ATLANTA, July 21.—(AP) — The
records of every bank in the D;mkersi
Trust Company chain that has come
o my attention “indicates the bank |
funds involving large amounts have
been squandered by certain individu
als in Atlanta in bucketshop specula
tion,” Solicitor General John A. Boy
kin said here today in commenting
upon an investigation into the affairs
of the Bankers Trust Company.
“No local pride or influence of any
kind brought to bear upon mc will
aeter me from a most vigorous nmli
exhaustive prosecution of the guilty
parties.” ‘
Tue investigation *“up to this perjod |
aiscloses that many fictitious trans
actions have heen rezorted to in an
effort to hide the funds wunlawfully

favorite systems where large sums
have been diverted to the bhenefit of
the Bankers Trust Company,” Poykin
said. '
Despite the above charges, which
locally cannot be understood, there

Cirdele bank in anything outside of
the bounds of Crisp county. Every
