The arguments will begin Monday. Brown
himself was the only witness for the de-
Tense and he was on the stand the greater
part of the day. His chief defense in the
false report to the comptroller OF the cur
rency was that he had trusted to his as

of the items and he was really not aware
OF what the report contained. Senator
Healy conducted fierce cross-examina-
ton, in which he forced Brown to admit
that he was at least guilty of carelessness
in the conduct OF the bank. The impress
sion prevails that Brown will be convicted.
