WASHINGTON. Jan. 30--Dr. James M- Taylor of New York, secretary of the board of foreign missions or the
 Methodist Episcopal church, related for the first time today the story of his capture by Mexican soldiers to whom his friends paid s2)0 in gold for his release.

and $25,750 in Liberty bonds, are al

participants, featured the second day
of Rufus Fords trial, in Russell
county circuit court here Thursday.
Mrs. Dickerson declared when she
left Rufus Ford's home, after the
cash had been divided into five
shares of $5,430 each, she carried
approximately $4,000 in currency
and the entire amount of Liberty

believe they had been brought back

and wiped out much of the evidence
of what had transpired.
Then take the testimony of Mr..
Stephens, who saw a man come out
o fthe bank about 1 o'clock in the
morning, walk to the middle of the
street and fire a pistol, shouting

Recess is Taken
There was no robbery; there were
no midnight bandits. They are the
Ioduct of Green's Imagination to
divert public condemnation from
himself for the misdeeds he knew
he could not longer conceal"
NJ. Napier's address was conclud-
ed shortly before 1 o'clock. when a.
hours recess was taken.
Green's Statement
The statement of Green on the
stand in his own behalf-the only at
tempt tn defense made to refute the
states case-took up the majority OF
the att+Enoon session. His story
substantially, was the same as he
has told all along in regard to the
looting and burning Of the bank by
two masked men. He admitted that
he had learned to care for Mrs.
Bradst est" and that she was a very
fascinating lady" but he declared he
never spent any money on her, al
though making her loans which, he
said, she always repaid. He ende
his statement with the declaration:
"GentIclnen of the jury, like every
other man, l have done things wrong,
but 1 can today place my hands at
my heart and say that I have never
betrayed a friend, 1 have never
abused a trust and have never
wrongful y used any mans funds"
Green was perfectly composed as
he took the stand and faced the jury.
The courtroom was packed to suffo-
cation, for the wet weather had
given the farmers of Campbell coun-
ty a holiday and they were out in
force to hear what they believed
would prove the most sensational
feature of the trial.
