was indicted on two counts; that
of embezzling and of receiving de-
posits when the bank was insol-
vent. The date of the first charge,
embezzlement, is fixed as February
| s, 1909 and according to the in
dictment Golden knowingly, un-
lawfully and feloniously received
| of and from one Tom Kendall, a
certain sum of money, towit $500
gold coin, lawful money of the Unit
ed States, as and for deposit in
| the said Nye and Ormsby county
bank, which said money was then
and there the property of said
Tom Kendall and which said money
was then and there received of and
from the said Tom Kendall by the
said Frank Golden for and in be-
half of the said bank.
That the said Nye and Orms-
| by county bank was then and
there insolvent, and he, the said
defendant, Frank Golden, then and
there well knew the said bank to
be then and thereby insolvent; all
of which is contrary to the form,
| force and effect of the statutes in
such cases, made and provided, and
against the peace and dignity of
the people of the state of Nevada y
The second Indictment charged
Golden with receiving a sum of
$3.50 from Ralph Hussey, knowing
the bank to be insolvent.
The court adjourned until $3.50
in the evening, and ordered the
defendants to be brought before it
at that time to plead to the in
dictments. Golden was represent
| ed by Judge ]. F. Dennis while
Attorney P. M. Bowler represented
McQuillan. When the court con-
vened and the indictments were
read to Golden, he entered plea
of not guilty and through his coun-
sci asked for an early trial. There
was considerable discussion on this
question for District Attorney Ba-
ker stated that while he was not
hCpposed to speedy trial, he de-
sired to have the criminal calendar
called at such time that every
case could be disposed of, which
| would greatly reduce the county S
expense. Golden insisted that he
be tried within a week or two,
and to this Baker assented. The
court named August s as the date
when the defendant would be tried
/ by a Judge Goden's bond was
reduced to $4,000 for each count,
or $4,000 in ALL This was fur
nished by Eugene Howell and r.
b. Govan and he was allowed his
liberty.
After the reading of the indict-
ment to McQuillan, his counsel ask
/ ed for continuance until July
81. I'm which to make the plea.
This was probably done in order
to demur to the indictment. No
d murrer was entered by Golden.
McQuillan's bond was fixed at
sS,2oo which was furnished by W
W. Booth and W. 5. Johnson.
