IN THE FEDERAL COURT
Thayer National Bank Case Hearing
Has Begun.

| A national bank examiner, who
took charge of the Thayer Nationa,
! bank in March, 1911, appeared in
the s. E. Pickens case this morning
and was closely examined by Major
A NJ. Harvey, the new federal at
| torney.
! The examiner, who was formerly a
| banker in Arkansas City, stated the
date of his call to Thayer and that
! he found a deficit of 1898 on the
bank accounts Pickens is charged
| in the indictment with eight counts,
amounting to $4,000 shortage. He
testified that he examined the records
with Pickens, who seemed much dis
turbed over the shortage Good
heaven" he said when the amount
was read, lis it as large as that?''
Pickens, who alleges himself 'incom-
petent," said he had been worrying
for months over the accounts that re-
fused to balance.
reilly of Chanute, r. w. Brewster of
Girard and Jacob 1. Sheppard of Fort
Scott delayed the trial this morning
by offering a continuous string of
objections. They represent some of
the sshrewdest legal talent in the
state and are expected to put up a
hard defense. They objected to Will
cox's testimony, Harvey's examination
and the reading of the accounts.
This trial." said one of the federal
Officials, looks as IL IL WOuIu ne
slow"
The prosecution alleges and expects
to prove that Pickens distracted funds
and falsified accounts. The attorneys
for the defense admit nothing, not
even that the bank has failed.
Poor investments were made, and
bad loans," said Mr.. Sheppard. Nine
thousands dollars was sunk in one
hole ad $1,000 in another. But the
bank is running now on it's own feet.
Pickens is innocent until he is proven
guilty, and to prove him guilty will
be a difficult thing to do"
Pickens' wife, who is with him in
Topeka, has been supporting their
three small boys by teaching school
in Thayer. The man himself, who
has been out on bond, has had diff
ficulty in finding positions and has
done any odd jobs that he could.

CASE OF BOURBON co.
Capper Appeals TO Supreme Court for
Recount of Vote.

1t is probable that Robert Stone as

committee and for Arthur Capper as
Republican candidate for governor,
will file suit in the supreme court to-
day to order a recanVaSs of the 70
turns in Bourbon county stone con-
tends that in several precincts where
Hodges had a majority that the votes
of both subernatorial candidates were
counted twice, giving Hodges an I'M
just majority of some 46 votes.
When the Bourbon county trouble
was brought to the attention of Cap
per and members of the state com
mittee, thev made an effort to secure
a recanvass of the returns. The coun-
ty clerk was willing, but had no legal
power to act. It is claimed that the
county board refused to reconvene for
this purpose. Now Stone threatens a
suit in mandamus to compel a re-
checking of the votes in that county.
