NO TIDINGS FROM MISSING CASHIER Examiner Says It Will Take Several Weeks to Untangle Americus Bank's Affairs. AMERICUS, Feb. 6.-Assistant State Bank Examiner T. C. Dunlap, who has been appointed temporary receiver and who is at work on the tangled affairs of the Americus National Bank, refuses to make a statement now, other than it will take probably several weeks to get at the bottom of the bank's failure. The Americus Trust and Savings Bank, an institution closely allied with the National Bank, doing business in the same building and having practically the same officers, is almost as hard hit as the National Bank, it seems. It had $30,000 on deposit. So far no tidings have been received from G. D. Wheatley, Jr., the missing assistant cashier. Many of his friends insist that he is near Americus. The general opinion is that Wheatley is involved no deeper than some others, and that if he will return and help straighten matters out, he will stand a. good chance to clear himself of the charges that rumor has fixed on him. His father still stands steadfast in his declaration to stick to him. Depositors to Get 50 Per Cent. ENOIA, Feb. 6.-H. H.
