claJ.) The defense, on cross-examination
of tha atate's witness. Frank
Aldrlch, who had been a business part
ner of H. C. Phillips, on trial on a
charge of accepting money for deposit
In the Commercial Bank or Vancouver,
knowing tha Institution to be insol
vent, scored heavily today.
Mra. Marv E. Hamilton, who made
the deposit .of 11531.10 on which the
charge is drawn, testified that sne naa
deposited the check with the Commer
cial Bank and that It was accepted by
Gilbert Daniels, cashier, December 1.
the day before tha bank closed. Hugh
L. Parcel, attorney for the trustee of
three bankrupt firms, which owed the
bank heavily at the time of tha crash,
testified as to tha value of tha assets
of the bankrupts.
It Is evident that"the defense Is lay
ing a foundation on which to bring
evidence that the assets and securities
given to the bank were ample and
could have been sold for enough to pay
every lndebtedneaa and possibly with
a sum to spare. Aldrlch gave esti
mates of 1145.000. above Incumbrances,
of about HO. 000. while hla obligations
to tha bank. Including those of his
family and minor sons, waa J,000. He
said ha had turned over to the bank
140.000 of the stock of the Toppenleh
Livestock Company.
It waa brought out. however, that
he refuses to transfer the stock on the
book. There Is a provision In the by
la we of the company that the stock
cannot be voted, unless It has been
transferred to the holder on tha books
of the company. So while the com
pany haa possession of tha stock. It
cannot be sold. Tha company has
never paid a dividend, so Aldrlch said.
Bk Deceived, Defease A verm.
E. M. Filslnger, of the Central Man
ufacturing Company, which owed the
bank about 113.000, testified to having
11500 overdrafts In the bank when it
closed. He admitted that he knew
aomethlng about a written statement
mada by his father. J. H. Filslnger,
Dumorting to ahow the assets of the
company at about 130.000. The defense
charges that In reality tha asaeta were
flctltloua and wfra mada to appear
good to secure a loan.
J. M. Langsdorf. president of tha
United States National Bank, and In
tha banking buslneaa since 188$. testl-
fled that the usual amount of Interest
paid by banks Is 4 per cent here. The
Commercial la known to have paid I
per cent In at leaat ona case, that of
Mrs. J. D. Mayer.
M. M. Connor, an attorney and sec
retary of Swank A Co., before bank
ruptcy, and Lloyd Dubois, trustee since,
took the stand. Connor testified that
tha Arm owed the Commercial Bank
about 140.000. 700 on other notes
and 120,000 on merchandise. Judge
Bennett, for the defense, asked If he
did not know that the stock invoiced
and waa worth aa much aa $80,000 or
$90,000, and he said that he thought
It would not go above $60,000 at that
time. Dubois nald the liabilities are
about $45,000. He sold the stock for
$11,465. to the highest bidder, there
being seven or eight bidders. A divi
dend of 20 par cent haa been declared
by tha firm.
Flaaaeial Steadings Aired.
T. H. Adams, president of the Van
couver National Bank, testified aa to
what "cash items" are. He said they
are items, not cash, but which are In
the process of being converted Into
cash, aa the next day. He testified to
the reputation for solvency of Moore
Hardin and aald the reputation of
Rector ot Daly, at that time, while not
bad, waa not good. Tha financial
standing of O. A. Oooley, ha said, waa
not sound. Mr. Adams denied tha al
legation that he had taken undue In
terest In the case because Phillips had
been president of a rival concern.
Wella Aldrlch, 18 yeara old. testified
to owing the bank a note for $4000,
and that he had given Toppenlsh Live
