Omcials and depositors of Montgomery
County banks alike were awaiting to-
night with keen interest some word a.
the steps which will be taken by State
officials for their protection in the
banking crisis which today closed the
doors Of almost every bank and fnan-
cial institution In Maryland.
Although they have accepted without
alarm the situation which forced the
proclaiming Of a three day "bank holi-
day." both groups are eager to learn
in what manner they will be affected
by the legislation which the State As
Sembly will be asked to enact for their
mutual proceedings.
1t has been learned from sources close
to the State administration that the
proposed measures, which are scheduled
to be announced to the public in Balti-
more late tomorrow, will temporarily
limit Withdrawals to the actual needs
of depositors for business and living

ment to any Of the banks OF the State. 4"
Without exception officials of the II
banks In this county firmly declare
that their institutions are in q sound
financial condition and asserted that
there has been no unusually heavy
Withdrawals by depositors.
They added that it was the with
drawal of $13,000,0 GOO from Baltimore
banks this week, and not Withdrawals
from banks in the counties. that led
Gov Albert c. Ritchie to proclaim the
three day holiday after his con-
ference with bankers and State OH
cials in Baltimore last night.
1t was said by the county bankers
that their patrons have calmly ac-
cepted the situation and the holiday
has occaSioned no alarm In Montgom-
cry. Bank employees were kept busy
answering telephone calls today, but
/ the calls were made for the sole pur-
pose Of obtaining information addi-
tional to that carried In the news

= MARKS TRIAL
Of MITCHELL

NEW YORK, May Is G.N.SO.
A dull, statistical session of the in
come tax evasion trial of Charles
E. Mitchell, former head of the
National City Bank, was enlivened
today by vitriolic exchange of
accusations between United States
Attorney George 2. Medalie and
Defense Counsel Max D. Steur.
The brush occurred during the
examination of Daniel T. Bergin,
office manager for the brokerage
firm of HornbloWer and Weeks,
regarding the alleged sale and re
purchase of $500 shares of Ana
conda stock by Mitchell from w.
D. Thornton, president of the
Greene-Cananea Copper Company,
which the Government charges
was a sham" transaction. Steuer
shouted:
"There isn't anything the
United States Attorney wouldn't
do to accomplish his desired
results"
Medalie shouted his retort:
THAT is untrue"
Medalle was trying to show that
the stock was repurchased from
Thornton on May 4, 1881. bv
Mitchell. Steuer contended that
the witness could not testify that
Thornton actually sold the stock
to Mitchell"
However, Medalie succeeded in
bringing out through the witness
that Thornton sold $500 shares
on that date for 263s and that
Mitchell purchased the same
amount at the same price.
Among those attending the
trial as spectators were Louis j.
Schneider, prosecuting attorney
OF Cincinnati; his assistant.
Simon Leis; and two Cincinnati
lawyers, Edward S. Morrissey and
Charles H. ElSton. ElSton de-
tended George Remus, notorious
bootlegger, at his murder trial
several years ago. Schneider
prosecuted Nal Dougherty, brother
OF former United States Attorney
General Harry S. Dougherty.
