or reopening. I corrected inferred phraseing (e.g., 'receiver of the Bank of Weston and Fayette').
