GOOD PROGRESS MADE
IN THE BANK TRIAL
Predictions Being Made That State
win Rest its Case Within
Next Few Days.

HazIehurst. Miss. Dec. 16. The
ninth day of the Becker trial was
resumed here this morning, and 5.
e. Mureton was introduced by the
State to qualify as to property val
ues in Lincoln County. Mr.. More
ton proved good witness for the
State and showed that he was fa-
miliar with property values and al
so knew the property owned by the
CommerciaI Bank 4 Trust Company
when it closed on Jan. 3rd. 1914.
The State took nearly all the
forenoon in qualifying Moreton as
W itness, and on several occasions
the jury was excluded from the
Court room, while the Attorneys
we're arguing before the court. the
admissibiIty of some evidence given
by Moreton, However the scrap
ping by the attorneys did not attain
such an aspect of arguments and
objections as on the previous day.
Several times during the day the
Attorneys showed spirit of lev
ity but the court got down to real
business today and while there we're
only two witnesses ON the. stand
during the day, the defense seems
satisfied with the evidence offered
by Moret ton
Most of the evidence offered by
Moreton was with reference to the
value of the B E Brister Saw
Mill Co, at Bogue Chitto whose
business had been settled in bank
ruptcy and which was subsequently
purchased by the Homochitto Lum-
ber Co.. of which Moreton is Presi-
dent. The Court ruled that for
Moreton to qualify as witness
that he would have to take the as
sets Of the B. E. Brister Saw Mil
Co !. and value it. Moreton testi-,
fed that the timber holdings of
the Brister plant consisting of
rs, 900 acres would cut 1000 900

lty. on January 3rd. 1914. 1896, 200.
The defense contended that q
forced sale on the Brister Saw Mill
Co., was not a test of its assets.
The court then ruled tFat each item
in the schedule of assets be valued
as separate matter. The defense
has contended all along that the
Commercial Bank 4 Trust Co. was
solvent on the day that Kay l..
Brown made the deposit of S55. 90
and on which the indictment
against Becker was found charging
him with receiving money IN the
bank when he knew il to be insol-
vent. The States contention is.
that it will show that the Bank
was insolvent on Jan. 3rd. the day
it closed its doors, and that its as
sets. placing fair value on them
will not be sufficient to pay the de-
positors. The State is being rep
resented by the District Attorney
and Nick FuIgham in a creditabIe
and able manner. Mr.. Wall as
we'll as Mr.. Fulgham is doing
Everything to carry out the majesty
of the law, and States interests
will not suffer, and the depositors
kof the defunct bank may rest as
spred that they are being we'll rep
