Grand Jury Makes Partial Re-
pOrt--RecOnmendatiOnSa are
of High Order and Will Re-
suit in Much Good to the
County.

The investigation of the Grand
Jury into the affairs of the State
Bank and Trust Company ended last
night, and the inquisitorial body is
resting on its oars to await the ac-
ton of District Attorney McCarran.
The report of the body declares that
the crime of embezzlement has been
committed, and submits to Mr.. Nc
Carran to proceed along the lines he
deems best to secure evidence look
ing to the Indictment of the bank
officials who are guilty of the perpe-
tration of the crimes.
1t was nearly 6 O'Clock when the
report was made to Judge O'Brien.
Foreman Charles A. Wonacott read
every line of the voluminous docu-
ment and every word of it was listen
ed to with breathless interest. 1t
wound up by asking the court that

could secure the necessary evidence
calculated to place the guilt of re-
ceiving deposits when the bank was
known to be a failing institution, on

Judge O'Brien thanked the Grand
Jury for it's diligent, careful and in
telligent work. He said that in ac-
cordance with their expressed wishes
ne would excuse them. instead oi
discharging them, and he assure!
them that upon the proper showing
being made by the District Attorney:
office, the processes of the cour
would be at the disposal of Mr.. Nc
Carran in order to secure proper evi

Grand Jury.
The inquisitors declare that thei
investigations were retarded by thu
action of the local officials and b,
the work of Attorney General Stod
dard, the latter having advised Banl
Examiner Miller not to produce th
report which he made to the Banl
Commissioners of the condition o
the bank. The belief on the par
of the Grand Jury that crime ha'
been committed is based upon evi
dence that deposits were received b

observation and inspection that
report which he made to the
State Bank Commissioners on
the 10th day of November, 1907,
and after much insistence on
our part IL duplicate statement
of the report was forwarded to
us, which was not complete, nor
was it the entire report and data
as submitted by the Bank Exam

Commissioners.
We would first draw the at
tention of this body to the ques-
ton OF insolvency. The law, as
we find it, prescribes u defini-
tion for insolvency on page 1854
of the Session Laws of 1907,
and holds that bank shall be
deemed to be insOlvent: first,
when the actual cash market

COUNTY HOSPITAL.
We have Investigated the County
Hospital and have found it to be well
conducted, and in excellent sanitary
condition. On account of the made
quate facilities for caring for pa
tients and the difficulty in getting
water, we recommend the construc-
tion of a suitable bathroom and that
the hospital be connected with the
water main now within about four
hundred feet of the building. Proper
ventilators should be constructed for
the toilets
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We inspected the public schools of
Tonopah and found the schoolhouse
in a neat condition. The stoves in
several of the rooms are so placed
| that these rooms cannot be properly
heated. The coal furnished for heat
! ing purposes is poor grade of slack
and not fit for heating purposes, es-
pecially when it is to be burned in
stoves such as the school is equipped
with Teachers and pupils alike
complain of the poor heating.
The building is SO constructed that
it is very noisy, and some means
should be taken at once to deaden
the noise of the upper floor. This
cannot well be done until vacation

stairways be equipped with rubber
or other suitable mating Immediate
/, ly. From the appearance of some of
the pupils we would suggest that a
bathroom be furnished so that clean
illness can be taught in a practical
way. We do not believe that the
upper floor has proper exits for es-
cape in case of fire and we therefore
suggest that an additional stairway
be placed on the north side of the
building The school trustees are
contemplating several necessary i'm
provements as soon as the funds for
the same are available. Among these
are the needed repair and enlarge
ment of the toilet houses.
COUNTY JAIL.
The condition of the jail was
found to be excellent. but some
means should be taken to establish
ward for women, The cookhouse
for feeding the prisoners is in sat

THE COMMITTEE ON BANKING
REPORTS TO THE GRAND JURY
OF NYE COUNTY:


OF NYE COUNTY:
Perhaps one of the most es-
Sential Investigations that has
taken place during the session
of this body has been the eX-
animation which has been made
into the affairs, condition and
standing of the State Bank and
Trust Company, and i'm this re-
spect this committee proposes
to be no respector of persons in
the prosecution of it's duty.
Under the advice of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office, the Grand
Jury called before them the
State Bank Examiner, and other
witnesses for the purpose of
cliciting testimony which would
cnlighten us as to the .dispOsi-
ton of moneys placed on de-
pOsit with the institution known
as the State Bank and Trust
Company, that institution hav-
ing some months ago closed its
doors and refused to pay its
Legitimate depositOrs. Our action
from the first has been blocked
retarded and diverted by the Of
tiCialS of the State Bank and
Trust Company, and by the APP
parent negligence, lax dealings
and transactions of the State Of
ficials who, under the law,
should have months ago pro-
ceeded in this matter and
brought justice to it's proper
end.
Our request made by your
committee of the State Bank
and Trust Company, through it's
cashier, Mr.. Il. B. Cushman, to
inspect personally the various
assets and liabilities of the bank
and to inspect or ascertain the
avenues through which money
was diverted from the bank,
met with disapproval and de-
NAL at the hands of that Off
cial and his attorney, and we
were compelled to resort for the
time being to such information
aS could be obtained from an in
complete report made to us by
the State Bank Examiner, but
from which report and other
evidences which has been given
MS and placed before us, we. beg
leave to say to this honorable
body that words fail us when it
comes to expressing our cOndem-
nation of the manner of man
agement of the business affairs
of that institution. Hundreds
and hundreds of thousands of
dollars were given out of the In
stitution, secured by the most
llimsy and frivolous collateral.
The earnings. savings and de-
posits of the people at large
seem to have been ruthlessly
shufiicd away and In its stead
there remains I'm most instances
only paper collateral, which, in
our estimation, IL now and al
ways has been ~ poor and triy-
ial security for the thousands of
dollars which Il represents.
Through the State bank kN-
amincr we demanded the report
