Odlum Would Believe Him.

r. a. Odlum was the first witness
called by Hugh Magevney, counsel for
Raine, on Tuesday morning. Odlum
said that he had known Raine for 40
years. knew his reputation prior to 1914
was good, and stated that he would be-
lieve him wen now on a witness stand.
II. A, Roynon, Of the city tax as
SCISSORS office, was the second witness.
He also said no man had a better Tepu-
tation In Memphis prior to 1914, when
the Mercantile bank went to the wall,
than Hunter Raine had, He also would
believe Raine now on Il witness stand,
he said.
OF both witnesses on cross-eXamina-
ton Sam O. Bates, states attorney,
asked one question. Did you know the
defendant had taken 81 ,056, 900 Of the
Mercantile banks money! was the
question.
Capt. George T. O'Haver, former
chief Of police, and now head OF
O'Haver's Detective agency, was the
third and last witness, He stated that

First Real Trial.

You have never been tried in GRIM
inal court" Mr.. Bates asserted.
They tried to get a jury TO try me
and could not" Mr., Raine retorted.
Mr., Raine said that when he was
brought into the courthouse they asked
him II he wanted to make bond and
he replied that he did not, he wanted
to go to Jail. He said they had tried
10 try him in the criminal court before
his trial in the federal court.
Mr.. Raine said Mt. Craft told him
when he went to Atlanta for the depo-
sition that his assets so far had totaled
1900, 600 and they were still working on
his accounts.
Mr.. Raine said he was worth prac-
tically a million dollars in 1907 when he
went back to the bank, and that he lost
a like amount from 1912 until the bank
closed.
Asked II he lost his million and a
million of the banks money, Mr.. Raine
answered that his loss represented
what he owed the Mercantile bank. He
said he felt that the debt was abso-
the bank he knew 1t could not be paid.
Directors Ignorant.
Asked what directors other than
Reese kne0 that he was borrowing
money in such large sums from the
bank, he said he did not know hat any
of them knew IL; said he did not think
Mr.. Reese knew It.
He said he charged New York with
the amounts he took out with the
because he didn't want the di-
rectoTs to know he was borrowing
money from the bank.

But, because Bennett would not give
him time to pay his debts to tho bank,
and forced his hand ut a critical time,
he and the bank went broke, he
claimed.
Raine said he got drunk on Sunday,
following the late Saturday night and
Sunday morning conference between
himself, Bennett, Gen. Luke Il. Wright
and Haig. another New York banker.
1t was this conference which decided
Raine's fate, for the others declined to
let him proceed with his speculations,

Raiue said he had l5-yoar-cld whisky,
1870 proof, at home, that he drank

said.
Asked about his saying that he alone
was guilty, when he MAS taken to the
courthouse by a deputy sheriff, he re-
piled that he meant he was guilty of

Capt, O'Haver said ne had known
Raine for 80 years, that his reputation
prior to 1914 was very good, and that
he had faith in his integrity now, and
would believe him under oath In Il
court Of justice.

side" replied the veteran detective.
At the close Of testimony, Hugh Ma
gevney moved again for a directed yer
dict for the defendant on the grounds
that no emblezzelemenJ had been COM
mitted, because the money came first
into the hands of Raine's employer, the
bank, and no third person was in
volved; second that there had been
committed no fraudulent breach OF trust
because it was impossible for the de-
PENDANT to return the same moneys
that had been received by his employ
ers, and third, that there was no lar
ceny because there vas no proof OF
his taking away from the bank a single
