quest of counsel for T. D. Berry. Mr.

Uuited States court, probably in Lynch?
hurg at the September term, to answer
charges brought against him in connec?
tion with the First National Bank, of
Bedford City,which closed Its doors along
with the Liberty Savings Bank.
Mr. Berry has been tried iu the county
court and acquit ted on one of the charges

erty Savings Bank. At the last term of

grand jury brought in an indictment
against him and the cashier of the First

The issuing of a capias for Mr. Berry's

posed ol at'once is said to have been due
to a wish to anticipate the arrest and
avoid unnecessary trouble. It is said
that Judge Paul fixed the bail to be re?
quired of Mr. Berry at $.">,<)00.
