HAVILL HEARING SEPT.14 President of Bowl us Bank

Claims It Is Solvent-Furnishes Bail

O.H. Havill of Minneapolis,. until recently of St. Cloud, who was presi­dent of tbe First State Bank of Bowlus was arrested for accepting a deposit of $115 from C. Magnuson when it is al­leged tbe bank was known by bim to be insolvent, appeared before Justice Randall last Friday morning and beam­ing was set for September 14th. Bail was fixed at $4,000. which was fur­bished by D. Abeles, Robert Harrison, H. C. Irving, C. S. Bunnell and Jobn J. Liesen. Ripley Brower of St. Cloud appeared as attorney for Mr. Havill.

In reference to the charge against him, Mr. Havill made tbe followihg statement to the press:

"I believed and knew that tbe First State Bank of Bowlus was solvent for I personaly investigated its condition, and at the proper time I will be pre­pared to prove it. Until that time arrives 1 ask the public and my friends to suspend judgment. Immediately after receiving information that the State Bank of Koyalton was involved 1 went to Bowlus on Thursday, August 3d and personally made an examina­tion of the bank. I found tbe bank 3olvent with more than double the re­serve cash on hand required by law. As a further precaution11 consulted the State Superintendent of Banks, Kelsey M, Chase, and requested that he make an examination, for tbe purpose of se-caring bis advice as to what ought to be done in case there should be trouble at Bowlus as a result of the failure of the State Bank ot Royalton. This was feared because of tbe fact that a large part of the stock of the Bowlus bank was not hsld by myself but by tbe offi­cers of the insolvent bank of Royalton. Tbe failure of tbe Bank of Royalton, as was*feared, brought about a condi­tion of things that made it necessary to close tbe Bowlus bank for the pro­tection of tbe depositors, but I am just us confident now as I was at tb« time that tbe First State Bank ot Bowlus was solvent. I am not seeking to avoid vdv responsibility—I fearlessly ac­cept it for I have violated no law nor done any dishonest act."

Mr. Havill also stated that when be disposed of bis interests in the Royalton state bank nine months ago "it was solvent.
