FIFTEEN CASES DISMISSED
UNDER RULINGS OF COURT
AN INSTRUCTED VERDICT 18 RENDERED IN TWELVE CASES
AGAINST HAWKINS—UNDER RULING PROSEOUTION DIS
MISSED TWO MORE FELONY CARQES.
(luurt eonvoned this morning
tit 10 a. ni.
In the matter of n motion for
an instructed verdict Judge Ly
ons held that the defendant had
committed no violation of the law
In paying certain depositors,
when he knew the hank to lie in
solvent and had been ordered by
the bank's vice-president, to
close its doors and apply for the
appointment of a receiver. The
proseeulion had failed In submit
any evidence to show that the de
fendant was KUiltv of the crime
with which he is charged.
Th«* court held that in view of
the failure of the prosecution to
show to the contrary the court
could not do otherwise than to
presume that the authority to
close the bank was vested in the
board of directors alone. Under
the evidence submitted for tin1
purpose of this motion there i^
nothing to submit to the jury,
Defendant's counsel will prepare
a verdict for the jury.
The prosecution took an ex
ception to the ruling and moved
to dismiss indictment against de
i ■■
fcndant anil J. A. Jackson for ••in- I
bezzleincnl. Granted.

2 o'clock this afternoon to try
