BANK FAILURE SURPRISE More Vividly Even Than Letter in troduced aa Evidence Is Explana tion Made by Defendant Xovr on Trial. I,D COAST Sports ctnfw BELLTNGHAH. Wash, April 14. In clear, crisp tones and marked- with frankness, Jacob Furtb, chairman of the board of directors of the Seattle National Bank of Seattle, today told the jury that is hearing the case of the state against Mr. Furth on a charge of conspiracy m connection with ac centing deposits for the Schricker tk Company private hank of La Conner when It was known t be insolvent, of the buBinese relations between himself. hi bank and W. E. Schricker, presi dent of the La Conner bank from 18 So, when the La Conner bank was organ' lzed. With little questioning, the aged banker detailed all the transactions leading up to the time the private bank failed a year ago tomorrow. Through the testimony of the defendant, Mr. Furth, letters Introduced by the state and which the state had planned to identify by the convicted Schricker. but who refused to testify again, were pre sented to the jury and It was to the exact meaning of the mass oi corre spondencs that Mr. Furth directed the greater part of his testimony today. Mora vividly than the letters them selves the explanations of Mr. Furth recited the history of the struggles of the Ta Conner banker through tne mis fortune of a loan to a mill company against final failure. Mr. Furth s tea- timony showed how Scnrickner nao weathered the panic, ot 1S93 without the aid of a dollar from outside banks. and again how he passed through the disturbing times of 1907, being the only bank In the state, according to Mr. Furth. that did no Issue Clearing- House or cashier's certificates. The banker's testimony brought out tbe fact that he met W. E. Schricker, nresldent of the defunct bank, In the early SO's and had great confidence In the man. "I never for one moment doubted the solvency of the Schricker bank or of Schricker himself," declared Mr. Furth.
