Johnson, former president of the defunct liank of Jacksonville, nuido his first public nppearaneo Monday afternoon, since his arrest last August, when the doors of tho bank were closed, nt the trial of Myrtle lllakeley, former county treas urer, charged with nuilfeosunee. lie appeared afl a wltm-ss for the state, attracting mueh Interest among the court spectators, llefore being called to tho stand, ho sat with his attorney. Herbert K. Haana, in the space" re served for lawyers, and seemed light hearted as he talked with Sheriff Ter rill and his counsel. ' Johnson wore a blue serge suit. and though he has been confined for many weeks In the county JulU no prison pnleness showed. Ills checks were rosy, and his step brisk as he walked to the witness stand. He was In the pink of pbyslcnl condition up parently. - On the witness ntnnd he was se rious and answered all questions freely and clearly, several times ouestlng that Prosecutor llawles Mobre repeat them, so ho could bet ter understand them. Johnson's testimony concerned tlio Issuing of three drafts for $90,000 at the request of County Treasurer Dlakeley In April, 1920 to cut down the. county deposits In the Hank OI Jacksonville. The drafts were all (lis- honored. Asked regarding the ti nanclnKcqndltlon of tho bank during tho neriod mentioned in the indict ment against Mrs. Ulakeley, he oiled witnout reticence mai ne was unablo to rpay." Johnson's trial has been placed as tho next tyn'tho lust case on tho pi cs ent calendal: ... W. H. Johnson, former president of the Bank' of Jacksonville testified at the MondayAafternoon Bession of the circuit Court'Kearing the case of Mrs. Myrtle Blakeiry, former county trea surer, charge 'with malfeasance In office in conneouon wun me iainuc of the bank, lio was called by the state to Identity', records and state ments, the introduction of which brought forth aserles of objections from the defense! with exceptions to the rulings of tho oitt. In response to queries Johnson said the bank "would have paid the amount of county deposits with difficulty," and that the treasurer reduced and In creased the county deposits at various conference. The witness said during her tenure of office she knew the ex act condition of her office, but owing to the shortage of clerical help she was several months behind with her ledger posting. She testified that she filed regular reports with the county clet'K showing cash on hand and where the money was deposited for the inspec tion of county court. Mi-s. lllakeley was the last witness in the case. Florey Is Assailed In his closing plea to the jury Attor ney Gus Newbury maintained that the material allegations of the indictment had not been proven "by a singlo syl lable of evidence not one" ; also "that there was not an iota of evidence to show that Jackson county would lose a single dollar." "Why did the county clerk on the witness stand volunteer testimony? It looks mighty peculiar. Is he trying to protect somebody ? Are they trying to make this little woman the goat? Counsel also called attention that the assistant bank superintendent had been asked any questions regarding the assets and liabilities of tho Hank of Jacksonville. Prosecutor .Monro devoted his plea to a review of the evidence, and em phasis of the duties of the treasurer and the uiaiulenancr the defendant is responsible for the conduct of her office, and not other county officers. The prosecutor said the fact that the defendant was a woman did not "les sen her responsibilities." and that he was "prosecuting In no spirit of viudio tiveness." .

Bank Examiner Knew Witness testified that .Superinten dent of Banks W. H. Bennett knew of the dishonoring of the drafts, and wrote a letter regarding it.
