case is holding the attention Of
Judge Langan and the District Court

greatest surprises of the past week
was sprung. Jas. T. Davis, cashier OF
the defunct institution, was on the
stand and was being cross examined
by Attorney Peck, who represents T.
b. Hickey, President of the Bank
During the examination the testi-
mony brought out was to the effect
that at every monthly meeting of the
Board of Directors of the State Bank
& Trust Company from December
1905, to the time the bank closed its
doors in October, 1907. the monthly
reports from every branch bank were
presented TO the Directors who ex-
amined, read and approved the same

minutes of the Directors meetings

That Hickey was working under in
structions from the Directors and as
their agent made loans in the south.

Board OF Directors, which released

The testimony referred to in no

makes them equally liable with Pres

a large supply of cut pine wood and
a winter supply of hay. These burned
with a vengeance and rendered the
saving OF the building an impossible
