cution yesterday afternoon against
w. p. Burrell, one OF the officials In
dieted on a charge Of receiving de-
posts after they knew the True Re-
formers bank to be insolyent. de-
clared in emphatic terms on the wit
ness stand that ne had believed for
sometime that the institution was
rotten to the core and that he had
been appointed by God to expose its
inward corruption.
On cross examination ne admitted
to Attorney Harry NJ. Smith. Jr.. that
he believed IN the horoscope that he
could sometimes foretell coming
events.
It was said that he had foreshad-
owed that ali would be well with the
defunct bank II the directors would
get together and trust to Providence
to save them. Evidently his advice
was mot followed. for the bank went
under. when. like a ship entering un-
known seas II foundered, in a field. Of
too varied endeavor.
Horoscope ~ Evidence.
:. For the benefit u ATTORNEY r. e.
Byrd. associate counsel for the de-
1ense. Mr.. Smith biandly asked what
a horoscope was. Counsel for the
Commonwealth objected. and the
court ruled the question out. the pre-
sumption being that Mr.. Byrd. y man
Of parts. had received sufficient edu-
cation and probably really knew
what horoscope was. Mr.. Smith
EXPLAINED that he wanted to test the
sanity. OF ssse E!tncno. but ATTORNEY
A. J. Montague objected on the
grounds that a mans religious belief
was not necessarily an indication OF
Insanity. Then M. Smith admitted
that he was himself Christian Scien.

tions are that her governor will get

there. particularly among the wage
