AGAINST O'NE|L
OF WALLACE
PRESIDENT OF OEFuNCT BANK
ALTERED TRIAL BALANCES
AND ovERpRAFTs.

T.. ONcil. former president of the
State Bank OF Commerce OF Wallace,
Idaho, accused Of embezzlcmcnt and
making a false report. AT the re-
quest of counsel for O'Neil the hearing
was continued until Saturday. The
evidence of the prosecution consisted
of eight depositlons taken at Wallace
before Judge worstcll OF the probate
court.
The most serious accusations were
contained In the deposition OF Edgar
Smith Wyman, former cashier of the
State Bank of Commerce. He stated
that OTNeil was In thcshabIt OF alter
Ing the figures In the trial balances In
preparing statements for the public,
and that he gave as hls excuse that
he wanted to show good assets and
good trial balance as compared with
the other banks doing business In
Shoshone county. In this way the re-
port on loans and discounts Was
raised from 3426.9l6 10 t452,42O on
May 5. 1903. But the biggest altcra
tiOns were made In the statement OF
Overdrafts In this way the over
drafts Of the same date were reduced
from s227.sss TO 327.es3. These over.
drafts were not secured In any way
and the money went principally e
the Lane Lumber company and thu
Idaho Northern Railway company. two
concerns In which O'Neil was inter
ested.
