attorney for the receiver, were all ac-
cused of opposing the pardon of I'm
boden and Hill because they were
afraid of what the convicts might dis
close IL they were released. All the
nell, and for nearly an hour and half
they listened to as scathing an arraign-

Hersey knew how to put into words.
The board reached no decision in

The date of the next meeting de-

him to come to Denver again for fin

matter. It was evident that Mr..
Hersey's speech made an impression
on certain members of the board but
what the decision of the majority viii
be still remains problematical.
Speaking almost entirely from the

out facts which he thought were suffi-

his position in that respect he pointed
out the fact that Receiver Stevick had

from the time he took charge of the
bank. and that. too after charging off
100000 OF the banks assets as worth.

OF the receivership. which he placed at

protested that disbursements for re,
pairs. taxes. and like charges could
not be considered as expenses of the
receiyership. Mr.. Hersey turned on
him and shouted: III you had KEEP,
