GIVE TESTIMONY IN FRAUD TRIAL Two Men On Trial In Fort Wayne Federal Court For Conspiracy Fort Wayne, Jan. 5.—U. S. ■ Attorney James R. Fleming was to : place more of liis 44 witnesses,on; the stand in district court today as the trial of Heber Alton Beeson lof Columbia City and Elmer F. I , Hars.-h of Warsaw on charges of ; conspiracy to misapply funds of ; the closed Columbia State Bank at i Columbia City entered its second I day. Impaneling of a jury and open- , ing statements of opposing coun- : sei occupied so much time yesteri day that only three witnesses test!- ■ tied. R. E. Ruland, district examiner i for the Federal deposit insurance I corporation, who examined the j bank in October 1935, said he ques- ' tioned Beeson at the time as to why he accepted notes for the Con- ! solidated Motors Corporation, Lima, O„ without approval of the bank's I board of directors. Beeson. Ruland testified, replied that he, personally, would assume full responsibility for $89,000 worth |of the notes and said they were ’ good. C. A. Eberhart, former first cashier of the bank, then testified that in September, 1935, Beeson approached him and requested tha* the notes accepted during that month not be read at the imminent board meeting. The third witness, R. V. Brumbaugh, second assistant cashier, identified notes, explained operating customs of the bank, and ideni titled handwriting in the discount ’ ledger. He said the bank possessled financial reports of each indiI vidual signing the notes in quesi tion. District Attorney James R. Flem- ' ing, in his opening statement, charged that Consolidated Motors “never had any assets of importance . . . existed almost wholly in . . . the imagination of the defend- , ant Harsch. Fleming added that I the signers of the notes instrumental in the failure of the bank were men of "no financial responsibility and the defendants knew it.” In reply, defense counsel conced--led “over exuberance” and admitted tjiat Beeson may not have been

! •‘meticulous’’ In his entries, but denied any Intent to defraud, and I claimed the purpose of Consolidat-1 ed Motors was to develop a motor! and manufacture it in Columbia City and Lima, 0., factories.

The indictment against Isch was , brought by the grand jury as an , aftermath of an auto accident at [ the Aumaji bridge near Monmouth , when lech allegedly drove onto the bridge in a reckless manner, crashing Into an auto driven by S. A. Elliott, of Fort Wayne. The accident occurred on October 28. ! 1936. t The indictment against Sheets, charging him with taking an auto without the owner's permission, followed aji intensive manhunt conducted 'by sheriffs and police ' authorities of several counties, aided by state police on November 21, 1936. when Sheets drove away a delivery truck belonging to the Mutsehler Meat Market, of this ! cit FAccident Injures Eight The accident from which arose the charges against Huffman, in- ; jured eight persons, sending them . ail to the hospital, one thought at , first to be fatally hurt.

I Several witnesses were called before the jurors while they were in session to learn the circumstances of the crash, including a proprietor of a beer garden near the state line. , The charge against Steiner followed a, crash on November 23 on federal road 27, three and one-half miles north of Berne.

DeiVoss, November 24. he plead not guilty and was released on a |WO recognizance bond. 75th CONGRESS (CONTINUED FROM j inson of Arkansas then submitted l a resolution for appointment of i two senators (the majority leader! and minority leader Charles Me-! Nary) to notify the President I that the chamber was in session and ready to receive any communication he “may ibe pleased to make.’’ Another resolution was passed informing the house of represents-1 tlvea that the senate wa,s in session and "ready to proceed to business." A third resolution was accepted setting the daily hour for meeting jof the senate at noon “unless | otherwise ordered.” Called To Order i Washington, Jan. 5 —<U.R> —The overwhelmingly Democratic new house of representatives jammed into the house chamber today and was called to order at noon by elderly South Trimble, clerk of the house. Prepared for debate of the second "new deal" in the 75th congress were 332 house Democrats, 89 Republicans, and 13 third party members, the latter segregated 'along the middle aisle. In the galleries sat diplomatic * representatives, administration of-1 ficials and hundreds of plain citizens to witness the opening of a session expected to battle over supreme court powers, NRA substitutes and reform and recovery proposals involving inflation, neu- j trality and economy plans. Os the representatives, 95 were I uewiy elected. Os the new members 89 were "freshmen." The other six had served in previous sessions. Rep. William B. Bankhead, D., Ala., picked for re-election ae speaker of the house, and Rep. Sam Rayburn, D., Tex., new Demo- ' cratic floor leader, conferred before the first session began. New cushioned seats and ivory redecorated walls greeted the 1 membership. In the corridors ' temporary fences held back the ! overflow of curious anxious for j gallery seats. A 31-point program of formali- ! ties was on the house calendar ' for the day. Most important was I the impressive swearing in of the | house members for the new congress, due to follow formal organization of the house with Speaker j Bankhead, father of Tallulah Bankhead, in the chart. Rayburn, new Democratic lead-1 I er. was a prominent figure. Elect-' ed at a heated caucus session yesterday over Rep. John J. O'Connor, red Leaded New York Democrat, Rayburn now holds one of the most significant administration posts in congress. When the legislative fights commence the bald headed Texan will be responsible for party harmony and party victories in the house. o Trade ,n a Good Town — Deeatui
