Hears Attorney Recite AL
legged Series of Finan-

HE BROKE A BANK?
Mismanagement of Affairs
Laid at Door of Ousted
L. S. Senator.

CHlCAGO. March l4.-William
~ I.orimer, whose seat in the United
States senate was declared vacant on
the ground that ii was the result of a
political crime. today listened to a re-
cital of his alleged financial crimes.
The recital was by William II.
Holly, assistant states attorney, who
told a Jury in criminal court that the
defendant was charged with con-
spiracy and embezzlement in connec-
ton with the failure of the La Sale
Street Trust & Savings bank in Chi
cago two years ago. Mr.. Lorimer re-
manned imperturbable throughout the
denunciation.
Mr.. Holly said that testimony that
was not adduced at the trial of c. B.
Munday. senior vice president of the
bank. who was convicted on similar
charges, would be introduced during
the present hearing.
Lorimer's defense, il is said, will be
based largely on the contention that
Mr.. Lorimer. although president of
the institution, trusted the business to
Mr.. Munday and was himself absent
much of the time.
Many Bad Loans.
Lorimer started the La Sale Street
National bank in 1910 when he was
in the United States senate, Mr.. Holly
related.
1--WE shall contend" said Mr.. Holly,
that Mr.. Lorimer was in position
to influence the national bank eX-
aminer. There was large amount
of bad paper in the bank. The owners
were political friends of the then SEN
ator. Bank officials made no effort
to get rid of this paper but instead
the bank changed its charter from the
national to the state form and be-
came the La Sale Street Trust
Savings bank"
The prosecutor went into detail con-
cerning loans made by the La Sale
bank to enterprises of Mr. Lorimer,
Mr. Munday and II. w. Huttig, the
cashier.
When the bank failed June II,
1914, the prosecutor sad that
S2,1OO.O0O of outstanding loans OF
$4,000, 900 had been loaned to enter
prses of the three officers named.
