ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
President j. A. Erickson Of the Failed
First National Bank Of Minot
Sentenced to Prison for
Five Years.

In the United States court at Fargo
last week ]. A. Erickson, president Of
the recently failed First National bank
of Minot, changed his plea Of not guilty
to one of guilty. There were two in
dictments, including twenty-six counts,
against him and the case was so strong
there was no hope of acquittal. On
advice of his attorneys he threw him
self on the mercy of the court.
Erickson's high living and inexpe-
rience is thought to have been more
responsible for the wreck of the bank
than any criminal intent.
The wreck appears to have been so
complete that nothing was left for the
depositors.
Making false returns to the comp
troller of the currency was the techni-
cal charge upon which he pleaded
guilty.
Erickson vas sentenced the follow
ing day to five years at hard labor in
the government prison at Sioux Falls
on the charge of making false reports
to the controller. 1t "a the lightest
sentence that could be imposed under
the statutes.
In pr%onouncing sentence Judge Ami
don expressed sympathy with the de-
PENDANT in this particular case, as lack
of criminal intent had been shown.
Erickson explained that the directors
had been lax and exercised no super
vision of the banks affairs. He had
requested such action at the last meet
ing in January, and the directors prom
ised to do something later on.
Erickson broke down when the SEN
tence was imposed.
Erickson has been taken to Sioux
Falls to begin serving his five-year
term in the penitentiary. His wife ar
rived at Fargo from Minot to bid him
goodby.
