OTHERS DREW. WITNESS SAYS

Prana Case May se May Go to Jury : . Tomorrow; One Witness - Remaining.

Ralph S. Phillips, one of five de-

fendants in an alleged million-dollar | °

mail fraud case, told a Federal Court jury that many of the papers he ‘signed as secretary-treasurer of

‘the Mineral Felt Co. were prepared and handed to him by fther officials of the firm. The defendants in thee trial, which may go to the jury. tomorrow, all "are officers of the er orl of its Credit Corp. of Winchester, or of its alleged - subsidiaries. Mr. Phillips was ta be followed on the witness stand by Russell E. Wise, who will be the last of the defendants to testify. Mr. Wise was counsel and later receiver for Con- ~ tinental. © Kenneth P. Kimball, Kim-Murph Co. president, and John W. Moore Sr., Continental president, completed their testimony yesterday, while the fifth defendant, John |W. Moore Jr., Continental secretarytreasurer, rested his case earlier.

Sold Encumbered Beans

In his testimony yesterday, Mr. Kimball told the jury he had sold

beans from Kim-Murph Co. warehouses although the beans were being used as collateral on warehouse receipts. The sales were made, he said, to cover checks issued to farmers in payment for the beans. Mr. Kimball said { he made ithe sales with the expectation Continental would send him {the receipts as they had in the pas when he sold beans, but that they failed to do so. He explained that he considered all elevators of the Kim-Murph Co. as “under one roof” and added that ‘he did not consider /it a “removal” in selling beans held as collateral when they could be made up from another elevator. § At the time of the receivership, he told the jury, Kim-Murph owed more than $70,000 in notes. Until the receivership, he added, no checks of the Kim- -Murph Co. ever were protested. i

Reached Its Peak

Whenever he indorsed warehouse receipts, he stated, he always asked whether there were beans in [the warehouse to be used as collateral. To his knowledge, he said he never issued receipts without collateral back of them. Late in January, 1937, he said, the bean crop reached its peak. It was at that time, he stated, that more more than $245,000! worth of notes, backed by warehouse receipts, were outstanding. At this time, he said, he found that Kim-Murph notes were being rediscounted. When he complained, He © testified, Mr. Moore Sr. told hinf not td worry and that Continental would | | take care of all ‘the notes.

Made Money Each Month

Other than with Mr. Moore Sr. and his/own local banks, Mr. Kimball stated, he never discounted notes or Warehouse receipts with anyone. | . In his opening testimony he stated that after Mr. Moore Sr. took over the Kim-Murph Co. until the receivership, his firm made money each month, In his final testimony, Mr. Moore Sr. said on cross-examination that on March 16, 1935, he filed a petition for | personal bankruptcy at Buffalo, N. Y. t that time, he said, he listed more than $677,000 as liabilities and -about $200 assets. He was not sure of the $200 figure, he told the jury, buf believed it to be correct.

WORKMAN ESTATE VALUED AT $30,000

The estate of William I. N. Workman, Indianapolis Toilet & Apron Supply Co. president, who died Dec. 12, was set at $30,000, according to his will filed today in Probate Court. His wife, Mrs, Nellie F. Workman, was made soie beneficiary. |
