cunied twenty-five minutes. Brown and

Johnson Whatever may have been mis-
sins of omission in the conduct of the
bank ii has never appeared that he ap-
propriated one cent for his own benefit,
nor can 1t be said that he profited ore
dollar by the failure of his bank. They
talk about him looting the bank; that
would imply that there must be loot some

is broke What little he owns is so heav-
