A Few Comments On the Above Statements

that when Mr.. Witcher left Eureka the
Grand Jury was in session; had not
completed its inquiries, nor found any
Indictments.
Why, with such conclusive evidence
in their possession of collision between
the president and cashier Of the bank
to defraud, did the State Banking Board
so strongly advocate the appointment
of the cashier as Receiver? Is this the
reason that the cashier declares repeat
eddy that he for months had been act
ing exclusively under orders OF the
State Banking Board?
We have seen more hot air from the
State Banking Board regarding the
good condition of the Eureka County
Bank in the public press than we have
of roasting" that Board.
1t is pleasing to note that the State
Banking Board can "sit up and take
notice" for it has appeared so far as If
they were about the only people con
cerned who knew absolutely nothing
of the true inwardness Of this ~rascality.
1t is also gratifying to hear that the
Attorney General Is interested: his
deputy. when here. rather conveyed the
impression that he was retained by the
defense. The accused, In fact, seem to
have had their interests wonderfully
well guarded.
This is a matter of serious importance,
not alone 10 the people of this con
munity. but to the State at large. The
banking interests especially car not
afford to countenance any l~eniency in a
matter so affecting the credit and integ-
rity OF the State.
Judge Breen gave notice from the
bench last Monday that he intended to
call a new Grand Jury to further in
vestigate the Eureka County Bank af.
fairs. The State Banking Board will
then have a chance to "come through"
with any evidence they may have been
boarding and make good by assisting in
bringing to justice any who have yio-
lated the laws of the State. When they
do, we will acclaim their virtue and

We seriously hope the above article

cution Of Eureka County Bank officials.
although the general tenure is scarcely
consistent with facts known now to
exist.
II the State Banking Boari possessed
such important evidence land we incline
to the belief that they did. why. when
. Grand Jury was especially called for
that purpose. did they not present it?
When did it first occur to them that
the District Attorney was not going to
press the indictments?
When the Court made very plain its
attitude toward delay in the proceed
iugs. the District Attorney asserted
that Mr.. Witcher counseled delay in
any action against the Smiths and Grit
I'm. Very few people were in sympathy
with this policy OF delay and the DIS
trict Attorneys manner OF handling
these prosecutions, but for all that we
fail to see why the State Banking
Board, after their course, should now at
tempt to throw the entire odium Of the
business on tine District Attorney. who.
according to his own statement, wal

ing Board.
And that is another statement that
rings true to Us. The District Attorney
said further that the Grand Jury had
cited Mr.. Salter. clerk Of the Bank Ex-
aminer. to appear with all records.
papers and data bearing on the case;
that Mr.. Witcher appeared here in his
stead and claimed to present everything
the State Banking Board had or knew
about the Eureka County Bank.
II the State Banking Board called in
the Attorney General and started work
on their own hook, as soon as they knew
the facts. what is delaying them?
The discrepancy in cash on hand
caused by the juggling with funds on
special deposit was certainly known to
them as 1901 as the bank was closed. as
Mr.. Van Fleets testimony in court
showed the true conditions. As
the cipher kilograms and letters di.
recting the cashier to so manipulate the
cash were found by the Bank Examiner,
the State Banking Board must have
been in possession Of all this evidence
from the start. as we beg to draw atten-
ton to the fact that there has been no
Bank Examiner here since Mr.. Witcher
left. nearly two months ago. We would
further remind the writer Of the article

there was only about 5000. Ia this
way the Banking Board was deceived,
and there was no evidence Of deception
or fraud; there was no special deposit
on the books and the private agreement
between the County Treasurer and the
Smiths never became known until II
was found that the county had drawn
out its $50, 900 the night before the bank
was closed. No blame is attached to
the Country Treasurer. it appears. as

were being manipulated By the bank.
When these facts were reported to
the Banking Beard. the board called in
the Attorney General and commenced
preparing charges on its W hook
against the Smiths. 1t began to look
as il the District Attorney was not 60
ing to press the indictments found by
the Grand Jury. and the board insisted
on acting. exposing the fraud, and thus
vindicate itself. The public press had
been roasting" the board when the
true facts were not in possession Of the
press or the public, and the board was
determined that the foil facts be known
and that the Smiths be punished for
their rascslity. The case is plain and
convincing, as the Banking Board ha:
the discriminating letters and telegram,
in its possession.

Death OF Mrs. Spence.

Saturday October the 10Th, 1910 the
death angel entered our home TAX
ing therefrom our dear mother.
Mother was 40 years Of age. She
was married to Mr.. Allen Spence
just thirty years ago. During this
time though numbered with burdens
not few, she was most faithful
wife, and loving mother, and many
Of our childish sorrows were listened
to patiently by her, and loving words
and excellent council was always
given to each of US.
There were nine children, two of
these preceding her to the grave
years ago. There is left her hus-
band, one sister, and four brothers.
Mother was not sick very long, and
we did not expect death to lay his
cold hand upon her so soon, but God
called and she obeyed. Her suffer
ings were many, but she bore them
patiently, and complained little
The doctors did all for her that skill
could do, and friends and loved ones
ministered faithfully but to no avail
God knew best and his will must be
done, and our part is to conform ou1
will to his, believing that he doetf
all things well.
We are consoled with the fact tina
though we can no more on earth see
her dear face, we can aspire to tina
higher life which will eventually
lead us to the home above. where
We can meet her again face to face.
She was laid to rest in the famil,
cemetery near Aurelian Springs o.
Oct. the 31st, the funeral sevices be
ing conducted by Rev. Draper.
May we meet you dearest mothe
when the Lord shall bid US come.
