SON NllNOAliON Oh blobLOW CASEs
In the trial of B. f. Bigelow, for embezzle-
ment, before Judge Wylie yesterday, tho
taking of testimony was finished at noon, and
from that hour until o'clock Mr.. Taggart
addressed the jury for the prosecution. The
defendant, Bigelow, was on the stand at tho
opening of court and his cross-examination
was finished by Mr.. Taggart. 1t related
chiefly to Bigelow's financial embarrassment
when he fed from the city and to the causes
of It, He testified that he owned about ., ,00O
shares of mining stocks in different COM
panies, which had cost him in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, most of which were valuelcss
when he left the city. He had owned stock
of the Columbia Railroad company, but hid
sold it the year before to invest in mining
stock. He also owned twelve shares of stock
in the Carbon Vapor company. which cost him
5000 and were worth nothing. Six weeks
before he left the city he bought farm in
Montgomery county for $4,000 from Mrs
Edmonston, paying $4,000 cash, $4,000 of
which he borrowed from Mr.. Belts.
Bigelow was asked about his own account
at the bank, and said that the bank owed him
about $l00 when he left. He also left in his
private box in the bank $500, which be-
longed to the Citizens Building company.
He again testified that he had never embez-
zled any money from the bank, and none had
been paid for him to the bank with his con-
sent. He understood that some had been paid,
and identified his signature to paper claiming
that the civil suit of the bank against him had
been settled by the payment of IS, 112.d6. He
said his suspicious had been aroused by the
frequency with which deposits were handed
to him with requests that he make out
ticket and credit it to certain parties.
Bigelow explained the hostility toward
him of the Bradleys by saying that while
Fitzhugh Coyle was president of the bank
the witness had called his attention to the
fact that the bank held the note of Mr..
Charles s. Bradley for several thousand
dollars and that the collateral-District of
Columbia bonds-was in New York. Mr..
Coyle ordered the bonds sold, and there was
q loss of 81 900. Mr.. Coyle also reprimanded
Bradley, and directed the tellers not TO let
him come to their counters. After that there
was a GOODNESS between the Bradleys and the
witness.
In rebuttal J. r. Stevens was called and
testified that he never gave Mr.. Bradley
money to deposit, but always gave it to the
receiving teller. He had other business with
Mr.. Bradley, growing out of the Shepherd
mines.
George r. Dearing testified that TO the best
of his recollection, there were no $500 bills in
, the $4,000 deposit made June 10 for Dearing
& Johnson.
Mr.. Bradley was recalled and swore that
Stevens never gave him money to deposit,
and he never handed such money to Bige.
low About the bond matter he said that not
an unkind word passed between himself and
Mr. Coyle in the transaction. Mr.. Coyle
. simply thought, as he was in the bank, the
loan ought to be somewhere else, and that was
all there was of it. Bradley also directly
| contradicted Bigelow by swearing that there
were no entries in his handwriting in Bge-
lows book, when Bigelow had sworn there
were nineteen. This finished the testimony,
/, and Mr.. Taggart made the opening argument
