FRAUD AND
D CEPTION
George Dispsau Makes Serious
Charges in ACtlonAgalnst First
National Bank Of PaWtucket

Chief Justice Matteson and justices
Til 'nghast and Rogers today head a'gu
ments on the case OF George Dispeau VS..
FIRST National Bank Of Pawtucket,
which was before the court on bill, an
swer and proof Complainant alleges
that he had dealings with the bank from
the time OF its organization in 1864 until
1892, and seeks TO open its account with
him from February 1887, and for this
purpose 10 set aside the judgment that
the bank obtained against him Jan. 20.
1892 and his note and mortgage and
other documents given by him on Dec.
20. 1892. IN settlement OF such judgment
and his other then existing indebtedness
TO the bank. and also TO set aside the
sale made by the bank on June 10, 1891,
iu foreclosure of this mortgage and other
dealings between him and the bank.
lie also asks for an account generally
and TO redeem, and rests chiefly upon al
legged frauds and deceptions on the part
OF the late Oiney Arnold in his personal
dealings with the complainant, Arnold
acting AZ the bill alleges. partly for the
hank, but in large measure as the coii-
fidental agent and adviser OF the com
plainant.
The testimony, complainant claims,
fully substantiates the charges. and that
Is clearly proven that the relation be-
tween Mr.. Arnold and himself was one
OF great confidence. and also that the
complainant was not in condition 10
understand the various matters submit
ted 10 him by Mr.. Arnold. The testimony
OF the witnesses for the defence Is held
not 10 substantiate the claim made by
the bank.
Defendant alleges laches on the part ~
the complainant claiming that the-hlll
was not filed until Dec. 10, 1899. seven
years after the settlement OF 1884 and
four and a half years after foreclosure
sale.
The delay on the part OF the complain
ant. the bank claims, was most disastrous
TO It. as Mr.. Arnold became injured soon
after the bill was filed and later died.
Defendant was derived OF his testimony
In support OF its claims
The answer OF the defendant IL claimed
TO be very full and TO show that there
was nothing wrong I'm the accounts. the
accounts being oxamind by experts. In
regard 20 opening up OF the judgment the
defendant maintains that this can only be
done for fraud, extinsic or collateral TO
the matter tried by the first court"
The settlement OF 1892 Is also declared
by the defendant to have been OF great
advantage 10 MIR. Dispeau. as IL gave
him an extension of his Indebtedness
down TO the filing OF the bill.
George b. Barrows. Amasa M. Eaton
and Archibald G. Matteson are counsel
for MIR. Dispeau, and Tillinghast e. Til
linRhast represent the bank.
