TightetiiRg the Coils.

NASHVILLE, Nov. Sin the Porter
field trial today the testimony showed
that w. ]. Wood had two. notes in the
bank aggregating $4,000. He wanted to
borrow money from the bank and Porter
field gave him the notes, substituting
therefor scrap of items, afl accnmula-
ton of notes held against insolsent
parties.
E. r. Richardson, director of the
bank and in chargS of it after the failures
testified that he went to Porterfeld's
house to see him in regard to calling a
meeting of the directors. While there
Porterfeld voluntarily confessed to him
that he was guilty and expected to go to
Jail and probably to the penitentiary;
that all he asked was that his friends
keep him from going to Jail.
Several of the directors testified that
Porterfeld had attended meeting of
the directors after the failure and COM
fessed that he had betrayed the bank!
that he neither asked or expected SYM
pathy or pity.
The defense fought hard to exclude
this testimony on the ground that 1t
was evidence in chief, but Judge Sage
everruled them and said that defendant
could be called back to refute the evil
dence.
Porterfie1d was recalled and he claimed
that he was very sick when he talked to
Richardson. He did not deny making
the statement attributed to him.
