Harry F. Bachelor, president of the
Stock Growers National bank Of this
city, appeared in the supreme court at
Helena and pleaded not guilty to the
indictments charging him with misap.
propriating $1,000 of the banks funds
Subsequently ex-Gov. Toole. of his
counsel. made a motion to have the case
continued until the next term. He read
an afiidavit in support of the motion. in
which 1t was stated that Bachelor de-
sired to employ w. T.. Cullen. J. X.
Toole and j. w. Strevell as his counsel.
blu was without means to pay them:
that he had been in correspondence with
friends in Illinois and Pennsylvania
with a view OF obtaining the means. but
has as yet been unable to make the nee
essary arrangements. He said that if
the case were continued to the next
term he would make the necessary ar
rangements. The Indictment contained
tifty-eight counts and many of the
charges were brought to his attention
for the first time when the Indictment
were reat. and they will involve great
labor in the preparation of a defense
Bachelor says in his affidavit that If he
has time to inspect the books of the
bark he believes he can explain every
transaction and show that his conduct
has been honorable and consistent with
the best interests of the bank, and that
the alleged false entries in the books
will be shown to have been true entries
and relieve him of any criminal respon-
sibility.
District Attorney Weed said the gov
eminent would prefer that the case be
tried at this term OF court. While there
was no disposition to work any hardship
in the matter yet a day could be set in
this term which would allow ample
time to prepare a defense. Gov. Toole
made some further remarks in supper
of his motion. and Judge Knowles
granted it and set the Ease for the Sec
ond Monday in the April term.
Judge Cullen asked that an order be
made giving Bachelor access to the
books Of the bank. Judge Knowles said
that he would allow that, but the books
must not be taken out OF the hands of
the receiver.
G. r. Middleton. one OF the directors
Of the Stockgrowers' bank pleaded not
guilty, to the charge OF perjury, and was
released on his own recognizance OF $500.
G. L. Merrill, cashier. who was indicted
in CONF tion with Middleton for com
pllcity in the Bachelor transaction. was
given until today to plead. He also
gave his personal bond for 500.
