more insisted on the question and the
Court instructed Hall to answer. BY
this time the question was lost and
Hall replied in the same strain as
Boyd, that he did not consider it nee
essary and Boyd supplemented by
saying that it would have cost four
or five hundred dollars for the re-
ceiver to go around the state verify
ing some claims that he did not in
cur and that incident passed.
Bill Pittman's claim for $3.50 attor-
ncy fees. did not cause any sQuabble
among the brethren of the legal pro-
fession, strange to say, when it was
explained that he had performed the
service.
Hart then began his cross eNamina-
tion of Hall and started cut by ask
ing Hail when he took charge of the
bank. which was on May -. Halls
answers indicated that he had taken
the assets i the bank removable
from III" different branches and ship
ped them to Carson City in June. that
these consisted largely of books and
small articles of bank and book fur
niture, that he did not bring some
ii tlt m, that he began right away
| with a clerk, on the books, and that
he supervised the work Of straight
cnins out these books, and that he
did lot Of the work himself. that
| Hoffman, Golden's clerk, had done
most of the balance OF the work prior
| to July 20.
Hart wanted to know why the re.
ceiver had allowed rent to go on III
the Reno bank office and the receiver
! said he could not get customers OF the
bank to take out their safety deposits
! any sooner and Boyd objected to the
| line of questioning on the ground thar
the cCurt had brought out all the
points wanted in the order to sell
the Reno furniture.
Hart then said: We intend to show
thal the receiver, instead OF filing any
report tha- s VS. the condition OF the
bank in any way. has not done so.
and that all his reports are incom-
| plele and do not show the condition
and that the receiver has not been
diligent in the prosecution OF his du

testimony in regard t. the Tonopal
office rent and then went to the re-
port OF July 20, the first report
Did you make this report from the
report made by Bank Examiner Ho-
fer. or did you make it from the
books?
Il made it from llofer's reports and
from the books also" replied Hall
Did this report show any change
/ between the time iofer's report was
made and the date of the report. July

| Hall could not answer off hand bl!
said the books would snow. and said
that what change there was appeared
in the report.
Hart tried to make Hall admit that
necessary on this report and Hall
stated that it took him long time
! with his clernS to get the books in
! shape TO make a report.
Hart then asked him if HOfer did
not owe the bank money and Hall re.
piled that he did.
why did you not take that amount
out of the premium paid Hofer for
your surety bond?" asked Hart.
Hall stalled a moment.
Hart asked then if he did not know
that Hofer mad agreed that the am

the premium?
Hall replied that Golden had tried
to make him take it out but that he
did not know of any such agreement
and that Golden said that it should

Chartz wanted Hart to ask Hall
why he had not protected the bank in
the matter and deducted it himself,
but Hart did not ask the question and
Boyd explained that the premium was
ordered by the court paid TO the sure

Hart wanted TO know why llofcrs
