Fargo, N. D., March 30.-Judge A.
T. Cole today denied motion by
Leslie Simpson, attorney for the de-
tense for the dismissal of the charge
of advising and counselinE en-
bezzlement against A.. c. Townley.
This motion was made after Assist
ant Attorney General George Shafer,
had informed Judge Cole that the
states contention was that the eyi-
dence which 1t mad SO far put in dur
ing the preliminary hearing Of Mr..
Townley. was sufficient primae-facie
proof that the crime of embezxle-
ment had been committed in the
bank and that the further evidence to
be offered would be of circumstantial
and corroborative nature taking in
other angles Of the case.
Judges Stand.
Judge Cole in statement volun-
teered from the bench took tho
ground that White it had been shown
that j. ]. Hastings had made a loan
to the U. S. Sisal trust with himself
as trustee without the authorization
from the directors of the bank asAre-
quired by law, and that this would
tend to show embezzlement the fact
of an embezzlement being committed
was not yet fully established. a%
C1tCS Nebraska Case.
He also cited Nebraska case deal
ing with embezzlement from which
he deduced, that an intention to per-
! mamently divert funds must be shown
to prove embezzlement.
In answer to question by Attor-
ney General Johnson, however, as to
whether or not it be necessary for the
state to prove that Hastings intended
to permanently divert the sum lent to
the Sisal Trust, Judge Cole said that
would depend on the circumstances
shown.
Brinton On Stand.
J. w. Brinton was on the stand
during the entire morning on cross
and redirect examination.
Much of Brinton's testimony was
along the same line as that which he
| gave last summer during the trial for
perjury which resulted in his acQuit-
tai, and was to the effect that Mr..
Townley controlled the sisal trust.
Same Memorandum.
! He produced the same typewriter
memorandum shown at that time
which he said had been given him by

Chicago, March 3o.-Josefa and
Rosa Black. the "Siamese twins" "
died at hospital here at 2:37 this
morning. Josefa's death occurred
onds by the death Of her sister. Ply
mcians had declared early in the
night that in the event of the death
of one of the sisters, the other would
die, inasmuch as their brother, Frank
Black, had refused to permit an
operation which would sever their
bodies.
Ill For Some Time.
The twins have been confined in
the hospital for the last ten days.
Josefa was ill with yellow jaundice
and this was followed by pneumonia.
: Shortly before her death Rosa was
afflicted with bronchitis. .NE g
Following the refusal of the brother
to authorize the operation, DR.. B. H.
Breakstone, chief of the surgical
staff Of the hospital, declared this
morning that it would be impossible
to save one of the twins in the event
: of the others death. s
Preparations had been made for the
operations and the physcians were
I ready to make every effort to save the
life Of at least one OF the women.
Hope of saving the life Of Josefa wac
abandoned at midnight, according to
DIR. Breakstone. 's.&
Protested Against Operation.
: IT tried to get the consent Of the
brother to operate to save the life of
Rosa but he refused to give his per-
mission" added the physician.
DR.. Breakstone explained that a
delicate operation would have been
necessary. Before their death he had
expressed the opinion that the physi-
illogical affinity Of the twins was 80
vital that II one should die the other
