taken to deal with an emergency II it

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Cashier John S. Hopkins Was the
Whole Bank.

The afternoon sessions opened with
expert testimony by DR.. David Rich
ardson. He said the mental condition
of Charles II. Austin. paying teller
from 1870 to 1896, was such as to pre-
vent him being a competent witness.
This the defense admitted. The hand
writing of Mr.. Austin in the banks
books was identified by Mr. Tabor, who
was recalled The latter also testified
to the Genuineness of the handwriting
of William Roberts, deceased. who was
a bookkeeper from 1855 to 1891, and to
the handwriting of the witness father,
cashier from 1870 TO 1891, and who died
in the latter year
While the witness was testifying the
record of today's vote for United states
senator at Harrisburg was brought in
and handed to Mr.. Quay He put on
his spectacles and, holding it up in
front of him, studied it for some time.
He passed it on to Mr., Sweariugen
who, after a moment, returned it, and
then Mr. Quay held it in his hand
folded for some time.
In cross-examination Mr.. Tabor said
a number of books of the bank were
missing and that as far as he knew
there We're no other bank books eX-
cept those brought into court this
morning. A clash of counsel followed
an additional question by the defense
as to whether the witness ever saw the
red book" This was adjusted by
counsel agreeing that this book, al
present, was not to be considered IN
connection with the other books then
in the court room.
Clay Kemble, assistant cashier and a
director of the bank, followed Mr.
Tabor.
John s. Hopkins was cashier of the
bank, was he not?" asked Mr., Rother,

Cashier of the bank" exclaimed
the witness. He was the whole bank
| He ran the bank"
In reply to further questioning, h
said: "Mr. Hopkins had entire contro
over all call loans and collaterals. No
| body else connected with the bank wa
allowed TO see them, | never saw them
/ don't think Mr., James McManes eve

the business of the bank entirely him
self"
