He has had no attack of the commissions

Respectfully yours,
Mrs. G. Ii. WOODW0RTH.
No liquid kidney remedy could have

remedies would have made such a recovery
impossible Alcohol infiames the tiny filter

do their work. Kidney-Wort Tablets con-
tain no alcohol. They cure kidney d.
seases where other remedies have no effect.
The spring is favorable to the beginning
OF kidney troubles. The dampness leads
to colds; baekaehes are prevalent. Every
one should watch any change that takes
place In the urine.

Tzriming and Cornell Falsifed 4c-
counts Of Monmouth Trust Co.

Freehold. \. J.. Dec. 28-Albert c. Twining
former president and David Q. Cornell. former
treasurer. of the Monmouth Trust Company of
Asbury Park were convicted to-day CT falsfy
ing the accounts and minutes Of the company.
Samuel W. Kirkbride. of Asbury Park. who
was on the stand when court adjourned last
Thursday. was called in rebuttal when the trial
began. He said that the Athletic Association
of Asbury Park had turned over its property
to James A. Bradley. 1t had previously been
testified that Mr.. Twining had drawn $500 from
the Athletic Associations account to make up
a deciency in the Mills estate account
Mr.. Twining asked by Prosecutor Foster
what authority he had for using $500 belonging
to the Athletic Associa ton to meet the note of
the Mills estate
Mr.. Arrowsmith here interrupted saying that
that the Trust Company had overdrawn the
Mills account. and that Mr.. Twining took $500
of the Athletic Associations money to make up
the deficiency.
M. Foster asked why SO much had been taken
when the deficiency was only about half the sum
appropriated Mr.. Arrowsmith objected to the
question and was sustained.
Before counsel for the defendants began their
closing arguments Mr. Foster was asked to out
line his summing up for the State. In response
the prosecutor said the defendants were charged
with embezZling large portion of the funds
OF the Mills estate We have shown, he said,
THAT Twining was president and Cornell treas
urer of the Monmouth Trust Company. which
was the executor of the Mills estate. Twining
testified that Cornell drew all the checks of the
company. We have proved that $4,000 was
taken from the Mills estate and only 5000 put
back. Now, we ask, where did the missing
81 600 go to? I contend that only Twining and
Cornell had anything to do with the money
At the end of the prosecutors remarks John
Hawkins counsel for Cornell. said the defend
ants were not charged with keeping accounts
incorrectly, but were accused of using large
told the Jurors to remember that no witness
had testified that the defendants ever used any
Of this money for their own benefit. The prin-
cipal evidence, he said, had been given by Bank
Examiner Fredenburgh, who had testified that
the books of the company had balanced to
cent. Mr.. Hawkins contended that Cornell had
a right to draw the transfer checks and to make
them out TO Twining. as the latter was presi-
dent of the Monmouth Trust Company.
Mr.. Hoffman, counsel for Twinlng, said the
prosecutor had said he would prove that the
defendants were thieves and robbers and that
they had robbed the dead. He thought the
State had failed utterly TO prove these allega-
tions.
Prosecutor Foster in his summing up pro-
duced various exhibits introduced at the trial,
including the "Twinng Specials Judge Heisley
delivered a brief charge.
The verdict was reached on the first ballot.
The defendants were allowed TO go home under
tail. TO await sentence. There are eleven other
indictments against them, all of which go over
Until the January term.
