ARGUING THE BANKING LAW

Another chapter is being added
to the bank cases today. The
question of the eonstitionality of
the amended Act is being argued
before the Supreme Court.
Mack & Green, representing Re.
ceiver Widles put in the morning
session arguing on points relative
to the amendments offered by the
legislature last winter. 1t is con-
tended that the amendment. to the
law Is unconstitutional as it de-
priVes the courts from jurisdiction
in the matter Of appointment of
receiversbips.
II will be remembered the
amendment to the law abolishes
receivers as appointed and names
the State Bank Examiner as the
receiver of all defunct banks or
other financial institutions. Re-
ceiver Wildes, Of the State Bank
Company. through his attorneys, Is
fighting the new law.
Should the court decide the Law
constitutional IL means that Eugene
Howell takes up the work of the
receivership without salary from
the bank, he being paid by tn,
state in his official capacity. Thi,
is the matter in a nut shell.
Attorney General Baker ant
assistant James Judge, are repre-
senting Mr.. Howell or the state i,

BEN BUTLER'S BLUFF

General John A. Bingham was
a member of the military tribunal
that tried Mrs. Sturratt and the
Lincoln assassination conspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent
debate in the house General B. F.
Butler frequently charged that the
commission had arrived at an un-
just verdict and had convicted an
innocent woman. In a memorable
debate he boldly proclaimed that if
the contents of a diary which had
been found on the dead body of j..
Wilkes Booth were ever made
public ii would disclose the fact
that it contained the proof of Mrs.
Surratt's innocence, which proof
had been UNANIMOUSLY suppressi by
the commission. When General
Bingham made a movement as
though he would repel such an
accusation, Butler dramatically
drew a memorandum book from
his breast pocket and held il aIoft,
but did not utter a word. Bing-
ham mutually supposed that Butler
had a copy of a diary such as he
had spoken of. AS a matter of
fact the book contained nothing
but blank leaves. General Butler
was just bluffing.
The diary was IN possession of
Secretary Stanton, but President
Johnson finally demanded it. 1t
was an interesting book, but it
threw no light upon the great
conspiracy.

sound and constitutional as il
names a specific duty of the State
Receiver.
The matter is being tried out as
a matter OF law and no sentiment
is figured. 1t is simply a test Of
the constitutional power of the
legislature in amending Acts or
creating them.
AS the continuance Of the suits
against the directors of the State
Bank is involved in this procet ding
it is n of the most important
cases that has been before the
J court in many years. Should the
Supreme Court hold the law solid
it will be in the power of Mr..
Howell as Examiner to continue
the suits or dismiss them. He will
be able to use his judgement in all
hire and expense of the upkeep of
the present defunct banks through
out the state, and settle in many
ways minor cases that are now be-
fore the courts.
AS there is plenty of material on
both sides of the question to keep
the court guessing for some time
it is not likelv that a decision can
be expected inside of a month.
The decision of the Supreme Court
will settle the matter and also
define the power of Mr.. Howell as
State Receiver.-Carson Appeal.

DISTRICT COURT

District court convened at 10
o'clock this morning with Judge
John s. Orr Of Reno on the bench.
This being the time set for hear
ing the motions to set aside the
indictments against A.. Primeaux,
Rov frimesux and William Dye,

Gedney conducted the examination
of witnesses in the arson cases.
In rebuttal Judge Perkey offered
to prove that Mr.. Gedney was
before the grand jury as the
personal representative Of Mr.. A.
w. Sewall. the prosecuting witness
in the arson cases and was his paid
attorney. The offer was objected
to and Judge Orr sustained the
objection on the ground that the
offered proof did not come within
the statutory gounds for setting
aside an indictment.
Judge Perkey then gave notice
that if the motion to set side the
Dye case was overruled, he would
ask for ten days in which TO prare
and file a bill Of exceptions.
The court then took a recess
until 2 o'clock.
At 2 o'clock Judge Orr over

dants demurred to the indict.

demurrers were in progress when
