court accordingly ordered that the bail Of
those two defendants be renewed.
"Asa p. Potter" called the clerk, and
the defendant responded by walking to
the center of the room and facing the
clerk.
The defendant was then explained his
right to object to the persons to act as
jurors in his trial, and after this piece of
advice the impanelling Of the jury W
begun.

and defendant are:

and patiently listened.

teller's books overstating the amount of
legal tender notes, gold certificates and
gold coin which the bank had in its pos
session on certain alleged dates. He is ac-
cused of having knowledge of the true
amount of such legal tender notes and
gold coin then on hand. IL Is further al
legged that he made the false entry with
the intent to injure and defraud the bank
ing association, and some counts assert
the intent to injure and defraud certain
persons unknown.
Certain counts charge an intent on the
part of Mr.. Potter to deceive the bank ex-
aminer to be thereafter appointed by the
comptroller of the currency.
1t took 40 minutes for the clerk to read
the indictment.
District Attorney Hoar had not finished
his argument when the court adjourned.
Before adjourning. the court said to the
jury;
A Warning.
Gentlemen, have reason to believe
that there will be some reports Of this case
in the newspapers apd also believe that
they will be fair. But IL Is not at all inn
probable that they will be 80 reported and
commented upon that they should not be
known to you In that form. 1t is also
likely that counsel may argue some ques-
tions which 1t is not'advisable with a view
to an unprejudicial trial that you should
know Of, and these may appear In the pub.
lie prints, so that you should abstain from
reading newspapers during the course Of
the trial. You will also not talk about the
case until 1t is finally given to you for
your verdict. You are also to distinguish
between mere statements OF counsel and
phe evidence. You will try the case solely
npon the evidence and the law governing
the case"
