was arrested in December of 1957. He ap peared in Federal Court before Judge Patrick T. Stone. Trial testimony showed that Mertz took the money from the bank at Bruce, by manipulating loan accounts.

Mertz said that his bank and the one in Minnesota each shared in financing the loans. Residents of Bruce signed several petitions on Mertz' be half, expressing their confi dence in him as a good banker and an honest man. Mertz also has assigned all his assets and about $30,000 in cash to pay off the bank's creditors. 100 EXTRA GOLD BOND STAMPS Clip Coupon on P090 13 Get "GOLD" Stickers MAC'S D-X SERVICE 1910 16th Stroot STOPS DRIPPING PIPES iMvUtion wtth vapor mo! tap.
