Q— Is It not a fact that P. E. Bowles of
the American National Bank . made a demand
on you for the Inspection of ¦ your warehouses
on May 28? A.— He did. ¦, r
Q. — Then was not < that an unusual | occur
rence which might have prompted * Josua to
demand his back salary? A.— Such things
have happened 'before. - ,
Q. — Well; waa there anything else that hap
pened between May 28 and May- 31. which
might have caused uneasiness? A. — No.
Q.— Did you , not have an interview with
Bowles on .Tun** 3? A. — Yes.
Q.— Isn't It a fact • that after the meeting
you had with B6wles on June 3 ;you ordered
the bookkeeper • to date the- entry to ¦¦ Josua's
credit on, May 317. A. — I do not remember. ¦
Q. — What happened at the meeting you had
with Bowles at Attorney Chlckering's 1 of flee ? -
This raised a strong objection from Ach,
who claimed" that his client need not an
swer any questions which might ; have a
tendency to Incriminate himself in • the
criminal action now pending. Eppinger re
fused to answer further than to > say that
as a result " of % the meeting he had, given
Bowles a' note of Peter Cook and one? of
Jones & Co. as securities.
Under- questioning by. Attorney. Freld-
' Q. — What caused you to order credit to your
son Josua on May 31, -when you. had not done
so prior to that time for six years? A. — My
son asked It. I supposed that it' had* been
credited yearly.' - ¦ - " ¦'- . ; *
Q. — Was there any . particular circumstance?
Was there nothing in the conduct of the busi
ness which might-, have caused ' Josua Eppinger
tr>. demand -the salary credited to him? A.—
Not that I knew of. . - -- .'
The questioning attorney; then estab
lished by Eppinger's admissions the cause
for Josua's j precipitate < haste in demand
ing the salary which. he had left on the
books, for six years and which he se
cured only- a few. days vbefore the 'firm
became bankrupt. He showed the signifi
cant relation between . the explanations
demanded by P. E. Bowles, president of
the American National; Bank,, on May 28,
relative. to the lack of grain in the ware
houses and the - hasty - request of Josua
Eppinger for, his back salary. '

SEES STORM APPROACHING.
Q. — There were two months, from March 31
to May 31, which were not covered by this
Item. How do you account for that? A. —
Josua wanted to balance his account for six
years. .-.„",.
Q.— What is the debit charge as shown by.
that book against Josua Eppinger on May 31?
A.— $56,329 12.
Q.— Do you know what that means? A. — It
means that he has been charged up with that
sum for various owlngs of cash which he had
withdrawn during the period covered by that
entry.
Q. — The effect of crediting your sen with
$42,000 on May 31 was to offset the debit col
umn of Josua Eppinger, w.as it not? A. — Well,
he owed that much less. \ ¦ . . -
Q. — How do you explain that entry, credit-
Ing your son with $42,000? A. — On or about
May 31 Josua came to me and said he would
like to get what was coming to him on the
books and I wrote a note to the cashier tell
ing him to give him what was due him ac
cording to his credit account. Josua carried
the note to the cashier.
er on some suspicious entries as follows:
Q. — On the account of Josua Eppinger there
are debit charges from June 1, 1901, to May
29, 190»r The only credit, charge is the item
$12,600 which has been carried over from an
old ledger. But on the credit side of the
account for May 31, 1903, there Su the entry:
By expense account — Salary from February 28,'
1897, to March 31. 1903, at $7000 per year,
total $42,000. Now is it not a fact that for
the • last six years Josua Eppinger was I not
credited with any salary? A.— I see no credit
on the books.
. Q.— Did you ever • ascertain how the dis
crepancy wa 8 accounted for In the bcoks? A. —
No. I never did.
Q. — When did the firm of Eppinger & Co.
last take an account of assets and liabilities?
A. — So long ago that I have. forgotten. Not
within ten years- at least.
; Q.— Did you ever ask for it? A. — Yes, I
asked my brother Jacob several. times, but he
told me to leave things alone. ',
' Q. — Then could you say at the end of this
year 'Whether the firm lost or gained? A. — I
could only guess. ' I observed In a rough way.

