The list of notes forming the basis
of the grand jury's consideration be-
came public during the day, when
attorneys for Receiver Fetzer filed
them in the court of Referee in Bank
ruptcy Frank l.. Wean in connection
with the banks claim against the
Steel Ball concern. y.
The receiver said he has been un-
able to find the makers, endorsers or
guarantors of certain notes and that
he does not believe they can be To-
Gated. He thinks they are all fcti-
tious. .-.-.-.
President William D. Tilden, presi-
dent of the Steel Ball company, for
whom a bench warrant was issued,
appeared at the Office of the states
attorney and surrendered. "
