City and County Intelligence
SIMPSON BROTHERS GRANT
ED A FULL PARDON
Former Bankers Will Not Serve Any
Time in Federal Prison

w. G, and S. d. Simpson, former
president and cashier, respectively oil
the American National bank of Cald-
well were granted full and uncon-
ditional pardon by President Wilson
Friday last. The two bankers had
been tried and convicted. in March
1915, of issuing a fraudulent certih-
cate of deposit, and sentenced to
serve five years in federal prison.
The Simpsons pleaded that no
fraud had been contemplated and the
loss had been made good. A few days
ago they were granted respites of 6O
days. The pardon followed the re-
spites.
1t is rumored in local circles that
the Simpsons secured the interven-
ton in their behalf of Col. Z. NJ.
House, close personal friend and adj
visor of President Wilson. Colonel
House comes from Texas, and the
Simpsons, while originally from Ken
lucky lived and were in the banking
business at Bellies, Texas, a number
of years.
Organized Two Banks
5. d. Simpson came to Caldwell in
1906. He proceeded to promote the
organization of the Western Nation
al bank of this city. He interested a
number of our leading business men
and on June 2, 1906, the Western Ma
tional bank was successfully launched
Mr.. Simpson was elected cashier OF
the bank and remained with the bank
tor nearly two years. Differences
arose among the stockholders of the
bank and in 1908 Mr.. Simpson with
drew.
He set to work at once and on July
8. 1908 the American State bank OF
Caldwell opened for business. Short
ly after the organization of the bank
5. ID. Simpson was elected cashier and
w. Q. Simpson, who at the time lived
at Meridian, Arkansas. was elected
president. The two Simpsons held
their positions until shortly before the
failure of the American National
bank which succeeded the American
State bank. The American National
bank failed to open for business
Monday morning, December %, 1913.
Business Men Make Good
The activities of the Simpsons in
one way or another caused the fail
ure of the American National bank.
The depositors of the bank sustained
no loss although the funds were tied
up for some time. The directors and
stockholders of the bank made good
to the depositors.
S. D. Simpson Energetic
S. D. Simpson was a very ener-
getic man and in some respects very
capable. He was successful in attrac-
ting customers to his banks, each of
which grew steadily under his man
agement. The failure of the Amer-
can National bank proved conclusive
ly that Simpson was an unsafe banker.

OLD TIME PARMA SETTLER
VISITOR IN CALDWELL
John r. Mammen Settled in Boise
Valley 81 Years Ago

John R. Mammen for 81 years a
resident of the Boise Valley was in
the city from Parma Friday. Mr.
Mammen located on his present place
near Parma in 1864. and has lived there
continuously ever since. Three years
ago he met with an accident in a
runaway, Gripping his arm so that
he was unable to farm his place. At
that time he tried to sell, but was un-
able to make deal
Mr.. Mammen has been a lifelong
Democrat. In spite of this. he is
great admirer of Colonel Roosevelt
and Senator Borah. He states that he
was unable to get to the polls in 1912
or he would have voted for Colonel
Roosevelt, which would have been the
first vote he ever cast for any one
other than a Democrat. We strongly
suspect that Mr.. Mammen intends
voting for Mr. Hughes this year. The
weak, Facilitating foreign policy of
President Wilson does not meet with
the approval of Mr.. Mammen.

1t is quite common for Democratic
speakers and writer's to credit the
new Federal Reserce law with avert
ing panic at the outbreak of the
European war, though that law had
not yet gone into effect. Chairman
Ollie M. James. of the Democratic
