at the time, adding that his subordi-
mates hadn't reminded him.
When they didn't remind me, things
didn't get DONE" he said.
Admits Carelessness.
That was not good banking, was
it?" Rover queried.
Careless" Hayes conceded.
wouldn't you call 1t atrocious?"
Rover continued.
mo, 1 don't like that word" the
witness responded
Haynes said that the note for $25, 900
represented funds used to aid Mrs.
Louise T. Chambers and that he had
expected to be reimbursed by her, but
was not. None of the notes were ever
paid
Rover also brought out that Haynes
had allowed Mrs. Chambers to borrow
when the legal limit was $4,000, by
using the name of her son, Fred, with
herself as agent" to negotiate the
notes. Haynes admitted that this was
"a subterfuge suggested by me to
please her." but said he had felt that
the credit was good.
The prosecutor asserted that Haynes
knew this was against the law, but the
banker said he was not conscious Of
the TACT that law was being violated
Knew the Law.
You knew that there was a law, or
controllers rule, or something, not to
let loan exceed 10 per cent of the
surplus and capital Of the bank" Rover
emphasized.
That was conceded by the witness
,, rover was attempting to make
Haynes answer directly whether he
thought it was good banking" or
proper" for the president of a bank to
nave habitual overdrafts.''
Haynes insisted that the question
could not be answered by a yes or no:
and as Rover insisted, and the witness
continued to defend his position, both
men were raising their voices and try
ing to talk at the same time
Finally Haynes said, That record
shows I did not take care Of my af-
fairs as well as should"
Rover tried to account for some of
the overdrafts in June, 1928, to the
fact that Haynes was away at a bank
ers' convention. :
The banker said there was no call
for money at these gatherings. as the
expenses were cared for and that the
only extra convention activities were
golf and so forth"
Extravaganza Charged.
"It's the so forth I'm talking about"
Rover shot back.
There was a liberal abundance OF
so forth around and no occasion to
spend money for it," Haynes said.
I'm not talking about liquor" Rover
snapped, "how about card games?"
"Mr. Rover" Haynes said, 1--WE
been accused Of lots of things, but one
thing have never done Is to play
cards for money"
Rover, commenting on the fact that
Haynes had said his income was the
$4,000 he received from the bank, de-
clared the banker was trying to live
beyond his means.
Haynes emphatically denied this.
Rover wanted to know If Haynes
had any idea as to his individual stock
transactions with W. B. Hibbs & Co.
The witness said he could not even
guess.
Rover asked If he would be "sur-
prised" to know that they ran around
$1.300.00o.
"They might have been 100000"
Haynes said.

Washington police today were searching
for the man, who Is wanted by Penn

credit the theory that Frailey whose
clothing and note to his mother were
found on the bank of the Tidal Basin
yesterday afternoon, ended his life by
jumping into the Potomac River.
Frailey Is one of three men who were
reported drowned here yesterday. The
body of one, Louis Balint. jr., %, of

swimming in the Washington Channel,
was recovered late yesterday afternoon,
while the third man returned home
early today.
- Suicide Note Unexplained.
The latter is John Franklin, 71-year-
old contractor, who lived at COB street,
whose temperance set at rest the fears
of relatives that he had ended his life.
No explanation was given for his dis
appearance or a note indicating suicide,
which was found with his coat on the
north rim of the Tidal Basin.

Nor was he able to say why notes
for $4,000 and $500 had not been
properly recorded.
Rover suggested that perhaps Haynes
was trying to conceal his financial con-
dition from the directors Of the bank.
"I was not afraid of the board of
directors not approving my loans"
Haynes said, adding that they did give
their approval to these loans when they
were included with others aggregating
$50.300.
