|GLN|ER MAY NOT
TESTIFY IN OWN
BEHALF
ATTORNEYS THINK STATE HAS
NOT MADE STRONG cAsE-UN-
LESS THERE IS A CHANGE HE
Will az SILENT.

LANSING, Mich. Dec. 1s.-The trial
OF Frank p. Glazier, ex-state treas
urer, will not be resumed until Mon
day afternoon. The defendant was
called to Chelsea 10 sign papers In
connection with the proceedings OF
the bankruptcy court.
II was stated today by lawyers rep
resenting Glazier that they did not
consider the case made against the
defendant strong enough to require
Glaxier 10 take the stand. Unless
something stronger Is submitted, Glaz'
Ter will remain silent
This conclusion was reached after
Deputy State Treasurer Haarer had
been on the stand nearly all day yes
terday. From the questions asked
Haarer II Is apparent that the defense
intends to prove that Glaciers acts
as state treasurer we're known 10 the
other. state. officials for several years.
and that these state officials did not
feel called upon to restrain Glazier. be-
cause they did not believe he was do
Ing wrong.
The auditor-general, deputy secre-
tary OF state and deputy state treas
urer knew that there were state f'nds
on deposit I'm the Chelsea bank when
they approved the bond OF that inst-
'tution. Haarer testified. Each month.
he further testified, the auditorgen'
eYal knew the amount or state funos
ON deposit In the bank.
Mr.. Sawyer endeavored to prove that
even John T. Rich, who succeeded MI.
0laxier as state treasurer. deposited
state funds In banks with which the
men who went on his bond were con-
nected, but this was ruled out by the
court. He also was prohibited from
proying that former state treasurers
had deposited state funds In banks
with which they were connected.
The prosecution endeavored TO show
that the state account In the Chelsea
hank was not an active one. Haarer
testified that the account was active
the state deposited daily balances. IL
vrna brought out that the receiver for
the Chelsea bank had paid two aivi'
kiends to the state-one for szos'-
1854 and the other for $7o.S7l.U.
Judge West ruled out the registry
raceipt with which the prosecution
tried to show the attorney-general had
made a demand upon Glazier for $685.
Gao of state funds In the Chelsea bank.
The Judges ruling was due TO the Iact
that the registry receipt was not sign
ed by Glazier. A draft for $6s5,OoO
drawn for s6s5,0O0 on the Chelsea
bank. which went TO protest, was also
faled out.
