All save Pollock, on whom the jury could not agree, were found guilty, liable to seven years in prison, $1,000 fine. They were remanded to jail without bail. The deal for which the culprits were held responsible was selected from a host of other shady practices by which the bank's officers, panic-stricken by the 1929 stockmarket crash, guided the institution to ruin. It was a game of financial ring- around-a-rosy, played...
