"I said we would like to have some arrangement for getting the money." Brown testified. "I told the Governor we were anxious about the certificates I of deposit. He told us he had them at home in his portfolio and would bring ' them down In the morning." Notes Are Received Brown said ghat the next morning he and Grant went to the Governor’s j office and asked for the certificates 1 He said that. Instead of giving them | the certificates, the Governor banded them two notes. He suid the Governor Insisted the notes were just as good as certificates of deposit. Brown testified that both he and Grant repeated their demand for the certificates. The Governor replied, Brown said, that the board should hold the notes and that he would get the certificates for them. “Did he ever produce the certificates?” Inman asked. “No, sir,” was the reply. “Did you again talk to the Governor about certificates of deposit?" "Yes, sir; several times. The Governor always promised to get the certificates.” Brown said he finally turned the Governor's notes and collateral notes given the board by the Governor over to the National City Bank, for the "Goodrich pool." "Did you make any investigation to find out whether the collateral notes were good?" Inman asked. "Y'es, sir," Brown answered. "Did you ascretain whether some of them were forgeries?” Question Ruled Out On objection of the defense, the witness was not permitted to answer this question. “Did you afterward come Into possession of one of the notes?” Inman continued his questioning. "Yes, sir,’ the witness replied. "From whom did you get It?” "From Roy Sahm, secretary of the State Havings and Trust Company.’’ Inman then showed Brown a. note which Brown testified was in McCray’s handwriting. He said it was cne of the notes that McCray had given the agriculture boaxd as collateral. He said he had taken the note to the State Savings and Trust Company for collection and that it had boon returned to him without being oljpcted Ke said he later turned the note over to Ross Wallace, president of the Aetna Trust Company.

K Herrlman <fc CY>." and Indorsed jby McCray The note, dated March 10, 1922, was for 7 per cent Interest. According to the story told by Brown ort the stand Friday afternoon, the money, which was turned over to the Governor In six checks on five occasions, from June 2 to July 18, 11)23, was Intended for deposits and loans to the Discount and Deposit Bank of Kentland. of which Governor McCray was president, and not as personal loans to the Governor, as Is contended by the defense All checks were made payable to the bank. Undoubtedly Brown will he subjected to a grilling cross examination by Governor McCray’s attorneys Contradictions. Attorneys Say While he was testifying they had before them a transcript of his testimony in the McCray bankruptcy proceedings in Federal Court. After adjournment they said there were contradictions In his testimony which would be gone into at length. According to Brown, the Governor received 12t>,000 June 2 and $25,000 •Tunc 8, for deposit In the Kentland Rank. On June 11 he receiver. 850,000, In two cheeks, for which he gave per- i scnal security, although he said the I money was for the bank. Brown test!- j fled Brown testified also that June j 27 the Governor asked for and re I reived another $25,000 for a "shorttime loan" for the hank. When court adjourned, he had not testified regarding the last check for $30,000, turned over to the Governor. Board Explained Brown, who was examined by Eph Inman, assistant special prosecutor, explained the organization of the ag rlcultural hoard, saying that it was composed of sixteen members, and that its affairs were handled largely by a finance and an executive committee. At the time of the transactions with the Governor, Harry Moberly was president, and the finance committee was composed of Moberly, Thomas Grant. William M. Jones, G. R. Kemper and himself. About $973,000, proceeds of a $1,000,000 bond issue, were paid In to the board May 29, 1923. Brown said. The Governor was interested In distribution of the funds to hanks, Brown said, and gave him a slip of paper bearing names of banks he wished to be given funds. On this list was the Discount and Deposit Bank. “When did you next see the Governor?” Inman asked. "Certificates Promised “A few’ days later, when I took the check for $26,000 to his office,” Brown replied. "I gave him the check for his bank and said we would expect a certificate of deposit. He said he would see we got it." Nothing was said, he testified, as to this being a loan. About June 6, he said, McCray asked for another $25,000 for his bank. A check for the amount was turned over to the Governor June 8. he said. The Governor said he would get a certificate of deposit and have it sent in to the board.

M’Cray Trial Sidelights

Proper ventilation of Criminal Court room has proved a hopeless problem during the trial of Governor McCray, but vain efforts to hit a proper combination of fresh air and warmth janitors and bailiffs raise and shut windows and turn radiators on and off dozens of times daily. * * * An obstieperous radiator in the rear of the room has been guilty of contempt of court continuously. Just let attorneys get in a weighty legal argument or the judge start to propound some law and the radiator is almost certain to butt In with an imitation of a drum corps or an explosion in a boiler factory. * * * Judge Chamberlin has proved a pateint. long-suffering Judge. He has posed for photographs, permitted newspaper camera men to take flashlights in the room, and has made every effort to be as accommodating ac possible. * • The jury is “sitting rosy” with sleeping quarters In a large sample room on a high-up floor at the Washington. For years juries have expressed utmost dissatisfaction with accommodations at the courthouse, but this time no complaints have emanated from the “twelve good men and true.” • • • According to court attaches and Indianapolis lawyers who look in on the trial iDo jury appears to be one of the best ever seen in Criminal Court. Politicians, State and countty officials and persons seen about every politu-fU gathering are much in evidence at the trial. For the greater part they slip in unobtrusively, stand In the back of the room and seem to have little desire for the generally popular limelight.

FOURTEEN-YEAR FIGHT FOR JOB EARNSREWARD But Charles G. Kehser Doesn't Know Whether He Wants It Back or Not, After fourteen years of struggle for reinstatement in the postal service the efforts of Charles G. Keiser, 612 Hamilton Ave. were rewarded today when he received a telegram from Washington, saying President Cool idge had signed an executive order for reinstatement. “Now that I’ve got it T don’t "know whether I want the job baric or not.” said Keiser. In 1910, during a factional fight In the postoffice. Keiser and a number of other veteran employes were discharged from service without hearing and without explanation. He had then been in continuous service for eighteen years. ........ Keiser began a battle for reinstatement. A petition signed by several hundred leading citizens was presented to the postoffice department in his behalf. It was four years before he got a hearing at the hands of a postal commission through the efforts of Robert E. Springsteen, then postmaster. The commission after a lengthy investigation recommended his reinstatement and completely vindicated him. However, nothing was done by Washington authorities. Again in 1921 Will H. Hays, then Postmaster General, directed the chief postoffice inspector to make another report. The investigation was made by John H. Welborn and the report of the postal commission of 1914 was confirmed. Keiser is in charge of the interstate commercial survey for the Interstate Public Service-Company.
