THE MORXIXG OREGQyiAX, WEDXESDAT, APRIL 22. 1908. COURT PONDERS ODER QUESTION Chance That Ross Case May Be Thrown Out of Court on Technicalities. ARGUMENTS OF ATTORNEYS PrftMiae l'r Officer Are ot Re ftpnnMhta for Art a of Corporation and That Treasurer May Pe- poalt "Without Security. SALEM. Or.. April Jl. (Special.) That the officers of a bank are not individually , reponslbli for the i Heps I acts of a cor poration over which they have charpa ' and that the State Treasurer haa the ripht :to deposit the irreducible school funds In banks without security, were the anru-m-nts act forth today In the Circuit Court In d-fne of J. Thorbwn Rosa, on trial for alleged conversion of J2W.0W of state chool funds. Mr. - McPamant. attorney for the de fense, contended that ff a crime was com mitted it was the a-t of the corporation, the Title Guarantee Trust Company. and not of Mr. Ross and the other three officers of the bank who have been in dieted witW him. ThA r trip aruni- mnts upon which Mr. Ross hanps his dr-fense. At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning J ud ft Fnrnett will render a decision upon the sufrlcicncy of these defenses. Arguments of Prosecution. Answering these. aricume,nts. Attorney Manntiw, Fipe and Haney assert that th constitution expressly prohihlts the loaning of school funds by any person except the State land Board; that the statutes of. the Mate expressly provide what security must be taken for loans, and that the Treasurer lias no rijrht to deposit the school funds in a bank other wise than as a special deposit for safe keeping. Mr. Manning argued that a cor poration is hut an imaginary being, hav ing no hands and no mind, and therefore no capacity lo commit the crime of con verting money. The crime, if any. must have been.committed by the individual! who handled the money. Th arguments thus summarized occu pied the at ton ton of the Circuit Court all day today. When the Ross case was called for trial thta morning the prosecu tion put Stnte Treasurer Steel on the stand and asked him what funds he de posited In the bank of the Title Guarantee A Trust Company. fury Is Kxeuaed. Immediately "Mr. McCamant objected upon the ground that the indictment charged that conversion has been com. mitted by Mr. Ross, and therefore evi dence that the money was In the cus tody of the bank will be incompetent. Irrelevant and Immaterial. As the law questions go to the foundation of the case. U was agreed that the Jury should be excused, and the day was spent arguing- the questions raised. McOtmant cited the decision of the Oregon Supreme Court In the case of the Metschnn claim Bgainst the Wil liams & Knglaml Bank, in which the Court said that the State Treasurer has a right to deposit funds in a bank for safe keeping. Attorney pipes de clared that thla remark by the Su preme court was obiter dictum, not es sential to the issue presented In that case. He also contended that even if a deposit of funds be made for safe keeping. It must be in the form of a special deposit, and not a general de posit, by whl h the funds become the property of the bank. Deposits Argued Necessary. McCamant also cited numerous decisions 'by courts of other states Molding that such deposits of public funds may be made. He asserted that ordinary pru dence requires adoption of such a policy for If all the state funds, sometimes nearly a million dollars, were kept In the vaults at the capltol there will be strong temptation to robbers to break in and steal. Keeping so much money . in the vaults would injure business by tak ing the money out of circulation and this the framers of the constitution could hot have intended. Attorney Tipes. for the prosecution, made a strong argument showing that from the adoption of the constitution down to the de:osit law of 1907, the school funds have been particularly guarded against loss and have been known as an irreducible fund. The act of 17. he said, excepts the school funds from the deposit law, thus clearly in dicating an intention that they should not- b deposited in banks. McCamant averted that & general de posit subject to check is not a loan in the sense of the term as used in the statutes, neither is it a bailment. Pipes urged that such a deposit is in fact a loan, while the Constitution and the stat utes contemplate that the school funds at all times shall be held as a bailment. Question I'nder Advisement. McCamant contended that the state is protected against loss by the Treasurer's bond and therefore a reason for prohibit ing deposits does not exist. Pipes answered that in the case of public funds, and especially school funds. 3 double precaution la necotary, the bom and the penal statute. Pipes quoted that statutes showing that the State Iand Board is not permitted to loan the school funds without speci fied security and argued that the State Treasurer alone certainly would not be permitted to loan them with no security at all. Judge Burnett took the question under advisement until tomorrow morning. At torneys for the prosecution admitted that if the ruling should be against them their case.wUI be at an end.
