This came when 'Will B. Haines,
president of the Portland National
bank, averred that "you can't hiive
cte!v bunking in Oregon with a cor
rupt state banking department' and
that the board was "prejudiced," in
Brain well's favor. State Treasurer
Kay interpreted Haines' remarks to
mean "that the board is prejudiced
and that Bramwell is a scoundrel."
So direct and fiery did Haines re
marks become in the course of a
speech to the board that Governor
Pierce interrupted him, raised his
hand and attempted to put Haines
under oath. Haines raised his hand,
but in the midst of the governor's
reading the oath, turned to J. X.
Hart, his attorney, and asked whether
he should go under oath. He then
refused to be sworn.
"Why should I be sworn when no

know.

by Bramwell when ho applied for a

From that point on the hearing did

fusal to grunt a reserve charter, to
the Portland National as It did un
episode concerning an unidentified
western Oregon bank, around which
the question of whether Bramwell
shull remain In office now centers.
Uraimvell did say, however, that tho
Portland bank had failed to meet
legal requirements In tho mutter of
supplying the stutc department wllh
statements when asked to do so. He
gave certain dates. On. one or two
of these dates the bank iwoplc
claimed to have mulled tho state
ments. All matter read and statements
made about the unidentified bank
omitted the name, so that it did not
get into the record. This bank, ac
cording to Bramwell wus on the verge
of collapse. He wrote a letter to the
directors in which he proposed In lieu
of a 100 per cent assessment on the
stockholders, that tho stock be de
posited with himself In escrow and
that the state department take charge
of tho bunk for twelve months with
an option of buying It during Unit
period at a price fixed by Bramwell.