nounced that he. had closed the examina
tion of Herman Eppinger. He asked that
a subpena be served on P. E. -Bowles
of the American National Bank to ap
pear, with the securities and notes- he
had received from | Her/nan Eppinger at
the next sessions which will take place
on Thursday, July * 30. • Jacob Eppinger
will probably be on hand at that time
to testify. i / . ¦;¦".,•-. '— ; ;.'> :;.V'!/
. The admissions were then drawn forth
that for some. time before the firm went
to the wall it was the custom of Jacob
Eppinger to draw on his account without
any entry being made against him on the
books. • Eppinger: also admitted that for
at -least, ten years no balance sheet had
been struck at the end of the year's busi
ness. -His answers follow: ;
Q- — Was anv one other than, a member of
the firm authorized to draw checks from the
firm. on their account? A. — No.
• Q. — Did it ever come to your knowledge that
a member, of the firm , was drawing checks
without " the amount being placed against his
name on the debit column of nls account?
A. — Yes, my son spoke to "me about it about
a month before the failure. .
Q.— Isn't It a fact that as far back as last
October you first heard of this practice? . A.—
I do not remember dates.
Q. — Did. Josua investigate the amount of
these 'uncredlted drafts I on • Jacob's .account?
A. — He was doing so when the failure came.
' Q- — You say that you 'have 'always taken an
active cart in the business of the office and
yet- you did not investigate It2 - A. — I left
that to my son. Ettllnger spoke to Jacob
about It also.

Q. — Was there any arrangement made as to

Q. — But were not Ettllnger & Co. In the
same business as your firm — did they not do a
grain business also? A. — They dealt only in the
purchase and «a!e of options on wheat; we
dealt in the wheat Itself.
Q. — Bid your son devote himself entirely to
the business of your firm during, the last seven
yeare? A. — No; he had Interests with ¦ Et
tllnger & Co. as a partner. 1 After the organi
zation of that firm he looked after their Inter

Attorney Frelfienrich v opened the' in
quiry with questions' eliciting the infor
mation that the witness was 61 years of
age and had been actively connected with
the firm of Eppinger & Co. up to the time
it closed its doors on June 6. The ques
tions and answers of the examination fol
low categorically:
Q. — State th« duties performed by each
on« of th« members of the' firm during the
last ten years. A. — The business was conducted
almost entirely by Jacob Eppinger. . I attended
to the correspondence, the selling of grain on
the samples and the. Exchange. .
Q. — What were the specific duties of* Jacob
Eppinger?- A. — He directed the whole busi
ness, the purchase or grain, financiering and
call board business.
Q. — There wer« regular books . of aecounl
kept? A. — Tes. . - • .
Q. — What were the names of the several em
ployes and what were their duties? A. — W. W.
Topping was the bookkeeper of the grain ac
counts; F. Mitchell was general bookkeeper;
Jomia Eppinger kept "tab on the .foreign mar
kets, made up the grain tables and had charge,
of foreign sales; C. Lengton had charge of the
examination of samples -of ft-aln; E, Bes&o.t
made out the cipher tables; Joseph Eppinger
was carhler; L. Friedlander was office bey.
Q.— What salary did Joeua Eppinger receive?
A. — I think that he received ?300 a month up
to 1897, and then his salary was raised to $7000
a year. .
At the opening, of the examination at 10
o'clock Attorney Ach made the statement
that Jacob Eppinger, the senior member
of the firm, whose testimony was to be
taken first, had been unable to attend the
first session of the inquiry/ on account of
a sudden illness which had overcome him
at his home on Wednesday night, but
that as soon as he was able to be out- he
would make his appearance . before the
referee of bankruptcy. The testimony of
Herman Eppinger was then commenced,
and it occupied the entire time of the ses
sion.
examination commenced yester
day morning by^the attorneys represent
ing the, interests of the creditors in the
office of Milton J. Green, referee In bank
ruptcy. Eppinger admitted facts which
prove that when the shadow of impending
disaster fell over the doomed firm one
member at least made a strong effort to
e'ear a comfortable sum to his credit be
fore the crash. Further it was discovered
that for an Indefinite time previous to the
failure of the firm checks on his indi
vidual account were drawn by Jacob Ep
pinger without any record of such trans
actions appearing on the debit side of his
accounts in the books of the firm. »It was
finally admitted that as far as the wit
ness, Herman Eppinger, knew no trial
balance of the financial standing of the
firm had been made for the last ten years.
If the testimony given by Herman Eu
pinger can be taken as an indication of
the statements which are to be made by
other members of the firm whose exam
ination is to follow, it appears that when
all the evidence is taken by the attorneys
for the creditors there will be little of the
mysterious business transactions of the
firm' which will not be brought to light.
David Freidcnrich of the law firm of
Naphtaly, Freldenrich & Ackerman, as
representative of Receiver Henry Wads
worth, conducted the examination. Alfred
Sutro, Richard Bayne and H. G. Platt,
attorneys representing various banks who
are creditors of the bankrupt .firm, were
in, attendance to listen to. the testimony
of the witness. Henry Ach, the legal ad
viser of the Eppingers, accompanied his
client to instruct him in his rights.
