EIstad's Cross Examination.

Witness Elstad was then turned
over to the defense for cross examina-
ton. An effort was made by Atty.
w, f. Purcell to establish the fact
that the assistant cashier was aware
of private deals Of Jones, but to no
avail
Concerning the checks which Jones
secured from friends, on which was
placed the endorsement of the First
National Bank Of Rugby, and later
sold in Minnesota, Elstad stated that
he knew nothing Of the deals. When

given him by Jones with instructions
to turn 1t over to Nels Evenson, he
did not know what the envelope con-
tanned. He received instructions from
Jones that he would get draft which
was subsequently placed to the credit
Of the Rugby bank.
A volley Of questions were asked
concerning the work in the bank
While most OF the book work was
done by himself and other employees Of
the bank, Elstad refused to state that
Jones never made an entry. The wit
ness stated that ne could ascertain by
looking through the books; that it
was his opinion that Jones had made
entries on some occasions but ne was
unable to recall the specific dates.
The witness was deliberate in answer
ing every question, referring to the
records of the bank when he was at
all in doubt.

Victim Of JOkesrith.

W. F. Parry. the hydraulic brick
dealer, was a victim the other day of
a joke which kept him on the qui vive
for some hours. So friend with jok
ing proclivities decided that Parry was
getting rusty for want of callers and
inserted an advertisement in the Gary
newspapers to the effect that he wanted
fifty mousers. Had he wanted this
quantity he could have obtained them
for more than that many boys respond
ed to the call.
Even the steel company's cats were
brought into service. A number of the
open hearth cats were smuggled out of
the mill and brought into the city to
Parry's office. The fact that the In
diana steel company recently advertised
for cats through one of its clerks lent
some semplance of probability to the
advertisement of the joker. Mr.. Parry
is offering a reward to the person who
will reveal the identity of the joker.
