HEINzE SLIPPING OUT.
Very Little Is Left on Which to Hang
a Conviction.

New York, May 10.-F. Augustus
Heinze, former president of the Mer-
camille National bank, had only the
events of one day-October IA, 1907
to account for when his counsel took
up his defense on the governments
charges of overcertification of checks
and misapplication of the banks
funds.
All the other counts in the Heinze
indictments have been thrown out
from time to time by the court. The
last, except those covering the hap
penings of October IA, were dismissed
by Judge Hough in the United States
circuit court after the government had
failed to connect Heinze with the
operations of the United Copper pool
managed by his brothers firm, Otto
Heinze & Co., in the interest of which
the prosecution allege Heinze had mis-
applied the banks cash and credit.
The trial has now narrowed down
to the charge that Heinze overcertifled
5 checks of his brothers firm, aggre-
eating $464,000 and misapplied the
funds of the Mercantile National bank
to that extent.
carly today's session. Judge Hough de-
slate in Heinzes case came to naught
early in today's session. JudgeHough de-
MED motion that the jury be directed
to acQutt Heinze on the third remain
ing count in the Indictment the defense
urging that the firm of Otto Heinze &c
Co., was entitled to credit by virtue of
the loan HefnZe had taken out and
signed over to them at the time the
alleged over certification took place and
also that there was no evidence to show
that Heinze directed or authorized the
certifcation.
Judge Hough likewise denied a motion
that the evidence concerning stock
sales by the United Copper company be
stricken from the record.
Attorney Tomlinson opened the case
Tor the defense.
Mr.. Tomlinson in his opening address
declared that Heinze would have been
a rich man today and the United Cop
per company wealthy corporation, but
Tor the indictments which have been
hung over Heinze's head. He traced
Heinze's career in the west
HE went there without a cent of
capital and he dug s10,000,000 out of the
ground said Mr.. Tomlinson. what
did he do with it? He gave it to the
stockholders. He went to Montana
where there is no stock exchange gamb-
ling. He is loved by many for the enc
mics he has made. There are numbers
ready to follow him because of his enc
miles,"
The attorneys said he did not be-
lieve the jury proposed to punish Heinze
for Ibis kindness and generosity in
loaning money to his brothers." who
were rated as men with millions be-
hind them. He was not charged with
Efsmaaagement of the United Copper
company and the idea that he would
have sought to rob the bank in which
be held $2,40O,000 worth of stock was
ridiculed by the lawyer.

 Up to two weeks ago the Pres. colt school was leading in all points, but the last two Sundays Hope has put forth strenuous efforts and made about POO points gain, making the standing of the schools very close, and the re. malning four weeks are likely to bring forth the greatest endeav. ors of all concerned.
 The lesson for next Sunday is
