Informell Davis (hat lie hnd over
chocked. He called on liim one night
"when the latter wns 111. und they
talked about It together. Do saw
Davis again tho next evening, and the
latter handed him tho deed of trust
with the request that he give It to
Robert CabnnhjK, one of the directors.
'? Tho request was compiled with, und
Mr. Cabanlss held it one night. Wit*
' ness Identified the deed of trust, and
.eald he kept it until tho end of the
year (190$). He assumed that the
Young note, as it came to be called,
waff to care for Mr. Dnvis's over
checking. He said that he was. a
brother-in-law of .Mr. Davis.
' Ho was questioned closely by Cord'
nibu wealth's Attorney Mann as to the
payments made on the overdrafts, and
. answered that Mr.. Bishop ordered him
to pay them all. But lie said that he
, was not ordered specially to pay Mr.
IDavis's overdrafts, ns some of the
directors were sometimes overdrawn.
hut he couldn't remember whether
they gave notes to cover the ovor
cliecking.
"Can you tell me what other direc?
tors were overdrawn?" queried counsel
. for the defense.
"1 don't know exactly." was the re?
ply, . "but 1 think pretty near all of
them." and everybody laughed.
Then counsel for the defense wanted
to know if the board of- directors gitvo
Mr. Bishop assistance and advice, as
is usual in banks.
"I don't think I'm competent to say."
the witness replied. The question war
the keynote of the defense, for counsel
'is trying to prove that there was vast
negligence on the part of the directors,
especially the discount committee; ana
I that Mr. Bishop practically operated!
the bank, and that the directors knew;
that he discounted paper. ARecordsj
showed that there was no meeting of)
the directors from January 5 to Do- ;
ctmber 16. 1'40>. ami yet the discount ;
committee was i-upposot! to meet every j
day to pass on the paper. J
Directors Coiiitl/.nut of Note. I
tVitncts Ijidmlltcd ?.hut he"was pres?
ent at the meetinit of the. stockholders
in 1909, which confirmed the actions
of the directors and re-elected the en
" tire board, with Charles Hall Davis as
' president of the institution. He sale,
that the directors knew that the note
for $21,000 was on hand, and stated that
It was. renewed on February IG, 1909,
with the indorsation of three directors,
and again for twonty dnws oh Julyi '.'-'
uf tlte same year, with the Indorsation
of six directors.
Then came the first of the directors.
David Eigenbr?n, who said that, wlttt
himself, the discount committee for
lUOS was composed of Robert Cabanlss
v and R. A. Uinsrord. iL- was emphatic
in his denial that authority had been
vested in Mr. Bishop to discount paper,
and said that ho had understood that
nil paper war to be passed on by tho
i ominlttec.
In the fall of 190S, ho said, the bank
was hard up tor cash, on account bj
withdrawals, lie was Informed by tho
cashier; Then, he testified, 1t was de?
cide 1 not to discount any paper except
that of regular customers and for small
amounts.
?Was the Young note discounted by
the board or the discounting authorized
by the board?" he was asked.
"Nu. air."
'?When did yon know that there was
sucli a paper in the batik?''
"In the latter part uf December. 1:?0$,
Just prior to tho annual meeting of tho
board. 1 was checking d list of all pa?
per in the batik, with o:i<- calling and
another checking, when we came across
n note for $21,000 and another for
$27,000. \V. D Voting was the maker,
of the first, and Paul Petlli of tho
other. We wanted to know wljcre the
llrst camu from. Mr. Bishop didn't
reply, but Mr. Davis said be could ex?
plain, but that wo had better wait until
we got to the second hole: Mr, Davis
explained that he had exhausted all
his means In maintain I ho credit or
the bank, and that the paper was fot
his accommodation^ We said that the
paper had been put In without diVr
knowledge or consent and that it must
be taken out. Mr. Davis replied that
he would tnko it out within a few days
Ife said that he had $50,000 or SGG.0M0
owing him, and could put up pnougn
collateral."
Counsel for the defense wanted to
know why Mr. Davis wns not forced to
take the note out Immediately.
?'In Lion's .Mouth.''
"Well." he replied, "the board felt
that it had Us hands in the lion's
mouth and that it was best to act. for
the safety of the bank nnd let the pa?
per stay."
Witness admitted that paper wns
'sd'metifues discounted and afterwards
referr'-J to /?he board for approval; He
asserted that Mr. Bishop never had
authority from the board to discount
paper. The discount committee, he
wer.t on, met often before tho middle
of 190?, but that afterwards tho con?
ditions were such that it was decided
riot to discount any new paper. He
testified that ho knew nothing of the
deed of trust on Centre Hill.
Mr. T.'lilcox: "You voted for the re
neweJ of the note, not knowing that
there was ajiy collateral?"
"Yes, in 180ff."
"You say the bank decided not .to
ta-ke aJiy now paper. Then is a noto
for a previous overdraft new paper?"
"I should think so," replied the wit?
ness.
He said, however, that Mr. Bishop
should have gone to the directors be?
fore discounting the Young note. He
was asked If there was ever any ex?
press denial of Mr. Bishop's Mght to
discount paper, runt answered that the
right had never been given him; that
It is the duty of every expectant

