Twin Falls, Idaho, Oct. 31.-Bott
the prosecution and denfense rested
today in the LYDIA Meyer Southard
murder trial. Argument to the jury

The defendant took the stand
briefly at the instance of the prose
cution and was questioned as to
various transactions with respect to
purchases made and conversations
held by her at the time of the death
of Meyer.
Mrs. Roy Coffman of Billings,
Mont, was questioned by the prose
cution as to the details of an al
legged conversation in which the wit
ness was supposed to have voiced
suspicion as to the character of the
illness of Harlan c. Lewis, third
husband of the defendant. Mrs.
Coffman said she could recall no
such conversation.
DR.. j. e. .Coughlin, attending
physician in the Meyer case, reply
ing to questions by the state, de-
clared that the chart kept in the
hospital during the illness of the
deceased was reliable only as to
temperature, respiration, pulse and
medicine administered to the patient
and not otherwise dependable.
The chart in its entirety was
made a part of the record and en-
tered as an exhibit in the case upon
motion of the defense. There was
no objection by the state.

Depositors to Be Paid

The First National bank OF Fre-
mont, Ncb., failed to open for busi-
ness Monday.
Announcement was made that the
banks affairs are under the direction
of Roy Z. Smith, national bank ex-
aminer. Mr.. Smith expressed hope
that the bank may reopen in a few
days, but this depends on the ability
OF its officers to arrange for immedi-
ate advances OF cash, which is not
thought likely.
Steady shrinkagc OF deposits.
amounting to over Is per cent Of the
SS55,000 shown on hand Septem-
Der 6, and inability to collect on loans
to meet depositors' demands caused
the bank examiners action.
Officers OF the bank expressed a
belief that depositors will be paid
in full.
The First National IS the largest
bank TO be involved in Nebraska
since the series OF bank disasters
began several months ago.
Managed by Gurney.
The banks embarrassment. is an
eventual result OF the condition into
which it fell during the presidency
of f. r. Gurney, who managed its
affairs from about 1901 until May,
1920. Gurney, during part Of this
time and until April, 1921, was presi-
dent of the Lion Bonding & Surety
company Of Omaha. He was in
dicted by the Douglas county grand
jury for alleged embezzicment in
connection with the affairs OF the
latter company and is now at libcr-
ty under bond, awaiting trial.
The banks statement September
f. showed deposits of $855,000 and
loans of S69l 900. 1t showed capi-
tai of $l50,O0O. surplus, $4,000; bills
payable, $4,000 and due federal re.
serve. $4,000.
When it ended business Saturday
deposits had fallen to $4,000. The
United States National bank Of
Omaha is creditor to the extent Of
nearly 100000 The Chase National
bank Of New York claims $4,000 as
its due and the Continental and Com
mercial National bank of Chicago,
$4,000.
Banks Withdraw Reserve.
Since that< time deposits have
shrunk approximately Is per cent.
One of the heavy demands was that
made by Is out-state banks who
maintained part of their reserve in
the Fremont bank These banks had
$4,000 on deposit there September
6 and had cut this amount to $4,000
by the end of last week.
The situation is simply the result
of the general situation in an agricul-
tural community" said S. S. Sidner,
president of the bank. "The shrink
age of assets in the farming COM

bank, already under heavy handicap,
