Telegram. 1.-The supreme court to-

president of the Farmers State
bank. Halsey, by the Thomas county
district conurt.
The case was one of the first Of
more than dozen prosecutions
against bankheads sared by Aorney

tificates of deposits aggregating $780,
900 on the bank without delivering
any valuable consideration in return.
These certificates were sold to banks

After the arrest of Ridings these
banks attempted to collect the money
from the state guarantee fund. Davis
refused to permit ]. E. Hart, secre-
tary of trade and commerce, to draw
on the fund to cover these certifi-
Gates and took the fight to courts.
The courts upheld the Davis claims
that the guarantee fund was not le-
sally responsible for these certifi-