it belonged solely to the discount com?
mute... iie admitted that Mr. Bishop
somoilmes discounted paper fur him
for small amount p. permissible for
n vnlar customers, which was his case.
Witness sal.l that Mr. Bishop dis?
co tinted notes when no one else was
present, but under Instructions.
"Why was it necessary to tc'.l hi in
'hoi to accept new paper when lie hail
no shell authority?" Inquired counsel
for the defense.
"Because we didn't want it even of?
fered." was the reply.
Witness admitted that he had been
"accommodated" by the bank, but only
for business paper. He shied at tho
question whether it wns his duty as
a member of the discount committee
to examine all paper. In which event
lie would have known about the Young
note, but admitted the inference. He.
said he would not have approve! the
discounting of this note.
Harvey Seward, vice-president and
also a director of the defunct concern,
was then called. He. too. denied Mr.
Bishop's right to discount paper, ami
went over the same gvuunil as the
previous witness us to the discovery
of the Young note.
Upon the discovery of the note, Mr.
Davis informed the directors, witness
stated, thai ho hod some ?'bob-tall"
bonds of the V-irglnla Railway and
Power Company, some preferred stock
of coupon certificates and some money
from a man named Hawes. He had
also a contract for tho sale of somo
water power In Tennessee, which would
be enough to cover tho Indebtedness.
Witness had agreed with tho others
that the Young paper should be taken
out of the bank.
With him the witness had threo re?
newals of the noto In question, all
made payablo to and Indorsed by W.
t?. Young. Agroelng with Mr. Elgen
hrun, Mr. Seward said that after the
middle of the year 190S it was the
polli v of tho bank not to discount any
iicw paper, except for very small
a mounts.
Witni-stated that he called at the
bank about throe times a week, when
he would be Informed by Mr. Bishop
t'.nit liiere were only n fow renewals
of holes He said that he didn't know
of any overdrafts except for small
amounts, and that the Young note was
a large transaction for the bank.
?luror: "Did you ever look In the
discout book?"
! Witness replied in the negative, siiy
| lug that he look ills information from
! others. He didn't attend the stock?
holders' meeting In 1009, but admit
led that ail tho acts of the board were,
ratified and a majority re-elected.
As to the renewals of the Young
not,.. |>e said that It was a ground?
hog case, with nothing else to do.
though he admitted that no effort had
been made to collect the collateral,
and that a renewal bad boon mado
without even knowledge that there
was any security.
As had done tho oilier witness, ho
rtat-'d in.it Mr. Bishop had no author?
ity to discount paper, and that tho
latter'.- right had been assumed.
Whether the board of directors mot at
all during I90S ho couldn't remember.
Tli< evldoiloe of R .\. l.uusford, an?
other director', was of much Hie same
character. Hi- was asked If the bank
b id not been hurt by the Voting note
for $21,000, and replied aillrmatively.
Mr Wilier.:, asked him then if a noto
-with an tntlorser other than that of
Ith? make;' were not better than a
naked overdraft.
"I should think so," lie replied.
John M. ilanruhan, also a director,
didn't think 1;? hail overdrawn him?
self, though tie might have done so
for small amounts. Ho attended vory
! few meeting.-, of the board, though he
I \ot,-d for th.- re-election of the dlrdiv
I tors. He signed the book July ?"
1809. for a renewal of the Young note'
Ho knew little of the i,??k affairs anil
his testimony took up as Hi tie time.
Tb re ml ?r Continuity llrokeu
I Then ,-ame Robert CahnnUs and
I Hie thread .,f continuity In n,o liiroc
I torlui evidence was broken lie didn't
know whether any authority had been
conferred on Mr. Bishop to discount
notes, ion he did know that Mr. Bishop
uns in tho habit Of discounting paper,
and that every member of the board
was aware of the same fact. He took
(Sapor to the bank himself, lie said.
"Commodore." he would say to Mr.
Bishop, "i have a little note and tj
want a little money," und lie goi It.
He said that he received the Davis
deed of trust on Centre Hill from W.
A. Worth, and kept it only one night.
He returned it the next morning be?
cause he knew nothing about it. Mr.
Davis later explained to him that he
had overchecked In the bank, arid
wanted to do everything to soeuro it.
"Did you know that Mr. Bishop dis?
counted paper?" he was asked.
"Yes," he replied. "Every member
of the board knew that Mr. Bishop j
discounted paper, and none of them
will deny It before me."
This finished the evidence for tho
day. r; T. Wilson, clerk of tho Stato
Corporation Commission, was placed
on the stand, but there wns war im?
mediately. At 4:15 o'clock Judge
Mullen adjourned the Jury until 10
o'clock to-morrow morning, and
the light over the admission of Mr.
?Wilson's evidence was on.
Commonwealth's Attorney Mann
stated to the court that he wanted to
prove through Mr. Wilson, first,
knowledge; second, Intent, and third,
motive. Tho Stato Corporation Com?
mission, doolarod Mr. Mann, had sent
three letters to the bank, demanding
a statement. Tae bank had thon be

