terms upon which he was to become-a
state's witness; -one of the ' conditions,
and the chief one, being that he should
be granted immunity from prescutlon.
Up to this time no agreement has been
reached between the district attorney
snd the treasurer of the bank, but
Burkhart Is still willing to come Into
camp as soon as the promise of im
munity is made him.
- Should Burkhart become a witness for
tha state It is believed that the' case
which ' the investigators have been
building up about the officials and di
rectors ot the Institution cpuld not be
broken down by the defense.
The books of the Instiutlon show that
he has been one of the most active in
the transactions of the bank which are
now under the probe and In some of
them has acted entirely alone, Ross, the
president of the institution, not being
let. 'into some of the secrets. Burk
h art's testimony,' If he should '- "tote
falr"w.lth the state. . would therefore
be Of inestimable value to the district
attorney In his efforts to bring to j'Js
ilce : the wreckers of the bank.
'No action has.. been taken today be
tween the district' attorney, the De
positors' association and ,v C. Bristol
for, the American Surety company on
the, one hand and W, M. Ladd on the
other looking to the assumption- by Mr.
Ladd of the. liabilities of the -bank. The
demands of the depositors have been
made known to Mr. Ladd, as have those
of -the American Surety company, in a
general way,Hut 'he has not as yet re
ceived the official .presentation and
therefore no definite conference over the
project was had today. .The situation
rests In the same place it did yesterday
when Mr. Ladd stated his offer and the
other parties -made known their de
mands. v .
Manv attorneys In the city, among
them the counsel for Mr. Ladd, believe
that should Mr. Ladd. make no settle
ment or" offer - o compromise any
action, brought against him as threat
ened would fall to the ground for lack
of a case to make' it. stand. - - .
Tomorrow negotiations between - the
depositors, the Surety company and Mr.
Ladd. wilt be resumed and it Is possible
that some compromise-may be reached
by which Mr. Ladd will assume In some
manner the entire liabilities , of 5 the
bank...,' it ' s, 4- ' ,!
