RALHIGRs BANK wREoKERs.
Their Case Argued Before the United
States Supreme Court.

0k6bO6 0APA OAA4O OO4A
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Argument was
begun in the supreme court of the United
States to-day in the well-known case of
Charles E. Gross and Samuel c. White, de-
faulting president and cashier, respectively,
of the State National Bank of Raleigh, N.
c., against the state of North Carolina.
Cross and White were indicted in the North
Carolina state court for forgery. 1t was
alleged that they forged note for the pur-
pose of sustaining certain false entries they
had made in the banks books, the intention
being to deceive the national bank ex-
aminer, whose duty 1t was to examine and
report upon the financial condition
of the bank. The bank, at
the time, was in an insolvent
condition. and it's officers were anxious to
hide its true condition from the examiner.
The two men were convicted and sentenced.
When arraigned the defendants objected to
the Jurisdiction of the state court, contend
ing that the crime alleged was one against
the laws of the United States, and, there
fore, cognizable in the federal and not the
state court.
OUTCOME OF THEIR TRIAL.
The court, however, oyerruled this plea,
and the case went to trial: The jury at
first reported that they had been unable to
agree, but when they were polled by the
judge in open court it was ascertained that
tie jury was agreed on verdict Of guilty
on the first two counts, but were divided on
the last two. The prosecuting attorney
thereupon entered 1loL pros. as to the
latter two counts, and the jury
then brought in verdict of
guilty. 1t is maintained in behalf
of Cross and White that this action Of the
judge in polling the jury deprived them of
their constitutional rights under the Four
teenth amendment 1t is on these two
questions of the jurisdiction of the state
court and of the polling of the jury that
the case comes before the supreme court for
decision. w. R. Henry appeared in behalf
of Cross and White. Attorney General
Davidson of North Carolina represented
the state.
