The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-03-21

For the first time in his life VIM.
Lorimer, politician and accused bank
wrecker, is delivering a fierce attack
on the most powerful money interest
in Chicago, with names, dates and a
wealth of details.
The two-column story in the
Tribune this morning, headed ''Lor-
liners Story" is the most vivid fash
light that has been thrown into the
inside works of the Chicago money
trust since U. S. Senator J. Ham
Lewis charged Geo. NJ. Reynolds,
head Of the federal reserve bank,
with stufing the payroll with cOu-
sins, nephews and brOthers-in-laW.
The story is told by Albert Fink,
attorney for Lorimer, in an opening
statement to the jury in Judge De
YeT's court, which is to decide wheth-
er or not the Blond Boss shall go to
Joliet. The banking game and the
newspaper game as played in Chi
cago were shown by Fink in what
he say is the only real inside story
of the bank smash. Behind the wreck
of Lorimer as banker were two
forces, says Fink. One was the
money trust or clearing house, ma
nipulated by Jas. B. Forgan, presi-
dent of the First National bank. The
other was the press.
It's exactly the kind of a story
that's tremendous in human interest
and bad for the banking business.
This may explain why every news
paper in Chicago but one laid off on
the story.
Whenever a new bank starts
downtown it is put on probation by
the Chicago Clearing House assn, a
volunteer organization of enormous
power" said Fink. cit is controlled
and dominated by a committee of
five men. If they approve Of the new
bank they admit it to the association.
If they disapprove it is their policy
to crush it.

SMALL RING RUNS GAME, SAYS LAWYER


house has a corps of examiners head
ed by James B. McGoUgal, a most eff
ficient examiner, who investigates
the condition of national banks, as
no national examiner ever does.
'|The members of the clearing
house, you know, don't absolutely
trust each other. Jas. B. Forgan of
the First National bank likes to know
what Geo. M. Reynolds of the CONT
mental & Commercial is doing, and
Reynolds is curious concerning the
activities of Chas. G. Dawes of the
Central Trust. So they have these
examiners.
"McDoUgaI examined the La Sale
and for some reason he has never
given he didn't like the way it was
going. He seemed to have a sort of
sixth sense which told him what to
think. After two more examinations
the bank was refused admittance to
the clearing house. Lorimer thinks
that refusal was based on the old
commercial desire to stamp out COM
petition.
Here we come to Forgan again.
FoTgan is the sort of a man who
must rule or ruin. For some reason
he determined that the La Sale was
not good for the financial interests of
Chicago, and so he decided to put it
out of business. The Corn Exchange,
for no reason whatever, except be-
cause the financial men wanted to
drive out the La Sale, refused to
clear for Lorimer's bank and advised
it to apply for admittance to the
clearing house.
mo bank in Chicago, New York
or any other large city was ever able
to survive after being refused admit
lance to the clearing house, nor has
any bank ever been able to with
stand the withdrawal of clearing
house privileges. The panic of 1907
was precipitated by the failure in

The theory Of the law is that the
duties of the solicitor are quasi judi
cial and that. while 1t Is moro espe-
ctslly made his duty to conduct the
prosecution 80 as to present the facts
upon which the State seeks a convic-
ton. nevertheless the duty rests upon
him to SOC that no act on his part
shall prevent the prisoner from hav-
Ing lair and impartial trial. The
state does not desire a conviction In
any case unless the prisoner has been
accorded those rights that entitle him
to fair trial. When the assista Mt
solicitor heard the witness McFadden
testify differently from the statements
which he had already made 1t was his
duty to bring such facts to the atten-
tion OF the solicitor In order that he
might take such steps as might be
necessary to enable the prisoner to
have fair trial"
1T is because Of the quasi judicial
nature OF the duties imposed upon
the solicitor that he should be most
careful to retain control of the con-
duct Of the case. as 1t Is but reason.
