 In November, 1903, 1 borrowed 5000 from Doctor Ferguson, which gave to the International Bank.
 November 25th, 1903, while in san Francisco, where 1 had gone from here, l borrowed $4,600 upon my own personal note, endorsed, and wired the money to the Inter national Bank in Nogales. Tele- gram produced and admitted in evidence
 January 2d, 1904, l deposited to the credit of L. H. Rhuart in New York. the sum of $6,000, which was wired to the Consolidated National Bank in Tucson, shipped by ex- press to Mr. Rhuart the same evening, delivered to Mir. Rhuart and included in the funds of the Bank the following morning. Tele- grams and letters confirming the transaction admitted in evidence and read.
 A few days later a shipment of ST 900 was made by the lnterna- tional Bank to the City National Bank in New York, and telegram was sent releasing to me $6,000 of that shipment. Telegram admit ted in evidence and read That was my last transaction with the International Bank.
 The total amount of money l drew from the International Bank between November 9, 1903, and December 10th, 1904, was S7306.44; /; and between those dates 1 had en- dorsed for and loaned the Bank 5000. At that time 1 was ab- solutely solvent.
 When l came in November, 1903, l made a cursory examination of the affairs of the Bank. To have made a thorough examination would have required four or five weeks. 1 should have had to go through the books for several years back, checked up the bills receiv- able and investigated the solvency of numerous notes. l had not the time to do all that. Another req son why l did not was that l had sold my shares in the Bank to Dessart, and was not interested in going thoroughly into it's condi- ton.
 Sold my shares to Dessart. Said to him: "I don't live here: live m New York-too far away. am not satisfied. You buy my stock. Twill be easy with you, but 1 want security He gave me the Swain cheek. 1 delivered the stock to Dessart, 1 had no transaction with swain. Dessart gave me the check, endorsed it and handed it back to Dessart. It was deposited 10 my account.
 Two or three hours afterwards made up my mind did not want open account So asked for certi neates of deposit, which were given me. Drew my check for $11, 1875 'o pay for same.

 Swain to Lewis, April Sth, 1903. Auditor here today. He suggested, | reduction of A. c. c. bond ac- count.
 Replying to inquiry from Frank lin witness said: l took bond ac- count to be Arizona Commercial Company's account. Bank had no bond account. Arizona Commer- cial Company had an account with the Bank. Saw balance of the Arizona Commercial Co.,, when 1 was here in November. Did not look into it specially
 Swain to Lewis, April 25, 1903. Believe Dessart will pull things through all right. Give me your views of sale to Southwestern Com. mercial Company. Can get money and a large block of stock. Busi- ness is good in the store. Dessart is trying to get Marleau to loan $25.000 from the Jund estate
 Replying to inquiry witness said Arizona Commercial Company was a corporation-customer of h. ternational Bank, depositing, check ing and borrowing money. Cannot recall amount of overdraft by that company.

 Witness continuing: November 4th, 1903, overdraft of Arizona Commercial Company was $20,- 431.0S. Was aware that day that ledger showed the overdraft.
 Mexican money ledger of Bank, A. c. Co.,, account, in evidence
 Witness: November 4th, 1903, overdraft on that account in Mex ican money, was $947S.50 which at 45c. was between $4,000 and $4, 300 gold. Looked it up in general way; made calculation that total of oveldraft of Arizona Commer- cial Co.,, was about $25, ,000. Did not verify the figures.
 Was unaware of transfer to Southwestern Commercial Com pany until about November Sth. The books showed nothing of it. Business was going on next door as usual, with apparently large stock of goods, busy clerks, and the old sign on the window. Arizona Commercial Co.," Nov ember Sth l found that the stock of the Arizona Commercial Co.,, had been sold to the Southwestern Commercial Co.,, for $l5,000 pre- ferred stock and $10,000 common stock in the latter company.

Received no advice of action of the board of directors upon that letter.
 Redirect examination: After sending my letter of February 20th, 1903, received letters from both Dessart and Swain. Letter from Swain dated March 1lth en- closed call for stockholders meet ing April 18th, 1903. Acknow- lodged receipt of my letter of re- signation. and gave some details of the Banks business. In my letter to Swain February 20th l enclosed carbon copy of my letter to Dessart same date. Complained that re- ceived no statement of Bank s business, and asked what had been done with my stock.
 Letter written to Dessart, ac- companying letter of resignation called for, produced and admitted in evidence. Substance of letter Is that under existing conditions witness had no desire to remain in the corporation or directory, and stock was for sale. Iftreated prop erlv would stay, and would send business which would make it worth while. If he remained he must be kept properly posted or dropped entirely. Enclosed proxy. l
 Witness received no specific re- ply to that letter.
 Letter from Dessart to Lewis acknowledging receipt of proxy called for Witness had not brought it. Banks letter press copy pro- duced and read from book. Wit ness acknowledged receiving origi- nal, and copy admitted in evid- ence. Stated that Swain had sent statement and would continue to do so from time to time. Sonora Mining x Milling Co.,, had bodily fired writer and would disconnect himself with that concern Am in favor of your continuing as vice president and director. Will do what other stockholders wish
 Letter from Lewis to Dessart, dated March 11th, 1903, read and admitted. Lewis asked advice of result of annual election, and de- mands specific information of the transactions of the Bank. One statement received shows undivided profits. But profits have vanished and there was nothing to show where they had gone. If dividends had been declared writer had re- ceived no notice thereof If the Bank would not give the informa ton desired, and which was right fully his, writer would ask Terri torial Bank Controller
 Letter from Dessart to Lewis, dated March l6th, 1903, submitted in evidence. Dessart wrote he had written on the 12th, and had since received Lewis damnable letter of 11th. Was he in good senses when he wrote? Writer had taken up Lewis and thrown over friends and neighbors of long ,-aarc ctandinU to do So Had

Similar assurances in the past not fulfilled Waited ten months and wrote you. Replied you did not intend fulfill ment Received proxy. Do you want me to use it?
 Lewis reply to that letter and to letter of March 18th, dated New York March 23d, 1903. Comment- ing in latter Lewis wrote: Nothing in my letter of 11th to cause such resentment. Swain's statement showing $311S undivided profits; and where they had gone. Had statement been sent three months ago would have saved all this correspondence Your attention is called to concluding paragraph, of my letter, in which 1 say l believe you can explain. Bank is public institution. What l wanted was only routine matter, and you should supply it. Upon your failure had a right to ask Bank Controller for it. You are too thin skinned. Simply wanted inside information which is my right. How many months since you pro- missed me statement of the Inter- national Trust Company? You ought to realize that l should note a difference in profits. Certainly bank which earns only $646 net upon capital of $50,000 is not earning much money.
 Witness instanced to the court the bank in Phoenix, conducted many years by NJ. w. Kales, whose principal stockholder and a director was Sol Lewis of San Francisco. Every day for fifteen years, a copy of trial balance was sent Mr. Lewis in San Francisco.
 Attorney Franklin asked for all correspondence between Dessart, Swain and Lewis.

 Letter of Lewis to Swain. dated New York, March II, 1903, sub mitted in evidence and read, Re- quests advice of result of the Bank election March 4th, 1903.

 Another letter Lewis to Swain, same date says: January 2d you sent statement of Bank, and wrote that you would forward items of expense the following day.
