the county work house proposition,
composed of Supervisors Fred Graf

project and Mr.. Wright explained his
reason for advocating a $4,000 bond
issue for work house. Committee

NOTHING CROOKED
IN L0R|MER'S ACT

Chicago, March 23.-William C.
Niblack, receiver of the LaSalle Street
Trust and Savings bank, reiterated on
the stand today that there was no evil
dence of dishonesty on the part of Will
liam Lorimer in the failure of the
bank. His statement was made on
redirect examination in the trial of
Mr. Lorimer, charged with conspiracy
to wreck the bank. 1t brought about a
clash between the witness and Heyden
n. Bell, assistant states attorney, who
asked that Mr.. Niblack be as liberal in
expressing his opinion of the defend
ant as he was yesterday in giving it
concerning C. B. Munday, convicted
vice president of the bank
We'll, it was the truth. Munday
stole the money and that is what
said" was Niblack's reply.
The witness said the books showed
no evidence of the dishonest dealings
by Mr.. Lorimer and declared:
You can't keep books so skillfully
as TO cover up everything"
do the books show Munday got the
money!"
Yes, sir, large chunks of it. One
large item Munday got was S120,00(
worth of Southern Traction Company
bonds"
| Mr.. Niblack was then excused.
