Orris Lytle Testifies Cicero Banker Promised to Give a Bond to Insure Deposit.

“DROPPED THE ENTIRE WAD”

Elias Noble, Smiling Over His Loss as Stockholder, Says President Never Mentioned the Lytle Bond.

[SpBolftl U> The Indiana poll* New*] NOBL.ESVILLE, Ind., July 14.-In the trial of R. H. Metcalf, charged with receiving a deposit In the Farmers and Merchants Bank, of Cicero, when he knew, as president, the bank was insolvent, Orris Lytle, who deposited the check that resulted In the Indictment of Metcalf, told the Jury today that Metcalf said the bank was solvent, that It was making money, and that all the sureties of the concern had been approved by the

auditor of state.

This Information came to him from the defendant flve days before the Institution was closed, Lytle said. Lytle also said he Insisted on a bond from the bank as security for the deposit of 16,700. and Metcalf promised to supply a personal bond later. Lytle told the Jury Metcalf said

he had presented the matter to the direc ■ ■

c-omptaijr

tors antMlhey decided to give a surety

bona.

Noble, Vincent Case and H. E. Morris, directors In the bank, testified that the defendant never mentioned the

Lytle bond matter to them.

“Dropped the Entire Wad.” Morris, Noble and Case were new stockholders In the reorganization ef the bank four months before It failed. They admitted buying the stock largely on the strength of what Metcalf said concerning

the standing of the bank.

‘T only had a few thousand dollars spare money, and I concluded I would make the Investment,” Noble told the Jury. “1 bought the stock of Metcalf and dropped the entire wad,” he said, smiling, and the Jury and court officials smiled with him. James Bishop and Charles Lockwood, farmers, were among witnesses for the state. H Bishop testfled that Lockwood had his note for 646, which became due In June, 1914, and left It at the Cicero bank for collection. May 28, Bishop sent a check to the bank to pay the note, be said, and Lockwood, although he called at the bank two or three times in July and August, never was able to get the money. Lock wood spoke to him about the matter, Bishop testified, and he told Lockwood he paid the note by check. ■■ In November, Bishop and Lockwood met by agreement and called at tbe bank to straighten out the matter. Both said Met calf eventually found the check. It was covered with dust and looked as if it had been thrown to one side and lost On cross-examination. Lockwood said he did not owe the bank 646, and that the bank could not have held Bishop’s check

to settle Lockwood’s account. Mixup Over a Check.

Andy Jenson, of Cicero, told the Jury he sent a check for 6300 on the Cicero bank to the Gray Motor Company in Michigan, and It was returned to him. The witness said he asked Metcalf for an explanation, and the defendant said he would take the matter Up with the Michigan bank. Jenson had more than enough money on deposit to take care of the check. The remainder of the morning sension of court was taken up with the testimony of John C. Craig, receiver for the bank, who told in detail what came Into his possession when he took charge of the bank. He enumerated what the state asserts were worthless as seta to the amount of 6116,900, including notes of J. L. and E. Hinshaw to the amount of 638.000, notes of Metcalf and his relatives, several bonds of the Long Prairie Plantation Company, the Egyptian Heat and Tower Company, the OTney Bottle Company and the Sumner Gas and Oil Company, all Hinshaw concerns that

since have failed.

"One way tbe machines hive of keeping the players guessing anfl excited,” ■aid Yount, “is due to notches in the wheels that prevent a certain color standing after the wheel has apparently rolled to that color.

Former Judge Leflier, now of the prosecution, used to be known as Black Joe. because of his raven “tresses" and his swarthy complexion, but the hair is now silvering. To give all the other attorneys actively engaged ^ln the trial a square deal and place their names in the hall of fame these are suggested so there may be no hard feelings: Terrible Thompson, for William A. Thompson, whose tongue is as sharp and his vlt as keen as ft two-edged sword; Worryless Walter, for Attorney Ball, whose bland smile amid all the trouble and discord about him la worth going miles to see: Oratorical O’Neill, or Philosophical Phil, for Philip O’Neill: Merciless McPhee for John McPhee, who, like the villain, still pursues them, and Harassing Harry for Harry Long, whose arguments cause the state s lawyers much worry and whose verbal blade knows no brother. It is very warm in the courtroom. The big leather upholstered reclining chairs in which the Jurors sit are very comfortable, and Phil O’NelH’s voice la like that of a singing bird when he cares to use its honeyed tones In cajoling a reluctant witness That voice in aeuon, as it is so much of the time, is & lullaby in itself, and the combination of circumstances has caused two Jurors thus far to dose off into the land of dreams. Judge Blair does not like courtroom demonstrations and Is quick his gavel at the least approach to one. Once he threatened to clear the room if there were any repetition of a disturbance. Uncle Dave Sloniker, the court bailiff, la the same Unde Dave who three years ago. during the Doris Underwood trial, had so much difficulty in restraining the crowds that desired to express their sym-

pathy for the young girl defendant, and where he attained fame as the inventor of the “noiseless handshake.” Mr. Sloniker made himself famous during that trial by his speech after the jury had found a verdict of acquittal, and while the judge was waiting to read it. Uncle Dave ftvtdentiy had a “hunch” as to what

It would be and warned the crowd against a demonstration of any kind, but when the verdict was read, the audience rose as one man and one woman and one child and swept toward Miss Underwood, shouting frantically and cheering. Uncle Dave, however, did not for a moment flinch nor forget the dignity of the court, even though overwhelmed by numbers, and pounding loudly with his gavel Shouted, Well, I guess you may shake hands with her, but don't make any noise about it.” JOHN BAKER IS FINED $25.
