CARTER BISHOP WINS
FIRST LEGAL BATTL RI
Former Cashier Of Appomattox Trust Company
Acquitted, Verdict Being Entered at
REQUEST Of Prosecution
Prosecution.

meanwhile having considered tho main
points raised. Tho court rendered an
exhaustive opinion, citing many cases.
among them being that OF Charles W.
Morse, and the action Of the Common
wealths Attorney was then the only
logical step TO be taken.
I'nlsity Not Proved.
The main point rested OH tho adj
1ectlvc false" describing the entry.
1t had never been proved, and there
seemed to be no proof forthc oming
that the entry of the discount on
the paper known as the Young note
was false, and collateral matters
could not. therefore, be introduced In
evidence.
Even though the transaction III
which w. L. Young. posscssor at tic
time of only about $1,000 made note
in favor Of Charles Hall Davis for
$4,000 may havo been fraudulent the
entry alleged to have been made by
Cashier Bishop was correct and true,
and. SO far. there had been no evil
dfnco to the contrary. IT had been
hoped by tho prosecution however, To
show by expert witnesses from the
state Corporation Commission that the
entry of the discount on tho Young
note was made to cover UP tho bank
deficiencies and to prove that the COW
cring UP was done only after repeated
efforts had bcen made by tho State
Corporation Commission TO have "A
statement of the affairs Of tho insti-
tuition rendered and after three letters
had passed between the commission
and the bank officials. Other alleged
discrepancies and frauds were also 10
have been proved. Without this par
ticular evidence. tho prosecution had
hothing further TO go upon, and tho
case fell,
But the failure of tho prosecution to
establish its case under indictment No.
2 means practically nothing as to The
linal outcome. There arc now twenty
one other indictments pending against
Biahor, and twelve indictments against
Bishop and Charles Hall Davis Jointly
OF these indictments eleven charge
mat false reports We're made by Mn
Bishop and twelve charge both men
with larceny OF the banks funds. The
trial of Indictment No. . was but the
opening gun OF the prosecution. and
1t served It's purpose. II brought the
return Ilro of the defense. and gave
the opposition ali outline of It's at
tack. Even this indictment may be
amended. which would make twenty
two In all under which Mr.. Bishop may
DO tried. There Will be no relcntine
on tho part of the prosecution, 1t is
said, and 1t may be that the two men
VIII be put OH trial continuously until
they are either acquitted or the indict.
ncnts arc exhausted. Feeling against
both Is said to be strong. IL
NO other case Will come up in this
the April t,rm or the court but a

nents may be set for some time dur

many REPORTS from Mexico that reach
the White House are far from cncour-

are still hoping for peace. The Cabi-

that this government shall stand pat
for the present. No more troops are

at least no war vessels arc to be sent
