Twenty Thousand Missing From Bank A special from Trinidad to yesterday's Denver Times says: William G. Plested, the temporary receiver for the American Savings bank, this morning issued a statement which gives some startling disclosures as to the manner in which the money of the closed institution had been handled. He said that he was not prepared to make any statement other than the one that he was filing in the district court, but did say that about May 26 the directors of the bank began drawing their money out, and at the time of the closing of its doors there was in the bank no money of theirs except a small amount belonging to Miss Lvnch as trustee, and I. Q. Milliken, the teller, drew out $450, later depositing $60. A. F. Hollenbeck, one of the directors, has a little money in the bank. J. L. Bridge's private account is overdrawn about $4,300 and there is besides a note for $2,500, signed by himself and one of his sons. The statement issued by Mr. Plested shows that there are $20,000 in items charged against the bank, which have either not been entered on the books at all or else are not satisfactorily explained. Seventeen thousand dollars of this is reckoned as an asset and is in the hands of the American Investment company, but there is nothing to show what was done with this money, where it went or who the American Investment company is. This company has altogether $37,000 of the bank's money, but the rest is accounted for by collateral.
