 InstitutioR.


 The Weslow Trust Company. of Hot Springs, which was established by Mrs. M. A. Weslow, who was formerly Miss "Zip" White. daughter of the late H. King White, many times mayor of Pine Bluff, has been made the defend- ant in an unusual legal proceeding in the Garland County Court, in which Sheriff Hale is trying to recover s7,500 alleged to have been deposited by recluse some weeks ago. The reeluse died recently and Sheriff Hale was named administrator of his estate. Mrs Weslow refuses to give up the money on the ground that it is time deposit. Weslow is also well known in this city, having lived here for sev- eral months. A Hot Springs paper says.
 The $3,50O left by Redmon Riley, who was found dead in room over Eddleman's store, a few weeks ago, is causing lot of trouble, and as a result of Riley leaving no living relatives in Hot Springs. Sheriff H. l.. Hale, the public administrator, and the Weslow Cooperative Trust Com- pany; in which Riley's money is de- posted had lengthy argument on Saturday afternoon in Judge Farmers probate court as to what disposal would be made of the money.
 Riley made a deposit on time cer- tificate in the~ Weslow Comparative Trust Company, Tue, on May 23, plac- ing $7,ooo on the Institution so Mrs. Arnold M. Weslow, seeretary-treas- urer, claims. Sheriff Hale made the claim that Riley had deposited $7,500 in the bank and asfnan named keogh testified that this Is the amount that Riley told him he had deposited. Quite lengthy, session of the pro- bate court was held and Mrs. Weslow held the stand the greater part of the ttirtiiss time: She told th1 6aaowing 4story of the transactionfte eScourt:i "On May 23, Redmon Riley earne to the bank and deposited $7,5Oo on time certifi- cates of six months and asked me if he could get the money when he needed it. l told him he could. aud my husband went east after this and when we returned the boy of the Ar kansas Trust Company came over to the bank with the certificate which I had given MT. Riley and asked to have it cashed. l told him could not do it, as it was time certificate and would not be any good until six months had elapsed.
 Shortly afterwards came to the bank and asked me to give him all the money could on the certificate. l asked him if half would do. and he said yes accordingly gave him half but he never had the certificate. This was on July 8, and he signed . voucher which stated that he had re- ceived the money from me. and he signed another certificate which stat ed the balance of the amount, another $3,5O0 would not be due for 8 year. which will be in July 1913. "I never knew that MT. Riley was dead until Sheriff Hale came and told me, and said he could not find the cer- tificate of deposit. Sherif Hale said he was public administrator. but he showed no papers to that effect and when he came to the bank and claim ed that he was administrating the affairs of man named O'Reilly. We have a depositor by that name, but knowing him not to be the man Sher'n Hale was told we had no such depos- itor, but the Sheriff insisted we did and then we found out the mans true name. We had no intention of hiding the fact that he was a depositor and when MT. Baker, friend of Riley's claimed that he told him that he only had $500 in the bank in froat of my husbspd. sheri1 Hale, Scott Wood and 2 MT, Mckinney we told them differ ent.
 'sI cannot see why l. have come to court ss the transaction was perfectly legal in every way and several peo- ! ple have said that Riley Aas 2 sister and two nsphews living in Ireland but ! doipot know whether this is SC of not.
 Mrs. Weslow was on the witness stand for over two hours and was closely cross-questioned by Judge Wood. He. however. failed to shattes her testimony and the books of the bank which were in court were one over and the voucher aud tsinature
