preston that the bank itself had

profit. with the moneys Of the bank,
and that the bank had sold stocks

sion IT was deemed advisable by the
argument to submit an affidavit
specifically denying that this was the
case, and the affidavit in question was
prepared by counsel to deny the err
roneous inference that the bank had
cleared such orders for its own ac-
count. or that it ever made short sales,

STATEMENT OF RIGGS BANK.

The indictments grow out Of a con-
troversy regarding the technical con-
struction Of the phraseology OF an af-
fdavit filed in the course Of the argu-
nient in the pending suit Of the Riggs
National Bank against officers OF the
Government. This new proceeding does
not concern any moneys or other prop
erty of the bank and Is entirely per-
sonal to tie officers signing the afri-
davits.
On a purely technical construction
Of the wording OF the affidavit. by
which neither the court nor any one
else was deceived. and without any
charge involving loss or injury to the
property or business OF the bank. this
long action is taken at the
instance Of the Government. and. con-
trary to what Is understood to be the
usual course in such cases, while the
suit OF the bank against the Govern
ment officials is pending.
ITO facilitate Its depositors and GUS
toners In making their investments. it
was the habit Of the Riggs National
Bank to attend to the execution OF or
dc rs when received through one OF Its
officers acting in his individual capacity
as a member Of the Washington stock
Exchange, or otherwise. These orders
were upon a cash basis and not upon
margin. AS the transaction was con-
Quoted upon the order and for the ac-
count Of a particular depositor. custom
er. or other individual. In the current
course Of business, the execution or
trese orders were reported by the
brokers directly to the bank. but no or
der or transaction was ever made by
tho bank for It's own behalf or profit.
but invariably for and in behalf or
others.
''The fact that the bank cleared orders
OF this nature for dopositors and Gus
toners was open and we'll known TO the
investing community. and to every
COMPTROLLER Of the Currency, and to
every bank examiner passing upon the
affairs of the bank. Since the new
FEDERAL reserve law came into erect
the bank has not accepted any orders
of this nature. and the practice referred
to then ceased and Is no longer In
operation. These facts arc stated to
make 1t clear that there never has been
the least dispute or question that the
OFFICERS of the Riggs National Bank
aided it's depositors and customers IN
the making OF their Investments IN tne
manner referred to. and also to make It
appear in the affidavit 1t could by no
possibility have been intended to deny
that orders of this nature were made
through Lewis Johnson Co. put TO
count Of the bank.

have been awaiting the report OF the
grand jury and there has been a gem
eral understanding thar the inquiry
hinged on the affidavit which inquired in
the civil suit.
IT may be said that the Indictment did
not come as a surprise to the bank off,
GERS in view of the construction put on
the affidavit by Attorney Cntermyer
and others and the fact that the grand
jury necessarily heard only ox parte
evidence concerning the deposition.
An official of the bank says it is W ell
realized by all national banks tnat stock
speculation is forbidden by the present
banking laws and he asserts that the
RiSgs bank has not oversteppcd the
law. 1t Is contended. however, that il
IS perfect, proper for a bank to exc
cute a stock purchase or sale order for
customer and the Riggs National
Bank officials are today understood to
be preparing their defense along the
line that they acted as agents who have
merely carried out orders for others
