transactions in full, showing every
matter regarding the deal in ques-
ton, when a number OF bonds that
were held by the California bahk
were returned to the State Bank and

depositors.
The next matter taken up was the
question of trades that had been made
previous to the taking OF the receiv'
crsb;p by Mr.. Wildes. Mr.. Alling
asked the witness whether his per
sonal interests in the trades that
were made had anything to do with
the manner he treats that part of the
report in which he states that while
he has ordered his attorneys to com
ply with the order OF the Court that
the same is contrary to his business
Judgment. Mr.. Wildcs reiterated his
stand on this question and stated that
he was willing at all times to carry
out any order that the Court or the
dcpositors desired to suggest or pre-
sent to him and that his personal in
terests never cut any figure with his
duty as the receiver OF the defunct
institution.

very thoroughly and during his rel
marks stated that approximately ST.
100000 had been traded in accounts.
Mr.. Alling. for the dcpositors. then
requested the Court to allow him to

cd in the specific objections and the

furnishing the bond for the protec-
ton OF the people Interested in the
dcfunct institution.
NJ this point an argument of some
heat started and Mr.. Wildes express.
ed his views very forcibly regarding
the line of questioning that he had
been subjected to and stated that he
considered the question a slur on
himself and Mr.. Davis, and the re-
mark OF Mr.. Wildes seemed to meet |
the approval of the majority of the
listners. All present seemed to re-
greet that the attorney had seer fit 10
bring personal attacks into the inyes-
tigation, which is supposedly for the
OF the dcpositors and not to
