Motion For Dismissal OF Case
Left In Allegiance On The
Ground That 1t Is Matter
To Be Proved By Evidence
introduced; Drafts And
Notes Introduced AT Hear
ing To Show $4,000 Wa.
Obtained From S-A. Bank.
(By stan Corrcspondent.1

i Fargo, n. D., March 2s.-FSunda.
ton for the states case against A.. C..
Townley. charged with aiding and
counselling embezzlement of $4,000
from the Scandinavian American
bank of Fargo, was laid today during
the morning session of Townley's pre-
liminagy hearing.
Evidence was introduced showing
that T. =. Harvey one of the officials
of the United States Sisal Trust, drew
a draft for $4,000 against J.,J. Hast
ings, trustee of that organization and
vice president of the Scandinavian
American bank. and that Hastings
navian- American bank signed i. as
trustee of the Sisal Trust. while the
Scandinavian-Americ bank issued
draft for $4,000 in favor of the Sisal
Trust drawn on'the Northern Savings
bank Of Fargo. This was intended to
show the various steps in the transac-
ton. and the motive. namely. the
need Of funds for the Sisal Trust.
The note given by Hastings was
dated January 20, 1919. and was re-
newed as part Of another note for
$4,000 on April 7 of the same year.
Brcvig Identifies Drafts.
The various drafts and the note in
question were identified by N. J.
Brevig. assistant cashier of the Scan.
dinavian-American bank, who also
! identified the various entries in con-
nection with the transaction on the
books Of the Scandinavian-America
! bank.
The contention of the state will be
that the loan OF $4,000 on Hastingr'
rc:e was illegal. having never been
approved by the proper authorities Of
the Scandinavian American bank and
therefore constituted an embezzlement
| on Hastings part. se3e,
| 1t will be contended that Towniey
as the real owner Of the Sisal- Trust.
benefited by the transaction and
aided and counselled Hastings therein.
r. Tile greater part q, the morning
isesson was taken up by the identi-
fication Of the records in connection
with the transaction by Mr.. Brerig.
o. L. Engen. receiver of the bank,
was also on the stand, identifying the
bank records. Brevig was still testi-
flying on direct examination when the
hearing adjourned until 9 o'clock this
afternoon.
Demurrer Overruled
! A demurrer to the complaint en-
tered by the defense Monday was
overruled by Judge A. r. Cole. sitting
as the committing magistrate. who
held that the alleged offense was -suf
ficiently described for purposes Of the
preliminary hearing.
A motion for dismissal on tho
ground that the statutory time lini-
tations on the alleged offense had run
out before the filing Of the complaint
was left in abeyance on the ground
that it was a matter to be proved by
the evidence introduced in the course
of the hearing.
Many Objections.
The case moved slowly this morn
ing. largely owing to the large number
and Leslie Simpson. Townlcy's attor-
neys. Townley himself. who was
present. appeared to take little inter-
est in the proceedings during the
greater part OF the morning. r4
