MR. GIBSON, ON BEHALF OF PR08ECUTI0N, OCCUPIED MAJOR
PORTION OF FORENOON, FOLLOWED BY TOZIER FOR THE
DEFENSE—COURT ROOM CROWDED BY SPECTATORS
Lato Saturday Session.
J. A. Jackson: I know of I lie
.statement made ly Ihe 2 airbautts J
Banking company in 1910. I
helped make up thai statement. I
From a directors statement and
the statement made tlx* year pre
vious. I took these up to Mr.
(Hark, the hank's attorney, and
asked him to prepare the state
ment, which tie did. t then left
it on Mr. Winn's desk, asking him
to sign up Ihe statement. II was
about the close of navigation and
we were in a hurry.
Ii. K .Wing was secretary and
assistant cashier of the Fair
hanks Hanking company. II was
one with Ihe clerk of the court
and senl the other to Juneau. I
asked Capt. Barnette to sign it.
tie took it for granted il was all
right and signed it. There was
positively no iuleul to defraud in
making that statement.
. Jno. A. (Mark, aitorncy-al-law:
I made onl tin* statement on a
stalcmcnt of conditions given me
and prepared in my oiViec. Mr.
Jackson brought, me Ihe slate
menl of lli,« bank for September
loih. IDUft. When il was pre
pared I sinned il and put my seal
on il and took it down stairs. The
figures in Ihe statement were tak
en from a directors' report.
Neither Mr. Barneth* or Mr. Wing
were rn and I left the paper and
went out and -Torgoi alt about the
matter. I don't know when the
statement was signed. . It is most
pleasing to know thai quite a
number of Fairbanks' people are
familiar with some of ihe Ten
Commandments.
Defendant rests.
The prosecution asked I hat
cases be continued until Monday
for argument.
Fink thought that the prosecu
tion were or should be as well
prepared to argue the ease after
a year's effort as he was aft/r
a few days.
The Court: I would like to
have time to prepare the instruc
tions. I think the case should be
presented t«» the jury as clearly
as possible. I believe it would
be In the advantage of all parties
to continue the case until ten
o'clock Monday morning.
Recess was taken until 7 :30,
when Mr. Kink begun an argu
ment to the court for an in
structed verdict.
Morning Session.
When the court assembled this
morning the room was crowded
to capacity, there being many la
dies ill the audience.
The grand jury was called but
made no report.
Mr. Gibson, on behalf of the
government, addressed the jury in |
the case against defendants Bar
net! e and Wring.
The issues involved are that
f»n the tOth of September, 1907,
made a certain report. Thai cer
tain items and statements made
in that report were untrue and
that defendants knew its untruth
fulness when they filed the docu
ment as prescribed by law.
After reviewing the as»Hs of
fhe bank Mr."Gibson took up the
Gold Ifcw stock as an asset, as
well as the stoek of the Washing
ton-Alaska bank of Washington,
lie held that these stocks were
held at an inflated value and for a
'purpose. lie also insisted that
the notes to the amount of 91 18.
