Transactions Questioned

Transactions Questioned
The Government contends that Gov
ernor McCray represented to banks
that notes offered by him represented
sale of cattle to various stock farms,
when in fact they We're made out by
him. signed by him and represented
no business transactions.
Banker after banker, on the witness
stand, was asked these questions.
when YOU took this paper, did you
have any knowledge that Warren T.
McCray was the sole owner of the
farm whose name appears on it?'
Did you know the note was in
fact his own obligation?'
Did you have any knowledge that
the note was executed by McCray and
did not represent any actual trans
action?'
In almost every instance. witnesses
answered in the negative.
A large amount Of correspondence
between the Governor and banks also
was introduced in evidence. Many
letters written by the Governor rep
resented to the banks that he had
on hand notes which ne had taken
for the sale of cattle and that he had
carefully investigated the makers and
found them financially responsible.
The Government contends that a
majority of the names appearing on
the notes as makers was, in fact
nothing more than the names OF farms
owned by the Governor himself.
Many Indianapolis bankers were in
the courtroom waiting to be called as
witnesses.
Elliott, who was forced to give up
the actual trial of the case for a
short time Tuesday afternoon because
of illness. again questioned witnesses.
Although still very hoarse, he was in
much better condition than Tuesday.
Judge Albert B. Anderson occasion
ally insisted that the trial be facili-
tated. He seemed impatient of un-
necessary delays and on several oc-
casions uged attorneys to proceed
more rapidly.
Metz Banker Testifles
S. A. Kohl, cashier OF the Citizens
Bank of Metz, Ind. was the first wit
ness today. He testified his bank
holds two notes of $4,000 each signed
by McCray which Kohl said were
bought from the Meyer-K Bank
of Indianapolis.
Kohl was followed by F. B. Bernard,
president of the Merchants National
Bank of Muncie. Bernard said that
the Governor was indebted to his bank
to the sum of $1,000 on a personal
note, as the result of correspondence.
At the opening of court. more than
one hundred bankers were sworn in
as witnesses. They comprised the
bulk of the courtroom crowd.
Circular Letter Introduced
The Government, before the first
witness took the stand, introduced as
exhibits correspondence between the
Governor and the Peoples Savings
Bank of Evansville, which had been
identified Tuesday by NJ. Schaefer,
assistant cashier.
The correspondence showed that the
bank had received circular letter
from Governor McCray, offering good
cattle paper"
Anothed letter from the Governor,
in reply to inquiries by the bank,
stated that the notes bore the sigma
ture Of two or more freeholders.
The bank, according to the CORE
spondence, discounted two personal
notes of the Governor, each for
IS 900. upon his assurance, through
United States mails, that II. A. Rine

Tools for Garden
Spade, Rake and Hoe VIII
Be Sufficient for Your
Small Space.

Nearly every hardware store and
practically NIL OF the seed houses keep
supply OF garden tools for sale. The
amateur gardener IL often tempted to
purchase larger number Of tools than
Is justified by the results obtained In
q small garden. The three most es-
sential tools recommended by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture are a spade or spadlng fork, a
hoe. and a rake. The question as to
whether a spade or spading fork
should be purchased will depend upon
the character Of the soil. II the soil

corner OF the regular hoe. A rake r.
needed for pulverizIng the soil. and
here again the plainest and simplest
type OF steel rake Is best.
In selecting any OF these tools the
quality OF the material In the blade or
metal part and good, straight
grained, smooth handle are the es-
sentials. To these tools the gardener
can easily add few simple implements
Of his own manufacture. These may
consist OF a couple OF wooden stakes

board and little scratcher made by
