He urged the men to shake off the Sunday morning sluggish habit and to at- tend church. He told the men that if they are anxious to do something for. the benefit of the church, all they have to do is to visit their rec tors. They can prescribe. He stated that he could not tell the men the things they might do if they were anxious to help. It would take all night, he stated.

CLASH
IN COLORADO
TRIAL

COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 6.-(AP)
While little evidence of an important
nature was introduced, the trial of
Walter v Escher, president of the de-
funct Capitol Hill State bank of Den
yer, on charges of embezzlement of
100000 in stock from the Standard
Securities and, Investment companq, to-
day opened in district court before
Judge Arthur Cornforth, featuring
spirited clashes between two of Colo
radios most brilliant lawyers.
Most of the morning and part of the
afternoon sessions were used in en-
paneling a jury, and the opposing law
yers were occupied until o'clock this
afternoon with their opening state
ments.
Foster Cline, district attorney Of
Denver, outlined his case, in which he
said that the state would show that
the Standard Securities company was
a group organized for the purpose
among others, of gaining control of the
Capitol Hill Sbank, and that it was a
zone man group" dominated by Escher
who appropriated most Of the stocks
and securities of that organization.
S. Harrison White, former chief JUS
tice of Colorado, declared that the de-
Tense would prove that the records OF
the Standard Securities We're stolen on
December g. 1925, and that there was
no embezzlement as charged.
Three witnesses were called, but such
testimony as they gave was so inter-
spersed by objections and verbal battles
between the two chief attorneys that
little headway was made.
G. NJ. Collins, Denver accountant, tes-
titled that he Was one of the directors
of the corporation and eventually ris-
ing to the office of treasurer. That
office, however, he declared was not
remunerative to him.
Charles II. Pigge, also of Denver
took the stand to tell how he had pur-
chased sufficient stock to become q
director but that he had never receiV-
ed any notification of meetings of the
board as far as he could remember. He
was questioned at length on the
amount he had invested in the company
answering that he had purchased $6,-
