' McCamant cited authority to Substan tiate his contention, that when the state treasurer deposited the school funds in the bank he became a ' debtor of the bank and not a bailee; that the bank was tha creditor of Mr. Steel and not a bailor. In order to make this conten tion stand Mr.- McCamant also 'Under took to show that by decisions of tha supreme court of : Oregon the state treasurer is authorised to deposit tho funds in a bank. - Both these -Dolnta of law have a portentous bearing on the case of the' defense and the decision of Judge Burnett is awaited with con siderable interest Practically no evidence was hea'rd bv the Jury today.
