mitting from the first that there was lit
tie evidence against him. Mr.. Allen
since the failure OF the bank has main
tained that the appropriation of the
funds and the manipulation of the ac-
counts by Cashier David III. Lewis were

When the last man had fallen. and the

their senses. one of them was dispatched
TO Vintar for bull cart. When the
transportation arrived the bodies OF the
dead men were piled upon 1t, and they
were taken into the town and displayed
