Der 81, 1881, the national bank gave
the State bank credit for S500.00O on
its books, showing this amount due
to and from the State institution, and
the State bank set up corresponding
entries increasing its cash and due
from banks S500.000).
mo cash was involved in the trans
actions, the entries were purely fig
ticious on the part of both banks,
and said entries reversed on January
S, 1882, hence 1t can readily be seen
that such untrue statements are de-
ceiving."
After session yesterday that lasted
until after nightfan there were un-
confirmed rumors that the committee
would report against the inquiry.
The committee received yesterday
from Farley a denial of all new
charges Long recently filed against
him, including one that the Postmaster
General intervened in the American
National Bank of Nashville case.
Davis, meanwhile, told reporters
there was mot one word of truth in
the charge as it related to me-"
Farley made public his letter to
Chairman McKellar of the Senate
Committee, saying most of Longs
charges were simply "restatement
Of the reckless insinuations previously
made"
