persons who lost their savings thru
the failure of the bank Of which he
was president. <s.. = I. An.
"The poorest win be paid back first"
Mr.. Lorimer said. "and Will devote
all my income, excepting what Is nee
essary for my family. to this restitu-
tion fund" '' '
A federal indictment against Lori

Attorney Cline said he would take no

in front of the judges bench.
After the confusion had subsided
somewhat, Lorimer addressed the jury
in trembling voice. After thanking
them he said: g. y,a y
