SMITHS TRIAL
IS Continued
UNTIL MONDAY
Legal Arguments Mark
First Day of Former
Treasurer's Trial.

Three witnesses were called to
the stand and number of docu
ments were entered in evidence yes
terday afternoon in the trial of
Walter d. Smith, former treasurer
Of the city Of Imperial, in superior
court, department two, on charges
of embezzlement. At the close of
the session yesterday afternoon the
jury was excused by Judge Finney
until Monday morning when the
case will be resumed.
All evidence submitted yesterday
through witnesses for the prosecu-
ton was given IN an effort to iden.
tifv the monies which Smith is al
legged TO have converted to his own
use.
Leila Foster, city clerk, was first
on the stand. She testified to the
nature of her duties which included
the segregation of monies into Ger
tain funds. While this money was
turned over to Smith and the city
clerk said that she had nothing to
do with it after it reached Smith 8
hands, she showed through receipts
introduced that the money had been
given Smith and was supposed to
have been allotted into amounts
placed in certain funds.
Judge c. II. Hawkins was then
called to the stand and testified to
having turned over $342 which he
had collected. This money was
traced through the city clerk $
hands to Smith, the amount being
given in the form Of a check. The
receipts then showed that portions
of it were allotted to certain funds.
Banker On Stand
r. H. Ramsey, vice-president Of
the Farmers and Merchant s Bank
was next called to the stand. Pages
from the banks ledger were intro.
dueed into evidence showing two
accounts conducted by Smith. These
accounts showed that on August l.,
1926 there was 90 cents in one Of
these accounts. A deposit o t
Sl00.s3 was made and on August 3
withdrawal of $92. .46 was shown.
This is the amount which Smith is
alleged to have converted to his own
use.
The account then shows the de-
posit Of $342 which it was sought by
the prosecution to show, was de-
posted by the check given by Judge
Hawkins. The next entry in the
book is withdrawal Of $2lS.46, the
other amount alleged to have been
embezzled by Smith.
Many legal arguments arose dur
ing the afternoon session. The pros
ecution sought to enter only portions
of the pages of the bank ledger in
evidence but the court ruled that
the entire account must be entered.
upon objection of defense counsel.
Edgar B. Hervey is attorney for
the defense while Edward B. Law

HAYS URGED AS
MODERATOR OF
PRESBYTERIANS
by United Press Leased Wire

san FRANCISCO, May 90
With two thousand Presbyterians
already here for the general assem-
bly,, May 26 to June !, campaigns
for the moderatorship, the highest
office in the church in the United
States, were under way today.
DR.. Robert E. Speer, New York,
secretary of the board Of foreign
missions, is generally regarded as
tho favorite, but it is regarded
quite likely that he will decline the
honor to continue his missionary
work.
Other candidates in order of their
apparent strength are: DR.. John
f. Bushnell, Westminster Presbyter
ian church of Minneapolis: DR.. Al
vim f. Magary, Detroit; DR.. Hugh
X. Walker, Los Angeles; DR.. George
l.. Robinson Of Mccormick seminary
Chicago, and j. Willison Smith,
layman, of Philadelphia.
A group is urging the election of
VIII II. Hays, former postmaster
general, to the office, but it is con-
sidered unlikely that Hayes could
devote the time to the work because
of his duties as president of the
Motion Picture Producers and Dis.

absorbed the Julian company.
The move was taken to protect
stockholders of the California East
