MANY WITNESSES
 IN WALSH TRIAL Bank Director Testiies That
 He Never Voted J. B. FORGAN ON STAND President of First National Bank Says That Bankers Knew of Walsh's Transactions and Tried To
 Make Him Do Better.

Chicago, December 16.-Maurice Rosen- feld who was director of the Chicago Ma tional bank, testified today in the trial of President John R. Walsh, for misappli- cations of the funds of the bank that as a director he knew the funds of the bank were invested in companies in which MT. Walsh was interested. The invest ments however, were never discussed at the meetings of the directors nor did he ever vote for them. He did not know of any memorandum notes" being held in the bank, and he did not vote that such notes should be placed in the bank. He had no knowledge, he said, that MT. Walsh's checks was carried as cash
 c. K. G. Billings. also a director of the Chicago National bank, testified that he had not attended a meeting of the directors since 1901. He said that he had repeatedly rendered his resignation, but that MT. Walsh each time persuaded him to remain, promising to secure success sor within a short time.
 He knew nothing of the investment of the funds of the bank in the enterprises of MT. Walsh. James B. Forgan, pres- ident of the First National bank of this city, testified that he had informed MT. Walsh a few days proceeding the close of the Chicago National bank that the Chicago Clearing House association could not allow the bank to continue in the shape it then was.
 On December Is, 190o a contract was signed to which the clearing house banks and MT. Walsh were parties, stipulating hat t1aa nf tha hny, ChT l.a purchased by the other banks and the clearing house. and that MT. Walsh and the directors of the Chicago National bank were to guarantee the purchasers against any loss. This agreement, he said, was carried out
 MT. Forgan, continuing his testimony, said that later corporation known as the Chicago Southern Syndicate, was formed and funds were raised to the amount of $2,500,0O0 for the purpose of paying the debts of the Chicago Southern railway and to finish and equip the road
 Asked whether, in his experience as a banker he had ever known of such a thing as memorandum note,' MT. Forgan replied that he never had
 MT. Forgan testified that during the time that the clearing house bankers were directing the affairs of the Chi cago National, after its failure, loans of nine individuals, firms and corporations, aggregating nearly $1O00,O00. were paid He said that at the final settlement Mir Walsh and the old directors of the bank were formally released from all obliga- tons to indemnify the purchasers of the banks assets. He asserted further that the clearing house banks accepted securi- ties held by the Chicago National, the Equitable Trust company and the Home Savings bank at the figures at which they appeared on the banks books to an amount exceeding S4,000,000. It is expect ed that Bank Examiner E. P Moxey will be recalled to the stand tomorrow and that his testimony will practically con- clude the governments case.

 Yolande mines have been looked upon as peculiarly free from the conditions which would indicate the possibility of an ex- plosion. Indeed 1t has been considered one of the model mines of the whole dis trict. It was new and all of the machin- cry and equipment was up-to-date, and the accommodations in the camp for the larly adequate. Dr. c. B. Grove, the president of the Yolande Coal and Coke company. is one of Birmingham's most popular citizens, and he has worked hard to bring his mines up to the high stand ard upon which they are operated.
 The open shop and contract system were employed at Yolande. and the men em- ployed have often expressed themselves we'll satisfied with the considerate man ner in which they were treated by the management.
 While the officials of the company are naturally reticent about discussing the ac- cident during the first shock of the ca lamity yesterday. they are unable yet to state the cause of the accident. It is generally believed in Birmingham. how

ever that the explosion was the result of a windy shot or dust. It is believed that it was not caused by gas, because the mine in the past has been pronounced largely free from gas One of the mys- teries of the accident, however, is how shots came to be made at 10:30 o'clock in the morning. Shooting Is never allowed in the mines at this hour, and if shoot ing was not actually done it may be that after all the explosion was the result of an accumulation of gas. Inspector Gray and Assistant Inspector Hillhouse, who were at the scene of the accident all night, were not ready at late hour to express an opinion as to the cause of the explosion. One of them said that the time for that was not last night that it was their first duty to see to the rescue or the bodies and to get the living men out of the mine if any there should be. One theory expressed last night was that some miner had carelessly dropped stick of dynamite in the mine.
 Reports received last night both by tele- phone and telegraph from Yolande indi- cated that it may be late today before all or the DOQ1eS are tdheI lrOll tlic iiiiie. While the mine normally works between 125 and 150 men, there were less than 100 went to work yesterday. This is always the case on Monday, as the men do not get down to hard work until later in the week. Persons on the scene were unable to say definitely what the number of cas- ualties would be, but the best informed seemed to think that not less than 60 had lost their lives, and that about 25 had received injuries more or less serious, from which most of the victims would recover
 The work of rescue proceeded all night, and reports were received in Birmingham almost every hour as to the manner in which the rescue work was going on. At midnight a telephone message said that 35 bodies had been brought to the surface and that the rescuers believed that there were not less than 20 more in the lower entrances.
