BANK OFFICERS ON STAND
STORY OF A SPECIAL DELIVERY
LETTER wITHDRAwN By DAVIS.
When Officer of Capitol National Bank
Went to Washington Da-
Wis Resigned.

The examination of the affairs of the
Peoples National Bank of Washington for
the benefit of the jury in the United States
Court continued yesterday. President
Burke, of the bank, was the stand in
the morning, and in the afternoon James
NJ. Ogden, a director of the bank, A. r.
of Louisville, and the postmaster and night
clerk of the Washington pOstofflce testified
Richard C. Davis. until last August cashier
of the bank, sat with his attorneys He
is charged with embezzlement. The case
proceeded smoothly. though slowly, and.
as Mr.. Healing said. II Was necessary to
"dig things out"
Mr.. Ogden said that the nearest Davis
came to an explanation of the banks in
debtedness to the Capital National Bank
of this city was that he said there must
be some mistake" He was entirely will
ing to deed his property to protect the
bank when he was asked to do it. Mr.
White, of Louisville, was called on to ex-
plain the dealings of his bank with the
Washington institution. This matter will
be continued this morning.
The two men from the Washington post
office were present to testify as TO Davis's
withdrawal of a letter addressed 10 the
Capital National Bank This letter re-
ferred to the overdraft that the Indianap-
oils bank held against the Washington
bank 1t bore a special delivery stamp
After the letter was mailed, according to
the testimony, Davis called at the post
office about o'clock in the evening and
asked that it be returned to him. 1t was
found in a pile of mail and he took ii away.
Later he recovered another letter which
was addressed 10 the Union National Bank
of Louisville. The night clerk did not see
these letters again, though Davis called
him up by telephone the next day and said
he had remailed them. The result of these
complications was that an officer of the
Capital National Bank went to Washing
ton to clear the matter up. Davis trans
ferred property to the bank to cover the
shortages and then resigned as cashier.
