the deposit made by State Treasurer
George A. Steel with the Title Guar
antee ft Trust company was a general
deposit like any other deposit sub
ject to check, and was not In the na
ture of a loan to the bank or to its '
officials nor a bailment. '
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

Judge Burnett is awaited with con

Practically no evidence was hea'rd bv
the Jury today. Mr. Steel was called

being absent from the courtroom, Ben

the books of the bank, was placed on

Steel appeared in court When the
