POLITICIAN - BANKER DIES; $300,000 IN ROAD BONDS VANISH Bank of Lexington, Tenn., Closes After Inspectors' Disclosures. Lexington, Tenn., Nov. 8—What became of the $300,000 realized from the sale of Henderson county road bonds? The last known of the money it was in the vault of the Bank of Lexington. When Henry E. Graper, for more than twenty years the campaign manager for former Congressman Thetis W. Sims, who was cashier of the Bank of Lexington, died on a passenger train the other day, while on his way to Memphis, the bank directors called a meeting to name a successor. Incidentally they looked into the bank's strong box to recount the $300,000 road funds. The box was bare.
