He sketched the history of the com pany's organization : and affairs" from the time of President Sabin's death up "to the time of Scott's election" to the presidency, and thenjturned the' fire of .his argumenttb. the* evidence/ attempt- Ing to shift the -load of suspicion from the shoulders of Glass to -those of Fish, .Pickernell, Scott and'Zimmer. v . \u25a0•*. .^ *X3ould that ' amount' of ' money." have been \u25a0 withflrawn < from'" the .company's treasury by Glass '"and Zimmer while Pickernell was hens and have remained «. secret without the sanction; author ity, knowledge and direction of {Pick - ernellT* he thundered.
