T'hSI NATIONAL BANK AT PEN
OlETON TAKES IMPORTANT
PART IN NATTER.
Cashier G. M. Rice Files an Affidavit
Giving His Construction of the
Federal Statutes.

At Pendleton G. NJ. Rice, cashier of
the First National bank, has filed an
affidavit in the Wade cases in which
he gives few legal opinions as to the
construction of section so" of the fed
eral statutes and the legal relation Of
the bank to c. B. Wade and his trans
actions. John J. Balleray, one of the
attorneys for the depositors, files a
counter affidavit in which he says that
Rice is not a lawyer and knows moth
ing about the business.
The bank contends that Wade act
ed independent of the bank and out of
his authority when he accepted money
from the depositors the said money to
be loaned out at a certain per cent
interest. In his affidavit Rice says
that it is impossible for the bank to
communicate with Wade concerning
this matter as Wade left Pendleton on
or about the Gath day of January and
Rice aftirms that he believes Wade
went to California and from there to
Honolulu. Further Rice says it is his
firm belief that Wade will not return
to the state of Oregon.
In answer to this Balleray files an
affidavit in which he cOncurS with Rice
in the belief that Wade will not return
to the state of Oregon. Balleray is OF
the opinion that Rice knows why Wade
will not return and expresses that
opinion in parag raph in which he
says that Wade was forger and that
| the bank assisted him, Wade, in get
ting out of the state. He also asks il
the affidavit why the bank doesn't get
Wade to come back to Oregon and
| testify if the evidence would have such
| important bearing on the case.
