Former Vice-President De
funct Bank of Jacksonville
Convicted After 8 Hour's
Deliberation Reported As
10-3 for Conviction at First
The jury in the ease of Roland D.
1 1 linos, former vice president of the
(defunct Bank of Jacksonville returned
i a verdict or guilty last night at 10:30
joclock after eight and one-half hours
deliberations. The jury retired at
2:05 yesterday afternoon.
According to courthouse rumors the
jury stood ten to three for conviction
moat ot the afternoon, when the artu-
Iments were hot and heavy and for
I several hours stood eleven to one for
conviction. About rive o'clock the
lury sent a note to the court. Hinea
was charged with making a false re
port of the condition ot the hank to a
bank examiner.
Some or the jurors said the strong
est evidence against Hines was the
correct computing of the interest due
the county ror runds on deposit, and
the theory or the state, consequently,
that he must have known the true
condition of the bank, or he could not
have figured it correctly.
Hines in his own behalf said that ho
j DCTutnt vim iigures ironi tne county
treasurers books. He said that he was
suspicious or the condition of the
bank, and that he did not know w heth
er Johnson or the county treasurer
were short, and, that he wrote lo Will
H. Bennett, then superintendent tit
banks all was not well, in effect, but
' was unable to produce a copy of the
leiicr, ami, a demand on the state by
the defense to produce the letter met
with the information that they knew
nothing about it.
Tlu feature of tho trial was tho
testimony or V. If. Johnson, now serv
Ing a ten year sentence iu tho state
prison, in behair or Hinea who is a half
brother. Johnson left Hinea in charge
or the hank, when he was its cashier
on a trip east, and testified among
other things that Hines knew little of
tho condition of tho bunk. Ho also
testified that tho personal account of
Hines, and the account or the ririn of
Hines KSnider were "about even,"
and that he removed, among others,
their individual and firm account
sheets the night before the bunk
closed, "to save them embarrassment"

Sentiment Growing for the
Postponement of Confer
ence for Six Months, Allow
ing Time for Controversies
to Quiet Down-
GENOA. April 27. It u feared that
the British proposal to call a meeting
of the signatories of the Versailles
treaty may be regarded aa an attempt
to evade the express condition that
reparationg should not be discussed at
or in connection with the Genoa con
ference, says Henry Wickham Steed la
a dispatch to the London Tlrns. -.
It la therefore thought very doubtful
Mr. Steed adds, whether Premier Poin
care or France will accept the British
suggestion. . " '
In one quarter, neither French nor
British, Mr. Steed continues, the idea
has been mooted that in view of the
extremely complicated situation at
Genoa it would be far better to sua-
;pend the Genoa conference for ; six
j months in order to leave time tor aome
or the controverted issues to mature
(and try and dispose or the reparation
problem elsewhere. . .
j According to the socialist organ La
vora, a plenary sitting or the confer
ence will be held on Monday, to pass,
resolutions already approved by sev
eral of the commissions.
. The newspaper expresses the view
I that the decision to hold such a ses
sion, if confirmed, is a favorable: sign
, tor the successful conclusion ot the
negotiations concerning Russian af
fairs. Otherwise, it comment,-Premier
Lloyd George would avoid the
risk of a public session In which new
incidents might arise. . t , .
Words Misunderstood -
GENOA. April 27. (By Associated
Press.) Representatives or the big
and little ententes and Portugal ex
pected to have before them in final
form today the answer to the Russian
delegates counter proposal for the
economic restoration of Russia which
the allies round unacceptable.
This statement is being drawn up
primarily to satisry England. France
and Belgium, Russia's heaviest credi
tors. In their answer the Russians ap
pear to have made no rererence to the
war debts which tho allies said they
were ready to scale down. .
In the English text of the allies'
proposals the phrasing was: "In view
or the serious economic conditions in
Russia, the creditor governments are
prepared to write down the war debts
owing by Russia to them." ',
The Russians apparently interpreted
the words "writ down" to mean
"write orr," in other words, complete
cancellation. They therefore ignored
tho proiiosal in their rejoinder.
