Famous lie Mars SwindIe Case Results
in Disagreement, 10 to 2.
LeMars, March 1S.--The jury in the
case Of the state against John Gref.
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses from the German Amer
lean Savings bank, after being out
twenty four hours, failed to agree. and
was discharged The members of the
jury stood ten for conviction and two
for acquittal. The case has excited con-
siderable interest, owing to the prom
inence Of the defendant and his
methods OF doing business John
GreY gained notoriety two years ago
in January, when he filed a petition
in bankruptcy, his liabilities being
scheduled at nearly $4,000. He was
and is extensively engaged in feeding
cattle and stock farming at his home
in Meadow township. The schedule
OF liabilities showed he had borrowed
money from anybody who would lend
1t to him, and his neighbors and rel
atives were among those who suffered
from his failure.
In the criminal case tried in the
district court the past few days Greff
was accused OF obtaining $500 from
the German American Savings bank
fraudulently, the contention being
that in April, 1904, he went to Mr..
Bolser, president OF the bank, and
asked for loan of $4,000, represent
ing at that time that all he owed was
from $4,000 to $4,000, which was
cattle paper that he wanted to take
up before repaying the $4,000. and
that he owned 400 acres of land.
The prosecution undertook to show
that Greff must have known at the
time that his Indebtedness was far In
excess OF $4,000 or $4,000. when he
failed for 100000 few months later.
The evidence went to show that
Greff took the money he borrowed
from the German American Savings
bank IN LeMars and paid $4,000 OF It
itno the bank Of Remsen, to which he
was heavily in debt. borrowing from
Peter to pay Paul. A large number
of witnesses were put on the stand,
among whom were old friends and
neighbors, and brother of the de-
PENDANT, who had lent Greff money,
or had sold him their stock and corn
on time, taking his note in payment,
and these came to testify against
him.
w. ID. Creglow and other bankers
and business men OF, Remsen testified
to the defendants Indebtedness, tend
ing to show that 1t was far more than
