of James H. Parrish was resumed here
this morning at 10 o'clock on the ar
rival of attorneys and many witnesses
from greensboro. G. G. Watkins,
cashier of the National Deposit Bank,
was on the stand practically all day.
He stated that $500, 900 of the alleged
assets of the Parrish bank were not
worth more than ten cents on the dol
lar, that when the greensboro Clear
ing House Association was formed
Mr.. Parrish refused to join because he
would have to submit his bank to eX-
animation by the association, and he
knew this would result in rejection
as he was taking paper that the other
banks considered not good.
On examination he admitted that
he had accepted about $4,000 of the
same kind of paper that caused the
Parrish crash. eyes, but | got out, "
said Mr.. Watkins, "and left me in"
was the quick and first interruption
of the trial by the defendant, Parrish.
The evidence of Mr.. Watkins showed
that several bankers besides Mr.. Par
IRISH lost heavily on much the same
kind of paper that wrecked Parrish.

WELL DIGGER IS SUSPECTED
Body of Mrs. Alice L. Donohoe Found
Buried Near North Emery
vile, Cal.

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 31.-Circumstan-
tial evidence is being gathered bit by
bit to forge a chain of proof against
Gustave ArkeS, a man of many aliases.
under arrest for the alleged murder of
Mrs Alice L. Donohue, who disap-
peared on June IL, and whose body was
found buried near North Emeryville
yesterday The police and the county
officials expressed the opinion today
that Arkell will soon break down and
tell all he is believed to know of the
crime.
The police declare there are two
strong links in the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence which point to Arkelr 5
guilt. one is the statement that the
man, who was a well digger, had owned
the spade with which the grave was
dug for the body of the murdered wo-
man: the other is the fact that Arkell
had in his possession a gold locket said
to have been the property of Mrs. Don
ohue.
1t developed today that Mrs. Donohue
was insured for $500 in the various
lodges to which she belonged, but the
police do not think this had anything
to do with the crime, nor are they in
clined to believe that more than one
person had a hand in the murder.
