Late Frank w. Elliott's Financial
Troubles Aired in Court.

Burlington, April 25.-- Some Of the
financial difficulties of the late Frank
w. Elliott came out yesterday in the
trial OF the case Of the Howard Nation
al bank VS.. Graham Wilson, which was
opened in county court The bank
is suing to recover the sum Of $4,000
on a note given by the defendant the
latter port of September, 1919, on
which nothing has been paid, with the
exception of the interest to January /.
1920. The bank claims that the full
amount Of the note and interest there
on from January |, 1920, il, due.
Although only two witnesses were
heard yesterday, w. B. Howe, presi-
dent Of the Howard National bank,
and Harry S.Weed, cashier Of the bank,
the claims of the defence came ont to
4 considerable extent in the cross-ex-
animation. The defense maintains
that the $4,000 loan WAS what is
generally known as an accommodation
loan, for the benefit Of Frank w.
Elliott. at that time general manager
of the Howard National bank. and that
Mr.. Wilson himself never had cent
of ii.
It was brought out in connection
with the testimony that there existed
from July II to September rs, 1910,
an overdraft against the account OF Mr..
Elliott in the Howard National bank
to abont Sl45a0. v. A.
in conducting the cross-ex
animation for the defense. declared that
the defense would try to show that
this loan was secured from Mr.. vii
soi, for the special benefit Of Mr.. |
Elliott. in order that he might meet
this overdraft
II was further intimated that the de |
fensc would try to show that the How
ard National bank knew of Mr.. FL I
liott's financial transactions at the
time they were going on and could not |
therefore, recover on note of this kind /
which the defense claims. was simply /
.urned into the bank for Mr.. Elliott's
benefit.
A number Of references were made to /
he financial affairsr OF the Elliott /
lumber company. From the care taken
n drawing the jury and from the
say the case has started out, il seems
kelly that il will occupy the time of
he court during the remainder OF the
week.
