banks were made were reviewed at
length. 1t was pointed out that of the
81, 100000, $780, 900 had been paid be-
fore the wrong doing was discovered
and 100000 was paid upon the discov-
cry.
CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE.
In conclusion, Mr.. Jones said Cole
was undoubtedly guilty of a criminal
misapplication of $780, 900 which he
made good. For the purpose of working
out what the Lovells owed the bank
he personally made loans TO them with
funds directly or indirectly taken from
the bank and concealed by means OF
false entries for which he was GRIMM
ally responsible.
Cole did undoubtedly intend and ex-
pect to repay the bank every dolla-
that he had misapplied. but he used the
funds of the bank unlawfully. with
the knowledge that he was doing
wrong and concealed the transactions
by false entries 1 should add there
is no ground for believing that Cole
has pleaded guilty for the purpose Of
shielding others.
Mr.. Jones then moved for sentence.
Melvin o. Adams, counsel for Mr..
Cole made the plea for the defence,
reciting many mitigating circumstan-
ces. giving especial emphasis TO the ef-
forts of Mr.. Cole 10 prevent the bank
from SUSTAINING losses anu 10 che uc-
tion of the defendant In assuming all
the assets considered questionably by
the directors when he resigned from the
presidency of the Globe bank In 1899.
The facts of Mr.. Coles voluntary re-
turn to Boston TO meet their charges
against him and his plea OF guilty were
cited also as worth consideration In
fixing the penalty in the case.
FULL RESTITUTION MADE.
In conclusion Mr. Adams said: His
whole conduct Is essentially that OF an
honest man. There was full restitution
without any suggestion OF criminal
prosecution, There were no denials to
the officers or to the government.
There was voluntary return and
prompt surrender. There has been an
acquiescence and submission to every
proceeding.

Others took the news sadly with
chins dropping on their chests. with
hard set faces, while with passionate
pain too deep for words they stood
leaning upon their rifles with hands
hard gripped until one would think
the tightened muscles would leave the

the cold steel. Others again crowded
together and looked dumbly from face
