Denver. April 22.-The American National
Bank failed TO open its doors this morning.
a notice being posted on the window that
by order Of the directors the bank is In
the hands of the government" Bank Ex-
aminer Hnlo took charge.
The event caused much excitement and a
run was at once precipitated on the Nation
al Bank Of Commerce. a crowd Of clamOr-
GUS depositors gathering soon after 10
o'clock. The bank stood the drain. and at
noon had paid every check presented. II
is understood the associated banks will
aid the Bank of Commerce should It be
necessary.
The failure Of the American was not I'M
expected In banking circles. one by one its
leading financial hackers have been drop
ping out, and financiers knew that fail
ure was inevitable.
At a meeting Of the associated banks,
held in the First National Bank parlors
last night. proffers to assist the failed
concern were made. If the directors would
do their part. This being refused, the
American was closed.
The failure and the run caused intense
excitement throughout the city and the
crowds gathered about the two banking
houses involved. As the Bank of Com
merce continued to pay off steadily. the
excitement began to subsde. Nothing I'M
usual occurred at the other banks
At 1890 o'clock the run on the Bank OF
Commerce ended after two-thirds of the
depositors had Withdrawn their funds.

is Sane.

Strong Testimony to Prove That He
is Sane.
Atlanta. Ca, April 22.-The Alex Carr
insanity trial before Ordinary Calhoun
was not completed to-day, but will go to
the jury some time tomorrow. The testi-
mony was concluded to-day, and the
speeches begun. When the trial was re-
sumed to-day c. S. Arnold, one of the
jurors. was excused on account of a death
in his family, and the remainder of the
trail will be before eleven jurors.
The state to-day brought out some very
strong testimony to support the contention
that Carr is in possession of his normal
faculties and that he should be held ac-
countable TO the law for the murder of
Capt. King.
Among the witnesses who testified on
this line was DR.. ]. B. Baird. the member
of the expert commission appointed by
Gov. Atkinson to examine Carr, who dis
bers. persisting in the position that Carr
was at that time feigning insanity. DR..
Baird was on the stand a good while to-
day, and at length gave his reasons for
the belief that Carr is sane.
DR.. t. II. KEENAN,, formerly of the state
lunatic asylum, was also of the opinion
that Carr is a sane man. He is an expert
on insanity, and his testimony, as well
as that Of DR.. Baird, had much weight
with the jury.
In addition to the doctors, there were
several Jailors and other parties who have
had opportunity to watch Carr, who tes-
titled to his insanity.
Quite a stir was created during the ex-
animation of Dr. Hugh Hagan, who was
put up by the state. Attorney Arnold, rep
reSenting Carr, sought to bring out the
fact that DIR. Hagan did not believe in
God to destroy the effect of his testimony.
and a spirited colloquy took place be-
tween him and the witness. DIR. Hagan.
however, declared that he was a believer
in supreme being, and the motion to rule
his testimony out made by Mr.. Arnold,
was overruled by the court.
