The County Attorney-We propose to
show
Mr.. Butler asked that the proposition
be made in writing, so that the jury
might not be advised at present what
the state proposed to show. There was
some whispering of counsel before the
court.
The bit of paper which was the sub
ject Of the conference and OF the op-
lection was a note of the Stahlmann
Brewing company for $4,000. The posi-
ton of the state is that the Stahlmann
note was put into the bank TO take up
Hazel NJ. Bickels notes.
The Stahlmann note has been kept
in the background thus far, and was
something of a sensation.
The assistant county attorney SAID:
1--WE propose to show that Bickel could
not have had the right to draw from
the funds of the bank or to take the
notes"
The court decided to sustain the OBJ
lection to the note for the present.

piled the re ceiver.
That was all.
John c. Mullery was called. He was
formerly the clearing house clerk for
the Bank. of Minnesota
Mr. Butler insisted that it was time
him. The state had not done with
Heinlein, who had been temporarily
withdrawn from the stand, and Mr..
Butler had not had opportunity for
cross examination.
After a long debate Mr.. Heinlein was
called.
The county attorney had no ques-
tions to ask him, and Mr.. Butler found
that he did not care to oss-examine.

bank clerks, called to testify to the
clearing house stamps on Bickel
checks, to show that the checks had
been paid
They testified that it was the custom
with all the local banks to cancel the
stamps on checks which were not hon
ored by the banks on which they were
drawn, because of lack of funds. This
was not invariably the case, however,
with checks that passed through the
Germania bank.
The rest of the day was practically
occupied by the county attorney in
offering in evidence the checks drawn
by William F. Bickel on the Minnesota
Savings bank. Mr.. Butler objected
strenuousIy to the Introduction of these
checks in evidence, but they were al
lowed to go in with the exception of
the checks that passed through the
Germania bank.
A few moments before adjournment
yesterday afternoon the state placed
H. M. Temple on the stand. Mr..
Temple is the expert accountant who
has been employed by the receivers
of the Minnesota Savings bank to in
spect the accounts. Mr.. Temple was
testifying concerning certain slips that
he had seen, when court took a recess.
Upon reopening, an adjournment was
taken until 10 a. m. today.
