The trial wn3 scheduled to get under way in the circuit court at Woodstock on Monday before Judge E. D. Shurtleff, bat by agreement between opposing counsel the trial was set ahead for April 4. On this date the trial of Norman O. Geyer and George Woodruff is scheduled. These two men were indicted with Nelson on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the closing of the Waukegan Stste bank. Nelson was granted a separate trial. The trial of-the three men was first set for January 11, but has been postponed several times since that date, making this week's postponement the fourth. i The organisation of a new bank in Waukegan, which has been under way ® * month, is, said to be the reason Cit the delay in the trial of the three men. It is the general opinion that if the new bank is organized then Nelson, Geyer and Woodruff will not go tc trial on the conspiracy charge .Nelson was tried aWWoodstock last December on a charge of misfeasance in office. After several days of taking evidence the court ruled that he had no jurisdiction in the matter and the jury was instructed *o return a verdict of not guilty. Last week McHenry county received a check for $2,400 in payment of the cost of the trial, which was brought on a change of venue from Lake county.. Auditor Nelson, defendant in the case, is not a candidate for re-elertion. State's Attorney A. V. Smith of Lake county, prosecutor in the case, is a candidate for re-election in his county.
