R. u. FULLER HAS PRELIMINARY
EXAMINATION.

The preliminary examination of
r. H. Fuller charged with receiving
deposits when the Commercial Bank
was in an insolvent condition, was
held in the precinct justice court
Thursday afternoon. County At
torney Wapperman was in attend
ance, and had things all his own
way, as Mr.. Fuller was not repre-
sented by counsel and put up no
defense, believing that any defense
he might make in the local court
would be Of no avail for the reason,
as he says, that he was slated to be
bound over to the superior court in
any event.
At the preliminary examination
about a dozen witnesses testified
that they had made deposits on either
June 9 or June IL The complaint
alleged that the offense was COM
mitted on June 8, but several wit
nesses testified that they had made
deposits on June IL, and on other
dates. Any testimony relating to
any other date than June 8, of
course, would not be admitted in
any court whose magistrate possess
ed any knowledge of procedure
About all the evidence submitted
by the state was that a number Of
people had made deposits in the bank
before it closed it's doors; that quite
a few witnesses were acquainted
with the bank. and knew the names
of the president and the cashier,
and that none of the witnesses knew
the true financial condition of the
defunct bank before it went defunct.
Of they had such knowledge they
probably would not have had any
thing OH deposit on the date the
bank closed.)
The state introduced no evidence
tending to show that Cashier Fuller
knew that the institution was in an
insolvent condition, and this paper
doubts that anyone who knows Bob
Fuller believes that he committed
any crime in connection with the
failure of the bank

a tour OF the country. While it so
happens that the question of food
