Banker Opens his Hand
in an Appeal to Grand
For Full Investigation

CARSON. Feb. 2s-A letter adj
msby county, now investigating the
Hickey banks. by Attorney Chartz,
acting for T. b. Hickey, has been
made public. 1t is as follows:
1 hereby respectfully request of
your honorable body, before you en-
tail Ormsby county into useless costs,
and purposeless costs. that you sub
poena Jas. Davis, cashier of the State
Bank and Trust company. to testify
before you, and that II 1t is too cum
bersome for him to produce all the
books and papers OF the said bank
under his charge that you appoint an
investigation committee to look into
the same, or that you look into the
same as full body, and that you
demand and force your rights to look
into all books and papers of said cor
poration. | particularly suggest that
you look into and examine all weekly
reports sent from the cashiers of the
several branches of said bank. weekly
and see into the condition of said
bank at the time T. b. Hickey left
Carson for San Francisco, for the
purpose of raising funds upon the
securities held by said bank, which
time would be the last actual know
ledge he could have of the condition
of said bank, and look into its con
dition at the time he telegraphed
TO Jas T. Davis to close all doors,
being on the evening of October %.
1907, which telegram was in cipher,
and not deciphered until after the
safe was unlocked on Oct %, 1907
and upon the deciphering of which
Mr.. Jas. T. Davis telegraphed to all
branch banks to close its doors.
respectfully request that you also
subpoena w. G. Douglass, secretary
of state of the state of Nevada and
ID. W. Ryan, treasurer of the State
of Nevada, and examine them your
selves closely. | further request that
before you close your labors that YOU
hear the testimony of the aeeus.d d.
T. b. Hickey, to the end that you may
get the best evidence by obtaining
the testimony of all the foregoing
witnesses, and that you will avoid
wrong doing not only against Mr..
Hickey, but wrong doing against all
others associated with him. Yon will

Hickey declares that his banking
affairs have been honestly conduct
ed and courts fair and thorough
examination by the grand jury. 1t
is to be hoped that his statements
are true. However. there seem a
good many peculiar points in the
matter which do not look well for
the banker. The thorough investiga-
ton he asks should certainly be had.
The oil prospector is pretty busy
individual in Nevada these days.
During the last several weeks he has
brought a good deal of promising
formation to the attention of the
public. From it there should be
some results. Even a little would
be quite help. With oil available
from fields within the state there
would be impetus of high importance
given along a number of valuable
lines.
