first blood regarding thn supposed In
stability of tho bank. This testimony
was extracted from the wltnesi with
considerable difficulty by the prosecu
tor, over the objection of C. W. Fulton,
clilef counsel for Moore. Hayes had
testified that he had an opportunity
to examine the securities held by th
bank white Moore imd Morris were ab
sent In San Francisco to purchase the
vaults and fixtures for the new loca
tion at Sixth and Washington streets.
Hayes then stated that after the re
turn of Moore and Morris he resigned
and asked Moore to return the money
In- had put into the bank for stock.
Hi- had taken J5000 worth of stock,
peylng 116(10 cash and Klvlng his note
tor the remainder. He paid Moore de

all the utock he could handle, but Hayes
InHlsted on having his money and Moore
wrote a check for It.
rulton Objects.
"Hid you talk with Moore regarding
the condition of the bank?" asked Fltz
genild. I dont remember that I did," said
Hayes.
"Old you tell why you wanted to
withdraw?"
"I don't remember."
"O a Moore ask you why you resigned?"
"I don t remember as to that." I
"Did you not stale to Moore that the
conditions in the bank were not to your
liking?"
To this question Fulton made gtrenu
ouh objections, but Judge Bionatigh
oxerruled him. The court said It wan 1
evident that Hayes was an unwilling
witness.
Hayes then admitted he may have
made, bo." such statement. He thought
likely he did say so.
Fulton had only one question on
cross examination. Me brought out th
fa' t that Hayes and Cashier Morris did
not get along well together.

from January to July, 1907, aggregating
about $70,000.

Fltigerald next traced through the
books the Golden Eagle note, given to
cover overdrafts. The first was on May
23, 1807. for $7000. Others were for
$20,000, $27,818. $32,J00 end $15,000. the
aggregate sum being; $101,638. SchulU
said he did not know what these notes
were (or and he did not know who mu
tilated the notes by tearing off the sig
nature of Qus Low It. Fltxgerald then
showed the writing off of the Golden
Eagle Indebtedness by the exchange of
telephone stock and bonds for It.
Fulton, on cross-examination, asked
Schulll if he -had ever believed the bank
Insolvent. The witness said he did not.
He knew only what the books showed.
The day before the bank closed he knw
the cash had run low and knew there
was some alarm among the tellers. But
he thought the bank would come
through all rlgnt and he did not with
draw his own deposit of 1176 or $200.
His brother had a deposit of $150 in
the bank when It closed, and his sister
had $10 there.
Ralston Gives More Testimony.
I. O Ha 1 ft on. the first president of
tiie bank, whs recalled to finish his
testimony. He was still unable to posi
tively identify the first ledger kept by
the Institution. He had run over his
Jury to disregard all the prosecutor bad
said. "But the court refused to strike
out testimony as to the amount of the
bond Issue authorised. Tho witness
also testified to the sale of $100,000 In
bonds to tha Oregon Trust and $10,000
to the Jackson County bank. Stryker
was on the stand when court adjourned
at noon.
So far, the defense had played a wait
ing game. No objection has been of
fered to the testimony regarding the
way the bank was started or the details
of such transactions as the Golden
Eagle overdrafts. The purpose of the
defense, evidently. Is to disclaim , any
knowledge on the part of Moore as to
the most of the queer banking with
which the testimony of the state, has

It was Immaterial at this time to show

the road was bonded for $1,000,000, snd
that Moore then turned around and

Fulton objected to the statement
made by Fitzgerald in the presence of

taken by the numerous "steerers." The
Indictment named fc5 persons who are
alleged to have been victims of the

Had Excellent System.
T. system by which the gang worked
was brought out In all lis details at
the trial. The evidence showed how the
gang first got Its eye on a prospective
victim, how the "steerer" succeeded In
drawing him on, how the gang finally
got hold of mi and how he was fleeced.
Furthermore the evidence showed how
the gang operated for Its own protec
tion, how the athletic contests were ar
ranged, and how the heads of the al
leged conspiracy were able to secure
as aids and allies a large numht r of
athletes, horsemen, wrestlers and other
sporting men of more or less wide rep

men who hud long criminal records.

Willamette valley.
The Natron cut-off will soon be com
pleted between Springfield and Odell,
and It would furnish a suitable link in
the chain of branches across the state.
From Odell the road can be built east

and bunch grass fields Of Lake and Har

the chain.
Newcomers are now flooding Into

aa one of the foremost engineers In the
country, although the project Is really

In Oregon. That the contract for th
completion of the project will be lot In
the near future Is said to be certain.
The Vale-Burns project Is supposed to
be handled by the Oregon Short line,
and It Is reported thst a contract for a
portion of that work has already been
let.
Transformation of steam to electric
power on the west side division of the
Southern . Pacific through the Willam

Hood st San Francisco, and It Is report
ed that before the end of the coming
summer the work of electrifying the

well under way.
Preparatory work on the big power
plant at the headwaters of the Clack

some time. s!so under the guidance of
Chief Engineer Hood at San Francisco.
The construction of the power plant
will Involve the outlay of about $350,000,
pnd consulting engineers sny the plant
will be capable of developing at least
;n,000 kilowatt of power, or more than
enough to handle all the business that
the entire west side division might secure.
