Washington. Dec. 27.-President Mckinley
mas again dealt leniently with a convicted
banker by committing a term of five years
to one of two years in the case of E. NJ.
Reynolds. president of the Marshall (Tex)
National Bank. Reynolds was convicted
and sentenced to five years Imprisonment at
Fort Leavenworth for making false returns
of the condition of his bank to the Comp
troller of the Currency. He was regarded as
one OF the most prominent business men of
Marshall and was largely interested in tha
corporate interests of the city. The Presi.
dent committed the sentence because, in his
opinion. the offense of which Mr.. Reynolds
was convicted was purely technical and be-.
cause he had made good the losses sustained
by turning over his personal property The
sentence would have expired because of coed
behavior on March Is. 1901.
