mony Of the Book-Keeper and d.
rectors-Pannill's Good Reputation

IYNCHBURG, VA. March 1.-(Spe-
cial)-The second day Of the Pannill trial
opened this morning with the usual large
crowd in attendance, the number pelng
limited only by the capacity OF the court
room and its approaches.
The accused, accompanied by his father'
mother. and one OF his brothers. entered
the courtroom at $40. He seemed per-
fectly at ease, and bowed and smiled to
his friends present.
Cashier Talley, OF the First National
Bank. was the first witness examined.
Few facts other than those brought out
yesterday in the evidence Of President
Adams were developed. Mr.. Talley ex-
planned the system Of "kiting," by which
Pannill had swelled his ledger account
with the bank from about $l49 In the
month OF January. 1891, to $4,000 in the
single month Of January, 1885.
Mr.. Talley. In reply to a question. stated
that Teller Hammer had said 10 him two
or three days prior to the exposure that
he had none OF Panniirs checks or checks
endorsed by him PannilD in his cash-box
IRREGULARITIES.
Ester Shumate the individual book
keeper of the bank, was examined. and
detailed in effect what had previously
been stated by the president and cashier.
Mr.. Shumate said, however that he knew
there were Irregularities in Pannilrs ac-
count and frequently called Hammers at
tention to them, and Hammer invariably
replied: That's all right; | am watching
PannilPs account, and will be responsible
for it," Shumate also stated that Ham,
ner had allowed him (Shumate) to over
draw his salary sj15, accepting his due-bill
for the amount. He did not dream, how
ever. that Hammer was involved with
the bank.
A number OF directors OF the bank were
called, and testified that they had given
Pannill no authority to overcheck his ac-
count. and knew nothing about IL.
FOR THE DEFENCE.
At this point counsel for the defence
stated that there were several witnesses
for Pannill from abroad, who had i'm
portant business engagements, and asked
that they be allowed to testify now. This
was consented TO by the prosecution, and
the travelling auditor of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, Mr.. Axteh, the first
Mr. McMurdo, travelling
iIeIbHI agent anu MI. ridHh W dihel' Va
the Kanawha Dispatch, took the stand
and testified that Pannil's reputation
among the officials of the company had
always boen the very best.
The Auditor who checked up Pannllrs
accounts with the Chesapeake and Ohio
on February 10Th. said he found
them perfectly correct. III reply to n
question by the District Attorney he said
he did not know the condition of Pannilrs
account February 9th, the day before
he examined 1t. This closed the testimony
for the day. and the court adjourned TIL

IL.

NEW ORLEANS, La. March 23.-The
second trial Of Callahan, one Of the Doodle
aldermen, who was convicted on the INST
trial and granted a new trial. ended to-
day In a mistrial, the jury standing eight
for conviction and four for acquittal.
Callahan was dismissed under bond.
4 rule for contempt IS being prepared
by Attorney General Cunningham against
the editor OF the Daily Item. growing
ont of a severe criticism which appeared
in the Item, taking Judge Noise TO task
for his ruling In the Callahan case. The
article in the Item was written because
the editor conjectured mistrial would
he the result in the Callahan case. The
District-Attorney was referred 10 in COM
plimentary terms. and was eXonerated
from the onus of having not made clear
case against the accused. The failure 20
do SO was attributed to the fact that the
rulings of the Court Were adverse to the
prosecution, and retarded the State in
their efforts to establish the guilt OF Cal
lahan.
