"These postals, we charge, tended to create the impression that the , Shafers were on shaky financial legs, while the facts show that they are not insolvent," Peterson declared today. "The Postoffice department obtained sufficient evidence to jus tify us in preferring this charge against oeiseiman. The warrant was served on Gei selman by telephone from the office of United States Marshal James C. Dahlman. Geiselman immediately called his attorney, Alfred G. El lick, held a short conference with bank officers and then went out to the home of his aged mother, re turning later to the federal building, where arrangements were made for bond. vGeiselman refused to discuss I ? the case and referred everyone to his attorney. Attorney Makes Statement, "Right at this time I don't know anything about the charges," said Eliick. "However, lt do know that .Mr. Geiselman in doing his duty has made bitter enemies crf-the Shafers. "Shafer formerly was president of the bank until the state banking department became displeased with the management and Geiselman was put in to straighten out affairs. "Shafer still has considerable stock in the bank but this is now in the hands of the government as col lateral following an investigation of a national bank started by Shafer at Beggs, Okla."; , ' At this time there is a $250,000 damage suit on file in district court dated August 20, 1920, an filed by M.
