Blaffer was lending b n OF
the institution to a speculative plant
ing company, in which he was inter-
ested, and cast doubt upon the lnteS-
rity of the institution.
Herman denied responsibility at the
time. but admitted it when he went
to trial. Louis A. HOFFMAN, VINO was
business manager of the paper haV-
ing avoided trial by turning states
evidence.
The maximum penalty for the Of
tense is 81, 900 fine and two years I'M
rrisonment in the parish prison.
The case was one of the first or It's
kind ever tried here. The run caus-
ed the withdrawal of $4,000 from the
institution in two days, hundreds or

one of the strongest in the city, and
