defense told of seeing Atchison in
the bank after banking hours.
Atchison, the vice president OF the
bank. is the main witness for the
prosecution, and in his testimony, de-
clared that he had never been in the
hank alone. The defense in making
a direct assault upon that portion OF
his testimony, and all afternoon pre-
scented witnesses to contradict it.

who testified this morning to the con-
dition of the banks books, declared

pounds and the other 230. Careful
records were kept of the feed con-
summed by these pigs and it was found
that so pounds of wheat and tank
