CIVIL WAR INTERRUPTS
.INDunNL,SII.NTS

Major Conrad then declared that
much of the public improvements had
not been completed when tho Civil War
came on. He showed where the bank
stock held by Virginia collapsed to
nothing as Il result; Of the war He
declared that other securities held by
Virginia as assets were also swept
away by the war.
While the argument to-day was con-
fined to the old assets OF Virginia the
hir question before tho court is tho
amount OF interest. The principal Of
West NirGinia's share of the debt is
small compared with the amount Of
interest. which has been running for
fifty years.
Attorneys for Virginia tomorrow
will deal with the interest question.
They will contend that West Virginia
should pay interest on her part OF the
old debt. West Virginia Will take the
attitude that her share of tho old as
sets. if fully recognized by the court,
Will wipe out entirely her part of the
debt, which the court fixed at s7,l60, 900
several years ago. She, therefore. is
lighting for a full share of the assets
and against the payment Of any in

volved in the question Of interest. while
the assets involve between $4,000. 900
