While discussing the matter of the
troubles and trials Of banking business
Of today President James Espy Of the
Ohio Valley National bank said to a
group Of friends: II tell you that we do
not know anything about the peculiari-
ties Of the banking business. have
heard officials Of the bank when I was be-
ginning in the business rehearse the expe-
riences in early banking in Virginia. As
iswell known. the residents of that state
were not much given to business tactics
Whenever they had occasion to issue q
note, and it was quite frequent, the bank
officials had to drive around to the vari-
GUS farms, or to the place where the
maker lived, and it was quite difficult to
get them to sign the original, but much
more SO renewal. Experts got SO they
could tell whether the note was renewed
in the house or in the field, as they could
tell whether it was written on the POM
mel of saddle or at a regular desk."-

At the time of the robbery Crosby was
so drunk that he did not reach the house
at all. but Stone arrived soon after the
murders were committed. and because
he was late the other conspirators wal
lowed him in the blood Of the victims
and in that condition permitted him to
