WHAT WOULD AN HONEST MAN Do2

AA&2AN Dos
: J:J. Hastings, at one time vice president of the
Observation-Disclosures bank of Fargo, stands
formally charged with the c1nbezzlement of the sum
OF $4,000 from that institution. That he obtained
the money is unquestioned He does not deny it.
The state charges that, as an officer Of the bank he
caused this money to be paid to him for the use of a
Sisal concern in Florida in whose affairs he was in
volved, but which at that time had no legal exist
ence. The state proposes to prove that the money
was paid to him without the consent of the directors
of the bank, and that the whole Transaction was
illegal. J.
What would an honest man do Under the cir
cumstances?
Usually when a false charge is made against a
man who values his reputation the accused individ-
ual is found fully as anxious as the prosecuting
authorities are that he shall be confronted in open
court with his accusers in order that the falsity Of
their accusation may be publicly and conclusively
established.
Hastings has either undergone a change of
heart or adopted a new policy since his arrival on
the Pacific coast. When he was conducting high
finance in North Dakota he was no shrinking violet.
In the im~pressivEness of his front the late Thomas
Allen Box had nothing on him. Had he continued
the Respondent career on the coast which he began
on the prairies, the western people would have
known OF his arrival the moment he reached Seattle.
They would have heard him coming, all the way
down to San Diego. But they didn't know a thing.
Hastings seems to have been conducting some
sort of bond selling enterprise in Seattle for a year
OF more, and yet, when he was urgently wanted in
North Dakota, it was necessary to comb the entire
coast before he could be located. That isn't like
Hastings.
When he was found he continued to shrink. He
shrank so completely that presently he wasn't there
at all, notwithstanding the solemn promise that he
would remain accessible until the formal warrant for
his arrest arrived. When the warrant arrived he
was gone. Still he made no noise, and some further
effort was necessary before he was found, this time
IN Sacramento. He is still there. and he intends to
stay there, if the assistance of all the radical politi-
clans whom he can summon to his aid is successful
in obstructing' the very natural and proper demand
of the authorities of North Dakota that he return
and explain how about that three Thousand dollars.
Hastings is willing to face his accusers, but only
at long range He will try to keep at least half a
continent between himself and them.
