aminer and the star witness for the gov

memorandum said to have been found
suspension was identified as in the hand
writing of Hayes. This memorandum
contained figures corresponding in totals
with the deposits made by patrons of the
bank and not credited on its ledger until
a later date. This writing is claimed by
the government to SubStantiate the charge
Of the indictment.
Bookkeepers in the employ Of the bank
testified that there was no delay in max
ing entries in the banks ledgers after
cage Of the receiving teller.
Bank Examiner Reeves. from the pass
books of a number OF depositors. deposit
slips which he identified as in the hand
ledgers. testified that certain deposits
entered on the customers books did not
reach the bookkeepers OF the bank for
periods ranging from one day to two
weeks. He attempted to show that
Hayes was accustomed to hold out a de-
post until the customer made his next
deposit. then. he declared. Hayes would
file deposit ticket for the formes de-
post and withhold the filing Of the second
deposit until a subsequent date.
Mr.. Reeves testified that deposits made
by various customers near the time OF the
suspension Of Hayes had never reached
the bank ledgers. These deposits, 1t is
said. aggregate about $500. which. with
the deficit In the receiving teller's cash
package. brings the total Of the alleged
defalcation up to $500.
On cross-examination Mr.. Reeves failed
to identify the changed dates on certain
deposit slips as in the handwriting OF
Hayes. He did not know who had made
the alterations.

BRUTAL CRIME BEFORE COURT
FOUR NEGROES PLACED ON

johnson.

POWHATAN, Va. March 24.-With
apparently no chance OF escaping the
electric chair. Joe and Isham Taylor,
Lewis Jenkins and John Brown, believed
to be the chief conspirators in the most
remarkable crime ever perpetrated in
Powhatan county-the murder Of Mrs.
Mary e. Sdpwith and Walter @. John
son, on the night Of February 12-were
put on trial for their lives yesterday
afternoon in courtroom that did not
have left single inch OF standing room.
The petit jury was easily chosen from
the fifty-six veniremen.
Only six witnesses were examined. The
negroes admitted having lied In previous
confessions, because OF fear OF the ven
geance of the two Taylors. who had
witnesses were DR.. Z. L. Tompkins. who
told only Of viewing tho dead bodies in
the ruins; w. 8. johnson, brother OF the
murdered man; Stephen johnson. Flem-
ing johnson and Robert johnson. all OF
whom have been indicted for completely
in the murder, and Deputy Sheriff Tray
lOr of HenricO county.
Story Of bastard Crime.
All the negro witnesses told Of how
Isham Taylor deliberately shot down
Walter Johnson, and of how Joe Taylor
ana jenkins killed MIS- ShIpWilH AZ AcI
bed. johnson, although his eyes had
been shot out. was still living.
He called Stephen Johnson. the boy, to
come to his aid. but Ish:m Taylor held
him at bay with a, gun. Joe Taylor set
fire to the house, the living and the dead
body being cremated side by side In the
ruins. Isham Taylor then made them
all go home, threatening with death any
who might tell.
The murder was premeditated. the
scheme OF the negroes including the kill
ing of other families and the robbery
Of their homes.
None of the lawyers are resorting to
bubbles and technicalitieS to delay the
case All seem to realize that the crowd
came here to see justice melted out. 1t
would but fret an orderly crowd to de-
cisiye action to make delays.
Guarding the Prisoners.
The negroes and the white people are
holding themselves entirely apart. There
will be no trouble unless the ends OF
Justice are not soon attained. The prison
ers are being carefully guarded night
and day by armed deputies.
There is a small wild west show in the
village The tents are up. but there Is
no audience, the whole show being In the
courtroom. The cowboys sing out plain
lively that the show is about to begin,
hut their announcements fall on deaf
ears There is more serious business
on hand. The circus was billed for three
DAYS, but the show people will probably
leave the village before that time.

In addition to the peculiar coinci-
