He said at that time Major Breese was
very anxious to convert the bank into
a State bank At one time he thought
his plans had matured but bank in
Baltimore, creditor of the Asheville
bank, refused to consider the proposition
The Governments contention along this
line was that Major Breese sought to
change the bank into State institution
in order to escape the prosecution Of
the government. Mr.. Coffin also testified
as to a lot of worthless paper that was
included in the solvent credits of the
institution.
Col. w. H. S. Burgwyn, of Henderson,
formerly a bank examiner, was placed
on the stand by the government. Colonel
BurgWyn testified to substantially the
same facts as were related by Mr.. George
NJ. Coffin. He corroborated the witness
at all material points.
Mr.. G. B. Leonard, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, followed Colonel Burgwyn for the
government. 1t was on account of this
witness that the government asked for
continuance, because of his not appearing
on Tuesday. Mr. Leonard testified that
he had been given several papers by Ma
jor Breese asking that signatures be OBJ
tanned in order that certain banking
rules might be carried out. Leonard ad-
mitted that he secured the endorsement
of several names to these papers.
The government intends to establish
the fact that Leonard was employed by
Major Breese to secure these endorse
ments for the purpose of defrauding
those who had entrusted their money to
the bank.
j. Frank Aldrich, of Buffalo, New York,
receiver of the ,defunct bank, testified
that out of $240,0OO of papers supposed
to be assets of the First National Bank,
he had only been able to realize some
thing over $4,000. The witness regarded
the balance of the notes and other pa
pers as absolutely worthless.

ical Attention.

o'clock today this city was startled by
the intelligence that Miss Marjorie
Lyon, the beautiful and popular young
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs E. w. Lyon,
was dead from the effects of poison.
Investigation proved that while Miss
Lyon had swallowed poison, and was
thought to be dying, the early arrival of
physicians, and prompt use of antidotes
had resuscitated her. At nine o'clock
she is reported out of danger, but as
being restless and in great paint.
Miss Lyon had been taking a mineral
water for indigestion and one Of the
empty bottles had been converted into
a receptacle for wood alchohol used in
a chafng dish. Without noticing she
poured out glass of this and drank it.
DR.. Michaux, fortunately, was passing
the residence when the dreadful mistake
was discovered. and by prompt attention,
in which he was assisted by DR.. Battle,
who was hastily summoned, fatal re-
suits were averted.
