COURT PREPARES
FOR NEXT TERM
Cases Will Require Attention
Until TueSday-WiII Hear
Motions on Wednesday.

Because OF the nearness Of the close
OF the September term, no cases were
set in circuit court Friday morning.
The trial calendar for the following
week is usually made out on Friday,
but Judge Walter a. Funk decided
that the present cases now at would
occupy the attention Of the court Un-
til Tuesday, the last day in which con-
tested cases viii be heard.
Wednesday, the court announced.
will be given over TO the hearing or
motions for Judgments on verdicts
which have not already been brought.
This will wind up the business Of the
court for the term.
The most important case set for
the opening of the November term is
the Cassiday receiver suit against the
South Bend Chilled PlOw Co. This
case promises TO bring forth a great
array OF legal talent as prOminet jur-
lists are representing the two sides.
Maria Cassiday, plaintiff In the suit
as Administrative Of the estate of Will
liam Cassiday. charges that she has
been withheld from seeing the books
Of the concern. She therefore asks an
accounting as we'll as the appoint
ment Of a receiver.
Some time ago. Judge Funk sus-
tanned a motion Of counsel for the
plaintiffs that an accounting firm
from Chicago be allowed TO examine
the books o. the pillow company that
they may secure evidence TO be used
in the trial.
The case has been set for Nov. IS.
The most important criminal action
Of the November term will come when
Otto Roeder charged with first de-
gree murder. will face trial. Roeder
is accused of the murder Of Harry F.
Love, Wakarusa telegraph operator
and has been confined in county Jail
for the last three months awaiting
trial.
Circumstantial evidence will play a
heavy part IN the prosecution of
ROeder it is expected. and a clear
connecting chain OF evidence has been
worked out by the state.
Another interesting case that will
probably come up for action is the
petition OF John Talbot for readmis-
sion TO the bar. This case will re-
vive old issues, and is to be bitterly
contested, IL is understood. Chester
Montgomery, Frank Gilmer, and r. l..
Morris will represent the bar asso-
citation in the proceedings
In the superior court, Friday mark
ed the last day OF jury cases. All
other jury cases will go over to the
next term, "a the only court cases will
be tried from now on to the close of
the present term.

 GUILTY IN COUNTS

 National Bank.

Little Rock, April 15.-A jury in U. $. District Court Wednesday after noon returned verdict of guilty in several counts, and not guilty in three, In an indictment against w. H. Cum mlns, charged with violating the fed eral banking laws by aiding Charles Lawson, former note teller of the Ex- change National Bank. Lawson had the day before pleaded guilty. The charges involved the manipulation of fradulent bills of lading to the amount of about $40,000, held by the bank as security against the T. H. Bunch Con- mission Company.
 Cummins was recently apprehended Tn Chicago, where he was living under the name of A. C. Henry. He testi- fled that he left the city and changed his name at the suggestion of T. H. Bunch, of the Bunch Commission Con- pany, "until the trouble at the Ex- change National blew over."
 Judge Trieber made an order in both the Lawson and the Cummins case deferring sentence until May 2S, and discharging the men under $5,OOO bond.
 It is understood that strong effort will be made to secure a pardon for Lawson, as the, sympathy of the whole city is with him. He is from one of the city's oldest families, and no one believes that he profited one pen ny from the transactions, which he be- lieved were only an accommodation to a good patron of the bank.
