Chicago. Nov. IA clash between
counsel for John R. Walsh and Judge A.
b. Anderson, who is presiding at the trial
OF the former president of the Chicago
National Bank, marked the closing mo-
ments Of the first days proceedings.
In that clash the judge curtly declined
TO order the United States district attor-
ney TO turn over to the defense copies of
entries in the banks 6 books that are t. be
placed in evidence by the government TO
support the charge of the misappropria-
ton Of $l5OOC,OOO.
As second proposition. the court re-
fused TO direct that the district attor-
ney make any arrangement with the de-
fense as to the bringing in Of the bank
books. A peremptory order was made
that 7. ]. Jackson. cashier Of the Chi
eago National, should answer the gov
ernments subpoena at once. and produce
all the books in his custody. In vain
John S. Miller and William J. Hynes
struggled 10 compel the government to
name the order in which the books are
wanted.
will not sustain any such motion"
said the Judge. This case viii have TO
be tried just like aay other case"
Court Is Adjourned.
There was an air OF impatjence and
OF rebuke in his manner of denying the
motion. The judge reached for his hat
and said shortly to the deputy marshal:
Adjourn court until 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning"
The clash came after twelve men had
been rendered by the government TO the
defense as a jury to try the issue. One
of these had been excused. and his place
had been filed. The jury box was filed.
with only the possibility Of five men
being relieved upon peremptory chal-
lenge. The government used one of its
three challenges. All of the twelve men
are either members Of or attendants at
some Protestant church.
Jury'S Surprising Answer.
The rather interesting question as 10
how the jurymen regarded the financial
situation brought from each Of the twelve
men the reply that he did not hold any
prejudice against the banks. and that he
did not expect any bank to pay ali its
depositors AT one time. Coming from a
list Of farmers, the replies sounded like
a 'cheer-up' chorus for the hard luck
population. and gave a thorough insight
into the amount Of support that CITY
banks are getting from the country dis
trictS
Tomorrow. the jury, which has been
carefully guarded, will pass in review
before the attorneys. and then il will be
decided whether the present list viii
stand, or whether the challengers shall
be used. II is expected the jury will be
accepted and the real trial commenced
before the noon hour.

Do You Want to Know

There is a growing sentiment in THIS
