Charge.
Attorneys Discuss the State oil
Affairs Pending Settlement of
the Knight Suit.

There were no new developments In the af-
fairs of the Peoples Home Savings Bank yes

1t may be said. though, that the parties on
either side are watching each other with the
same eagerness that a cat does a mouse, and
that any movement is likely TO pfecipitate a

ceiver Sheehan still holds sway and does not
seem to be bit discOmposed because the Su-
preme Court decided in the first suit, and
against Judge hebbards opinion. that he has
no right there. He now elIngs TO his position
by virtue OF his reappointment by Judge Heb
bard in the Knight suit. In this case knight
sued as stockhOder. and asked for the ap-
pointment OF a receiver. Judge Hebbard re-
sponded by appointing Sheehan. A motion
was made 10 set aside this order. and the mat
ter will come up to-day 1t is understood.
