BANK EXAMINER
 GIVES TESTIMONY C. H. Besworth Testifes to
 Walsh's Transactions
WARNINGS WENT UNHEEDED
Mr. Bosworth Tells of Loans Made To Wash's Interests and Promise Made By Walsh Which
 Was Not Kept.

Chicago, December 13.-C. H. Bosworth, a national bank examiner who, prior to assuming that office was president of the Illinois Southern and of the Wisconsin and Michigan Railroad companies, Walsh enterprises, took the stand in the trial of John R. Walsh today and de- scribed conditions which he found to ex- ist in the Chicago National bank when he examined it's affairs in November, 1904. in June, 1905, and December, 1905. He asserted that Walsh had been repeatedly warned by him and by the comptroller of the currency to unload the over-supply of securities carried by the bank, but that the warnings went unheeded, while conditions became steadily worse.
 When the first examination was made the witness testified, there was found to be due depositors total of ST. ,s66 of which S36S6,06S was deposited by other banks and the remainder by other de- postors. Among the amounts represented at that time by bonds in the bank as collateral on notes were S250.000 of Wis consin and Michigan railroad. against seven notes, totalling $640,000; $525000 of the Illinois Southern as security for $l564, GOO represented by + memorandum notes; $462. .000 of the Southern Indiana, account of loan of $i3S,9 There were, he said, Il memorandum loans of $S7000 edcn Wltn S1OO,O0O or DOnuS or the oOuln- ern Indiana as security. In addition there was an unsecured loan of $10O,000.
 The books at that time showed, MT. Bosworth declared, a direct loan to the Chicago Chronicle of $100,000, and two notes for S10o,000 each, signed by John Bradshaw and H. W. Seymour, discount ed by the Chicago Chronicle.
 MT. Bosworth testified that upon mak- ing the second examination he found the banks affairs substantially the same on the first occasion, although in the meantime he had called the attention to the comptroller of the currency to the conditions. After the second examination MT. Bosworth testified he told MT. Walsh that unless he disposed of some of the securities and remedied the condition of the bank the comptroller would take measures to correct matters himself MT. Walsh, he said, apologized and assured him that something would be done at once. MT. Bosworth identified the state- ments made by Walsh to the comptroller in which the banker asserted that the companies whose bonds were held were prosperous and that the bonds would be disposed of by the end of the year. The final examination before the closing of the bank, he said, was commenced December 9, 1905. At that time an increase of the things complained of was found. Be- sides the notes of the railroad companies already referred to there were fonna at that time a note of J. N. Faithorn for pany for $100.0O, a note of the Bedford Quarries company for $150,000, note of the Akron Gas company for $100,O0, note of the Peoria Gas company for $10o,0o0 and various others signed by individuals, firms and corporations.

COLONEL COLYAR
 HAS PASSED AWAY
DISTINGUISHED JURlST DIES AT ADVANCED AGE AFTER BRIL- LIANT cAREER-WRoTE LIFE OF JACKSON.

Nashville. Tenn, December 1S-Col. A. s. Colyer. aged 90 years, distinguished jurist, statesman and author, died at his home this morning. He was member of the Confederate Congress.
 Of all the men who during the past century, have come from the mountains of East Tennessee and settled in the beautiful valley of the Cumberland, none were better known than Col Arthur S. Colyar He was one of the most remark able characters in the state. He was a man of unusual mental strength and phy- sical vigor, and ono of the leading mem bers of the bar. position he maintained through half century.
 His grandfather built cabin in Wash ington county, Aon the Nolacnucky river, seven miles from Jonesboro, in which the father of Colonel Colyar was born in 1l90, and in which the son was born. June g, ISIS.
 The late ex-Governor Marks grand mother and the grandfather of John w.. Colyar of the Nashville bar, were also born in this same house.
 In 1880 Colonel Colyar's father moved 10 Franklin county, Tennessee. His educa- tion was limited to spelling and reading, except that which he acquired at home, until he was IS years old. While living here his father sent him on several trips south to dispose of farm products. He left the farm at the age of 9 and taught school until he was 26. He read law while teaching school. He practiced law at Winchester, having for his partners Judge Hickman, Joe Carter, John Friz- zell and Albert s. Marks at different times. He came to Nashville in 1866, and his partners in law during the years that followed were Peter Turney, Albert s. Marks, John w. Childress. Gov. Henry S. Foote, w. L. Shelton, Sam B. William son, Wallace s. Colyar, John B. Colyar and John B. Daniel.
 In 1858 in company with five other gen. alemen, he bought the property of the old Sewanee Mining company. He soon bought out his partners and was pres ident and sole manager for 15 years; He changed the name to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. and enlisted the interest of Messrs. James c. Warner and A. M. Shook in the property. Colonel Colyar then sold the controlling interest to Cherry & O'Connor. and afterward went to New York and interested John Inman in the enterprise and had the stock put on the New York exchange
 Colonel Colyar was twice elected to the Confederate Congress-the first time over Peter Turney. He was in the legislature in 1878, was editor of the American five years and of the Nashville Union two yeaxs.
 He began practicing law in 1864. In one big case his client made him a present of s2O0O after paying the fee agreed on. A few years ago Colonel Colyar wrote the life of Andrew Jackson, to expose the defamation of his great name by Parton and Summer. Being a family connection. with the Seviers, he grew up Whig and supported the Whig tickets from 1S40 to 1860, but became democrat with cer- tain reserved privileges.
