They bore the initials "E. O." identified by Skinner as the initials of Olmstead. Two drafts on the Wheeler Lumber company of San Francisco dated December 30, 1926, and totalling $75,000 were also ad mitted as evidence. They had been returned to the Northwestern Na tional dishonored. Skinner Pleads Ignorance Although he was vice president of the Northwestern National bank, and secretary of its board of directors and of the executive committee, Skinner testified today that he was not aware of the transactions carried on by the Mc- Cormick company and was not aware of the large amount tht company owed the bank until about the first of February, 11 He admitted that Frank O. Bates, cashier, and other junior officers of the band had men tioned to him that some ot "Wheeler's checks" had been re turned from eastern banks, but that he had 'been advised that the matter bad been taken car of after tt hid been called to the at tention of j Olmstead. Skinner! testified to the meeting of the executive committee ot the bank on October 9. 1924. ratified by the board on October 15, wherein an overdraft of Wheeler, amounting to $350,000 was acted upon and notes to. secure this amount approved. But two of the four notes approved howevei were deposited, one. from the Mc- Cormlck 1 Lumber company for $10,000 and another from the Wheeler i Timber company for $50,000. ! Parts of Meeting Stressed George j Neuner, government prosecutor, in reading the min utes of the meeting of the execu tive meeting to the jury, placed special emphasis upon the follow ing paragraphs: It fc; understood that Mr. Spanlding. Mr. Metsschan, Mr. Charlton iand Mr. Plttock. mem bers of the executive committee, were entirely without knowledge of the overdraft mentioned and are approving of these loans only for the purpose of covering an ex lstlng debt. 'On motion of Mr. Metzschan, seconded by Mr. Charlton, the of fleers of the bank were especially instructed not to permit any fur ther overdrafts on the accounts of J. E. Wheeler . . ."

Facts Not Well Known In relation to the overt acts charged In the Indictment, Skin-1 ner said that prior to the begin ning of the intensive run on the bank last March, resulting ulti mately In the closing of the In stitution, the alleged check "kit ing" operations ot Wheeler, with the cooperation of Olmstead was not general Information among the bank's employes. He said he had refused to approve checks on this account In December, 1926 The line of credit up to $100- 000 which had been extended tc the McCormlck Lumber company was revoked by action of the ex ecutive board on July 13, 1926, the witness said, following the withdrawal by this company of Its account with the Northwestern. Until February 1, 1927, Skinner said he was not aware that the McCormlck Lumber company had another account at the North western or that they were Indebt ed to the bank In any sum. Much of the testimony today was ground work upon which the rnvArnment hoDes to build its case. Bank Teller Testifies L. W. Becker, collection teller at the Northwestern National, was the government's final witness of the day. Hi3 department, he said, took care of returned checks of the McCormlck Lumber company An unusual practice was admitted in connection with these checks in that' Olmstead was notified that they had been returned. During the first of the series, he said, he called Wheeler or his bookkeeper, but was told that the matter would be taken up by Olm stead. These dishonored checks which were in the possession of his de partment, he continued, were tak en up by other checks deposited by one : of Wheeler's employes When they reached him, they bore the Initials "E. O.," signifying that they had been presented to the president ot the bank and by him approved. After notifying Wheeler the first few times the checks were received by his department, Beck er said, he then took the matter up directly with Olmstead who al ways advised htm, he said, that "I'll see that they are taken care of."
