FARGO, N. D., Oct. 25.-The case Of
former State Treasurer L. e. Booker
came to a sudden termination in the
United States court to-day by Judge
AmIdon directing the jury to bring In a
verdict OF acQulttal. An error in the In
dictment dawn by former United
States District Attorney Bangs was the
cause Of Judge Amldon's action. The
action charged Booker with making
false returns to the controller OF the
currency as to the amount OF money on
hand on certain days while he was
president OF the Grand Forks National
Bank. Judge Amldon held that Book
er should have been indicted for aiding
and abetting In making false returns as
he merely signed the statement as pre-
pared and subnitted by employees of
the bank, and did not direct the false
statements. There is another case
against Booker. charging embezzle-
ment, which win come up at this term
OF court. Judge AmIdon's decision In
the Booker case Is the first one In the
United States courts bearing directly
on the point Of the guilt OF bank off,
Gals In signing an order or statement
prepared by others.
