essee through to Nashville, and were
directed to turn the same over to the
State authorities. The same was lief,
in the hands of B. Lanier to be turn.
ed over as directed. According to
the deposition of G.. G. Torbett, there
were two wagons and eight mules
bought by the Bank of Tennessee foI
the purpose of transporting the assets
of the bank from Griffin to Green's
boro, Ga, but does not know what
became OF these teams. From the
testimony of j. G. Rye, who was
Cashier Of the Branch Bank at Col
umbia, we find that these teams were
brought from Augusta, Ga., by order
of John A. Fisher, in charge of b.
Lanier, who was acting as the agent
of Mr.. Fisher. He never heard B.
Lanier set up any claim to this prop
ertv, but 1t was always recognized as
bank property. The mules would
average something near Sl75 each.-
From the deposition of Mr.. Jesse F.
Brown, who was the Cashier of the
Trenton Branch Bank of Tennessee,
and who Is most likely to be acquaint-
ed with the detail of the bank from
various facts furnished the committee,
says I'm his deposition, after stating
an impression that there We're three
wagons ana twelve mules, that he ls
positive ABOUT the oank owning two
wagons ana eight mules; these were
notdisposed or TO MS knowledge, and

TO Nashville. Inc committee nave
lett It TO the General Assembly To

or these witnesses, and either exone,,
rate or convict the party concerned
by the necessary steps to that end.
