Statement of Prosecution.
Assistant United States Attorney Tur-
ner made the opening statement to the
jury. He said the government expected
to prove that while Gray was In the en-
ploy Of the Washington Loan and Trust
Company he was required to keep the
ledger containing the accounts of ~e-
positors whose names began with the
letter ''S'' and to check up accounts of
depostors on the "B' ledger. The ac-
- nA
III. whose names are alleged to have
been forged, he said, were known as
dormant accounts" No checks were
ever drawn by these depositors against
their accounts Mr.. Turner said he ex-
pected to prove.
Last August, he declared. a check for
$3.50 was drawn against the account Of
Emily j. Blanchard and that Oden B.
Gray, under an assumed named, opened
an account at the United States Trust
Company with the alleged forged check.
When the check came to the Washington
Loan and Trust Company in the course of
business 1t was honOred and went into the
custody of the defendant. whose duty Ii
was to enter ii upon the ledger.
The check, he stated. should have been
filed away among Cancelled checks, but n
search failed to reveal it's whereabouts,
A similar transaction took place. he said.
in reference to the $3.50 check, which
was deposited at the National Capital
Bank
Mr. Turner stated that Gray had been
salesman for local coal company and
shortly before the alleged forgeries was
short In his accounts and had been urged
to settle Immediately afte: one OF the
deposits was made check was drawn,
Mr.. Turner declared. for a large amount
and a settlement with the coal company
effected by Gray.

prepared checks for the signature of wit
ness on the bank where her active ac-
count is kept.
Miss Reese followed Mrs. Blanchard
on the stand. She told the jury that
while she had prepared checks for.Nirs
Blanchard's signature on another finan-
cial institution, she had never done so

Trust Company.

No Intimation Shown Yet as to What Win Be Done in the Matter of
 Further Trial of Wheatley.

That a resumption of the criminal docket will be taken up on November s, and continued indefinitely until the close of the fall term of circuit court, was the statement yesterday by Pros ecuting Attorney Means, who was in the city on brief business mission.
 The case of murder in the first de- gree charged against El Walker, wno killed Will McDaniel on highway near the city. will be the first impor- tant criminal case to be taken up. Attorneys for the defeise have an- nounced that the yare anxious to have their client tried as soon as convent ent 10 the court, and the prosecuting attorney stated yesterday that he an- ticipated being ready for that trial on the resumption of the criminal docket.
 No disposition of the cases against the Wheatleys, charged with murder for the killing of Bud Robbins and .Murt Waycasey, have yet been made. It IS very likely that the charges against Nick Wheatley will be dis missed by the court pn request of the prosecuting attorney. since the evi. dence in the trial of Rufus Wheatley established that Nick Wheatley was not armed the night of the double

BOOSTING NEXT FAIR.
Hamp Williams Urges Montgomery
 County to Show More Interest.


 The following self lfexplanatory com munication has been sent by Senator Hamp Williams to a Montgomery pa. per and given publication in the in. .terest of the State Fair of 1910; Farmers Union Signal, Mount Ida,
 Ark.--
 Gentlemen: -Our fourth annual Arkansas State Fair has closed and we consider that 1t has been a great success when we come to consider the almost failure in crops. If we can have the cooperation of each and every county in our state we intend to pull off the biggest fair that has ever been pulled off in the south next year
 Before the gates were closed the directors were at work soliciting ex. hibits for 1910 Farmers are already blaming as to the character of the floats that they expect to have in our next fair Implement houses are mak. ing inquiries about space for the com. ing year
 The farmers of Garland and Mont. gomery counties should almost ill the agricultural hall with their agricul. tural exhibits next year We will be sadly disappointed If they fail and we hope to have your co operation to the end that Montgomery county will not be second to any county in the state of Arkansas. They have the soil and the ability and ask in the name of our country and the great 'fta.e of Arkansas: Why is it that our farmers do not help us?' It is the only avenue through which we can advertise the products of onr country. Begin now and get ready for the great Arlansas State Fair in 1910.
 Respectfully,

GARMENTS FOR
 CHARITY WORK WITH COMING OF FIRST COLD WEATHER NEEDLEWoRk
 GUILD GETS BUSY Noble Undertaking Of Protecting the Poor and Afflicted from Suffer-
 ing Should Be Helped.

The time draws near when the sn- nual distribution of new garments to the deserving poor will be made by our organized charities.
 It is expected and desired that the directors have been quietly busy ob- taining promises from everybody, men, women and children, to give two garments or the equivalent in money. We ask for plain, serviceable garments We have no use for cast off summer clothing, nor for fiimsy give comfort to even baby. Give Us plain underwear of domestic, out ing flannel or canton flannel; or give us the material and we will make the garments. Give us dark calico, or gingham or light weight woolen goods to make dresses for school children. Give US sheets, quilts or comforts, for the poor need these as we'll as other people Give us caps or hoods or wraps for cold weather. but do not send left overs from the past hot season. We earnestly beg all the good hearted men and women of our city to quietly think over this question of giving aid and comfort to those more unfortunate than ourselves. Do not consider it a burden. but rather a blessed opportunity to do a little uct of kindness.
 The Needlework Guild is opposed to pauperizing, hence adheres strictly to the principle of helping others to help themselves. Given clothing in which to appear respectable, man or a woman stands better chance of obtaining work, and child in one warm garment Is. healthier and hap pier than when covered with rags.
 Any merchant in Hot Springs will accept any package left for the Nee dlework Guild and will see that 1t reaches the Guild. The distribution this year will be after Thanksgiving Lay, instead or before.
 The garments must be sent on or before November 29, and will be dis tribnted during that week.
 Officers of the Guild are:
 Mrs P. H. Ellsworth, president. sos Park avenue; Mrs L. Convers, vice president, Maurice apartments; Miss Carrie Price, secretary, Maurice apart ments Mrs. Fred Williams. treasurer. Wooduock apartments. Olive street.
