SECOND TRIAL
Of THE NEVADA
BANK LOOTERS

Again in Court.

Verdict.
DEANE'S STORY OF THE PLOT
BE TELLS OF THE METHODS
USED IN THE SWINDLE.

Carl Becker and James Creegan, &C
cused of having swindled the Nevada
Bank out Of s22. 600 by means of a raised
draft, are again on trial before Judge
Wallace. The jury was completed TO try
the notorious forgers yesterday morning
and the opening of the afternoon session
saw Frank i. Seaver. alias Deane, an
accomplish who turned States evidence,
on the stand telling the story of the
planning of the scheme that was so sue
cessfully CARED out
A quartet of forgers are said to have
shared honors in the swindle which re-
suited in the arrest of Deane, Creegan
McCIosky and Becker. Deane was fore
most in the conspiracy, his associates now
on trial claim, but the evidence given in
the last trial showed that such was not the
case. That he was associated with the
defendants and carried out the plans
they laid he does not deny, but that ne
was the ringleader and Responsible Tor
the sins of the forgers IN custody ne
does deny and the evidence bears out his
statements. The alleged accomplce, Jo-
seph McClosky, was charged with com
plicity in the crime, tried and acquitted,
Deane has turned States evidence and
the people now seek to place out OF
harms way his noted pals, Becker .. the
mIddleman" Becker and Creegan were
convicted on their last trial, but the
lack of evidence tending to corroborate
the story given by Deane resulted in the
verdict being reversed by the Supreme
Court The want, it has been stated, has
been supplied since then and the pros
pect of the prisoners spending the re-
mainder of their lives in prison is ex-
The morning session yesterday was
dull with the exception that Attorney
Dunno who, with his partner, II. G.
McPike, is caring for the interests of the
prisoners, occasionally livened matters by
referring TO Attorney Ach, special coun-
sci for the prosecution, as the represent
alive of the Bankers Association. This
usually brought forth an answer, spicy
If not grilling, from the lips of opposing
counsel
The afternoon session opened at
o'clock and Deane was Immediately
placed upon the stand. He reiterated the
story of how he had been approached
by the prisoners in New York; how he
came to this coast and opened offices
and an account with the Nevada Bank;
how the draft was raised; how 1t was
cashed, and the manner in which the
escape was made to the East. Califor-
MIA was selected for the field Of opera
tons, he said, owing to the richness of
its banks and the laxity Of their officials.
His story was interrupted again and
again by counsel for the defense, but 1t
was, however, all placed before the jury
before adjournment. To-day the case will
go on, and the State hopes to build up
q case against the forgers that will
stand.

W departs f,n to to take ev much needed rest
Nv after the arduous labors which
have occupied his attention since
his installation into the priesthood, he
will carry with him something more sub
stantial than the well wishes and Cod
speeds of his friends in this city, for
while the hearty hand-clasp and fearful
eve which greeted him last night at the
reception at the parlors of the Pioneer
building were of a nature to touch the
heart and fill the soul with pleasure,
there was that given which showed the
appreciation of his friends was not con-
fined to words alone.
After an hour of conversation, instru-
mental music and song, Judge r. Y.
Hayne advanced to the center OF the
room and presented, in well chosen
words a magnificent address from his
friends to Father Yorke. The address
was in Illuminated text on embossed vel
lum. and the whole was bound III seal
and ornamented with silver. Accompany
ing this beautiful gift was one that was
not so ornamental, but which also car
ried testimonial of love and apprecla-
tion-a check for $1,000
Judge Hayne addressed Father Yorke
briefly and then read the address, as fol-
lows
Rev. p C. Yorke. San Francisco, Cal.-Rev,
erend and Dear Sir: Your friends have hearo
with sorrow that the strain of your many du-
ties has been such to render II necessary
that you show yourself the mercy OF little
rest and relaxation.
Your brethren of the clergy have testified
their fraternai regard and we of the laity have
deemed it a not uniting occasion TO express
our appreciation of your services TO the COM
Tnunity and our kindly feelings to yourself,
personally by asking your acceptance Oh this
accompanying testimonial.
It is proper TO say that, while this has been
confined mainly TO those who have personal
regard for you, IL is not merely because or
such regard that have acted. 1t is because.
also that we recognize your services to the
cause of religious freedom. It was no light
thing that a set of should band together
for the purpose of preventing nearly third
of their fellow citizens from sharing in the
government of the country upon the sole ground
of their religious belief. AS you have often
nointed out with a power that Is beyond US,
mis- is practical violation of the provision
that no religious test shall ever be required
as a qualification to any office or public trust
under the United States" and of the provision
of the constitution of California that the free
exercise and enjoyment of religious profession
and Worship without discrimination or prefer
ence shall forever be guaranteed In this state
and of the spirit OF American liberty those
who laid broad and deep the foundations Oh the
commonwealth well knew that II one rehglon

were allowed to be made the ground of pro-
scriptfon the lust OF place ana power would
find pretext TO place others under proscrip-
ton and that the prescription would not stop
at exclusion from share in the government
but would extend to infringements Of equally
sacred rights, for the protection OF which the
government exists. There is no more dangerous
treason to institutions than the oppression OF
class by another, ana the worst FORM VI
this is where the oppression is on the ground
of religion, and there must never be any such
It is astonishing that in this age and coun-
try there should have been any need 10 combat
such a movement, and yet. such is the force
of prejudice of bigotry and of ignorance such
the herd of self-seekers, SO great the number
~ tirid ones that If the movement had not
baen vigorously opposed il might have attained
serious proportions. You opposed it. You
showed those who were open to reason the
others that II was not proftable-that it ought
not to be- You shattered it. You did this by
of honest heart, and 1t was wen done; nor
was it to be accomplished by dainty taps, as
of a lady's fan: they were good; downrlght

We hope that you viii be benefited by your

Father Yorke was so overcome with
emotion that it was some time before he
could find words with which to thank his
friends for their testimonial of apprecia-
ton. He said In part:
It is very hard on such an occasion 10 ma
words to thank you for the kind sentiments
which you have expressed and the generosity to
me and appreciation of the work which It has
been my duty to take up and carry on When
one feels deeply one prefers silence TO yoicing
sentiments, and were 1t not that you might
take II ar1iss l would prefer that silent
gratitude which lies at the bottom of my heart
In this country we are living under govern
ment that has not yet grown out OF the expert
mental stage It is a system upon which the
governments of the Old World look with jeal-
Gus eve at it Is system that has been
In under
this Government every man stands an equal
chance and every man is equal before the law
and before God And b. the constitution of
this Government shall be put to pains
and penalties because of his religious belief.

subject some inquiry, and he has been

which to choose, so in looking for

lands which 1 have seen are far supe-
rior in every respect and beyond my
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu
merable kinds of water fowl, while fish
are very abundant. On all sides we see
innumerable stacks of grain, proving
beyond doubt the fertility of the soil.
On either side of the track can be seen
in addition to the grain herds of cattle,
horses and f1ocks of sheep. l have
travelled over a great portion of the
Western States and have seen nothing
to compare with this country. One

ment of the Interior at Ottawa, Canada,

ton to those who are not within reach
