BANK SEEKING
10 GET BONDS
FROM DISTRICT
Suit Filed In Superior
Court by Superintendent
of Banking.

A civil action was filed at the
county clerk s office this morning
by viii c. Wood as superintendent
Of the banks of the state of Califor-
MIA and as trustee in charge of the
Farmers and Merchant s Bank of
Imperial, under liquidation, against
the Imperial Irrigation district.
Through the action the plaintiff
seeks to recover bonds valued at
$51 ,062.50 or the equivalent in cash,
claiming that the district is unlaw-
fully Withholding possession of the
bonds.
The complaint points out that the
defendant at the time the bank was
closed by the plaintiff, had on de-
posit in the bank 81, 3,254.27 in one
account and $4,000 in a second ac-
count. 1t further goes on to say
that the cashier of the bank, with
out proper authority gave into the
hands of the Irrigation District GER
tain bonds, the property of the bank
valued at $51 ,062.50 and that the
district was to hold these as secur-
itv for the money on deposit.
The plaintiff holds that this was
irregular and that the cashier did
not have authority to turn the
bonds over to the district. While
admitting that the bank is indebt
ed to the district in the sum of
$53,254.61, the plaintiff asks that
the bonds be returned by order OF
the court.

SLAYER OF TWO
SONS IN STATE
OF COLLAPSE

EAST CHICAGO, Ind, March 5.
George Allen Chisholm collapsed on
the witness stand this afternoon
when he started to tell coroner's
jury of the drowning of his two sons
and was unable 20 answer questions
Chisholm, Canadian World Wal
veteran, was to appear before Spe.
cial City Judge William j. Murray.
1t was expected he would waive
hearing and be bound over to Lake
county criminal court grand jury,
now in session.
In signed statement, the second
made by Chisholm since he was ar
rested Saturday, the father confess
ed he bound wire around the waists
of his two sons, George, 9, and Ed
gar, 6, weighted each wire with a
heavy steel rail, then pushed the
two youths into a ship canal at In
diana Harbor, East Chicago.
Chisholm said the murders were
committed February 6. The body
of George was found floating in the
canal February %. Edgar's body
was recovered eight days later. The
two bodies were identified Saturday
morning by nine year old Robert
Chisholm, twin brother of George.
The father was arrested a few hours
later.
Woman Not Involved
Mrs. Helen Lorenz, SO, divorced
mother of three children, with
whom Chisholm made his home, was
arrested and held on $4,000 bond as
a material witness. She was not
implicated in either of Chisholm g
confessions.
In his first confession Chisholm
said he had persuaded the two boys
to jump into the water. Continued
questioning, however, brought the
admission that he pushed the boys
into the water.
The father said the younger
youth, apparently aware that his ia
ther intended to throw him into the
water after his brother tried to es-
cape, but was held by the weight of
the rail.
edgar screamed as I threw him
in,' Chisholm said.
Chisholm told police he had orig
inally intended to kill young "Bob-
by,n Georges twin.

long because he began asking ques-
tions when I told him to get dress
