GUILT
THEORY GIVEN
AT COIN TRIAL
Bank Acted as Angel to
Cover InSoIvenCieS, Says
MattiCe.

This bank was playing angel to
failing realty companies in order to
keep their heads above water!"
laundering in Stentorian tones
Floyd Mattice chief deputy prose-
cutor, today expounded at the re-
quest of Special Judge Alexander
Cavins his theory of guilt" in the
embezzlement trial of Melville S.
Cohn, vice president of the defunct
Meyer-Kiser bank, on a charge of
embezzlement
The request of the judge came
as a legal battle ensued for the
second day over the admission of
certain state exhibits.
The legal impaSse was reached as
Mr.. Mattice attempted to introduce
a collection account book of the
Meyer Kiser bank in its entirety.
Judge Cavins had admitted parts
referring to the Frailich Realty
Company, which figures largely in
Mr.. COINS indictment.
Question Held Crucial
Il want you to tell your whole
theory of guilt, Mr.. Mattice," said
Judge Cavins. This is the crucial
question in this trial.
1T is relevant to prove all other
transactions in establishing a con-
spiracy," asserted Mr.. Mattice.
Citing Indiana supreme court
cases he concluded with, But this
banks policy was to sustain failing
realty companies by paying divi-
dends so stockholders would not as
certain the true condition of the re-
atty companies"
Judge Cavins withheld definite
ruling on the admission of the ex-
hibit.
Accountant Testif1es
IF Mr.. Mattice can show founda-
ton and sufficient evidence for his
charges so that I can admit in evil
dence all transactions, then l will, 4"
said Judge Cavins as court ad-
journed until 1870 p. m.
Practically the entire morning was
spent in arguments of opposing
counsel. The jury spent the session
smoking in its ante-room.
Chris H. Cartheuser, former en-
ploye of the accounting department
of the old Fletcher American Ma
tional bank, testified briefly to
dividend checks deposit and the
withdrawal of the money by Albert
Blue, a stakeholder of the realty
company.
Deadlock Delays Case
The legal deadlock seemingly
ended the possibility that the state
would rest its case today.
Painter, a certified public &C
countant, was on the witness stand
this morning when the trial re-
sumed.
Despite a judicial setback yester-
day, when vital sections of a circuit
court transcript of testimony by
Ferdinand S. Meyer, another Meyer
Kiser e-president, were barred
from evidence, Mr.. Mattice hoped
that the states case against Mr..
Cohn might be completed today.
Mr.. Cohn is charged with embez-
cling $3.50 in bank funds to pay a
dividend to a preferred stakeholder
Of the Frailich Realty Company,
Gary, whose preferred stock issue
had been UNDERWATER by the
Meyer-Kiser bank.
Mr. Mattice attempted to intro
duce the transcript of the testimony
by Mr.. Meyer taken by Miss Al
berta Smith, court reporter for Cir
cult Judge Earl r. Cox, in hearing
held last year by the banks re-
ceiver, Thomas Garvin.
