Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 36, Number 117, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 October 1904 — WHITE’S INDICTMENTS QUASH-Ed. [ARTICLE]

WHITE’S INDICTMENTS QUASHEd.

The arguments on the two in* diotments against Walter M White, as assistant cashier of the failed MoCoy bank, were completed last Friday forenoon before Ed Uhl, of Monticello, as special judge. The hearing was on a motion to quash the indictments, and the court sustained the motion. While in his finding he mentioned some slight flaws in the wording of the indictments, the chief point of his decision was that he did not believe it possible to draw up an indictment that would hold against an officer of a banking company unless he was a member of the firm. This decision frees Mr. White from all pending charges, and it is very unlikely that any further attempts will be made to prosecute him, The decision in his case will have no bearing on the MoCoy oases, nor furnish any indication as to the fate of their indictments.