"It was all a sham." lie said, "all a

extent ?f J 1,700.
Mr. I>oo then rose for the defense.
He said If bis objection were sus?
tained, the caso would end immediate?
ly. He argued Hint the corpus delicti
hud not been established, und thiit,
therefore, collateral evidence could not
be adduced. Ho denied that it could
be proved that Mr. Bishop had made,

resolution were to-day made the un
llnlslicd business. Senator lleyburn,
who Is against direct elections, con?
tended that It could not ho made the
unfinished business by a motion, but
that a bill became the unfinished busi?
ness automatically. Senator Clark,
chairman of the Judiciary "Committee"!
which reported favorable on the reso?
lution, asked delay In order to give
somo of the members of the commit?
tee an opportunity to liln their views;
and upon his statement Senator Borah
agreed not to object to adjournment i
until Monday.
That out of tho way. Senator Gal
linger renowod his motion for ad?
journment until Monday.
"Will the Senator withhold Oiat a
moment?" asked Senator Bailey. "1
ileslro to move that, until otherwise !
ordered, tho Senate shall moot at
o'clock Instead of at noon."
Vice-president Sherman put Mr. Bai- j
ley's motion at once. The "ayes"
seemed to bo stronger than the "noes":
but the Vice-Prcsldont, like many oth?
ers In tho. chamber, was surprised and
hesitated.
"The ayes seem to have It." he re?
marked, halting between ench word.
Still no one objected.
Vote Is Not rhnlleinred.
"The ayes have It." be finally an?
nounced. Some Senators looked around
the chamber as If a cyclone had Just]
passed, but no one made any attempt
to have a roll call or to challenge tin
decision of the Vice-Presldent.
Senator Bailey has been trying to
get through this change In the hour of
mooting for some tlmo, but until to?
day he has been unable to get the con?
sent of the Senate to the proposition.
It was In the second s.-;-sloti of tho
last Congress, which met In December
of 1909. that Mr. Bailey first made the
suggestion and argued for It. It was
such a radical departure from custom
thiit It found little favor. Mr. Bailey
put It up to the Sonate Committee on
Rules, and that body had been pon?
dering over It.
At the beginning of this session Mr.
Bailey relieved the formality of the
opening day by again urging that the
dally sessions be hold at '_? o'clock in?
stead of at noon, and a few days later
ho submitted tho proposition to the
Senate hi a formal way, proposing
other changes in the rules as would be
necessary. That had been referred to \
tho Rules Committee, but no action
had been taken.

We waiting to welcome us?
Ah, no; It could never be heaven
?.If wo mot as. strangers there;
Wo know you'll be walling to grecti

Inside of the portals fair.
We'll know through the cycles eter*

That God in His love knew best,
When Ho gave us on enrth our suft'r

That through it wo might find rest.
And though we shall miss your dear

t As long as on earth we dwell.
Wo yield to the will of "our Father."
