MANY INDICTMENTS
FOUND AT FAIRBANKS
Fairbanks, Fob. 13.—The grand
jury which adjourned recently re
turned 17 indictments against
Frank C Hawkins, who is charged
as cashier and later as receiver
of the Washington-Alaska bank,
which failed here a year ago, with
having converted funds and se
curities of the bank to the use
and benefit of those not entitled
In them. Hawkins is at liberty on
923,000 bonds.
Several secret indictments were
returned by the jury which inves
tigated the failure of the bank.
The fact that no arrests have been
made here leads lo the belief thai
these indictments may include
men now in the slates.
