IDENTIFYING SIGNATURE Considerable discussion arose over the proving of the signature as genuine, the defence contending that one who had seen Manager McGill write would be qualified to identify it.

He didn’t know whether Mr. McGill had said any- thing to Mr. Baxter to withdraw or not. Mr. Dickson said he haddrefused came in. Mr. McGill made a curt re- mark on the notice on. the wall reâ€" garding the bank, and then went out. Mr. McGill said Dickson was impertinent, and Dickson said he didn’t regret it. Dixon asked him if he were Mayor of the town. McGill said he had friends in town, who would stop witness coming here. Flurey was not in employ, and Mr Coulter was at Nestleton when Mr. Dickson arrived. He had withdrawals of money from July till the time the information was laid, of $55,000. It was estimated that 44,000 was added to Home Bank. ing.

MANAGER DICKSON The next witness questioned by Mr Dewart was Mr. Gordon Dickson, who repliei he hadnbeen with the Far- mers’ Bank 3 months after it had haV‘in-g' reached Lindsay 29th June. Mr. McGiil was still in charge when he arriVed. He handed Mr. McGill his letter of introduction, and the latter said there had been a. run. taken in Syracuse, N. Y. The re- sult was that it was absolutely set aside, and thrown out by grand jury. Mr. Stewart to Mr. Fitzgibbon -â€" Do ypu know or a suit against the Farmers’ Bank for $150,000.00. 100. that is par. The first $500,000 was sold at Pat, and second lot at $125.00. All the stock was subscribed for, but some was not paid for and cancelled. He had heard that the stock had gone down. The cheapest he had ever heard was $25.00. 'He didn’t know when it tumbled. Not 100 shares had changed hands in four montns He was not told by Mr Travers that it was sold for 17. He knew it had been sold for 45. once owing to circulars at the time. Mr. Fitzg'ibbon's replies to Mr. Dewart were that the lowest price to his knowledge Was 25. He thought it was worth 100 at 4 per cent per an- Mr. Fxtzgibbon knew nothing about the sale price of stock. The stock never was for sale, although ofiered in newspaper ads of brokers. He had never seen any Farmers’ Bank in THE LINDSAY POST proceedings were was sold at Mr. Stewart learned from Mr Hadâ€" don that he had been at Trenton and then went to Detroit after leaving the bank in the former place. He worked with the Brunswick Walker Calendar 00., and then was engaged to take a position as accountant in the Farmers’ Bank and to obtain all information for the Bank on this case Mr. Haddon had quarrelled with Mo- Gill, who had taken his lunch once. Coulter said when McGill was going around he had said he was open- ing a. branch of the Home Bank in Lindsay and solicited accounts. Coulâ€" ter had said Flurey was on a six weeks' vacation and McGill on a two weeks only n Haddon asked Coulter what the real reason was. He said both McGill and he were afraid as things were not right. Mr. McGill had been driving around the country. Coulter said he had $40,000 of the Farmers’ bank cusâ€" tom and would get all. @ The Witness replied to Mr. Dewart that he had read letters because he ( Wished to learn matters of routine, and wanted to know what position he was to take in the bank. ; MR. HADDON EXAMINED. Mr. Haddon, the next witness said ,' he was employed in the Farmers bank, ' in 1908, but had lately been in a De- troit bank. On 19th July he saw Coulâ€" ter and McGill and said he was surâ€" ' prised to hear he had left the Farm- ers’ bank. Mr. McGill said things: weren't going, and as stock was at 11 J a share, he thought he’d get out. He said he would soon have all their de- posits. Mr. McGill advised him to get into another institution, as he was a very young man. He quoted Mr. Farr. and said the banks were wanting clerks and there was a good opening. They were holding over $40,000 and Evans thought it should be about $15,000. Mr. Evans said to Mr. McGill that the Toronto branch was doing better than he estimated. Mr. McGill led Evans to believe that Mr. Travers was not a fit man to manage, and that he believed the bank was in difficulty, thinking the Toronto branch was not paying. Mr. Stewart tried to establish the idea that Mr. Evans read letters when he was in a. junior position and had no right to. Mr. Evans cross-examined by Mr. Stewart said he was doing part of the accountants’ work and had read a letter, one from head office, to Mr. McGill, about replacing Flurey. mcum tried to discourage him to call up the head office. Evans called it up. -Cheques were presented by J. J. Flurey, who was in the Home bank. Mr. Coulter didn’t bring any cheques in. fice Mr. McGill came in and wanted to talk first, but was not allowed. Mr McGill’ tried to discourage him to I Evans noticed that Flurey and Mcâ€" Gill would talk matters over in the office so he could not hear them. He noticed the Bank was holding more ‘ cash than should have been held for the business done here. Mr. McGill said they would need it because the people were alarmed and he was afraid there would be a run on the Bank. They were holding probably 3000 notes and 1000 cheques, which should have been cleared, and effected a waste in cash. Mr. McGill instructed him not to clear them, Mr. McGill said he was mistaken when he menu tioned he had heard that the Home 1 Bank was coming. Flurey came in with $17000 in cheques and Evans was told to pay them. This alarmed him' and he talked to General Manager ‘ Travers. When he got to telephone ofâ€" ‘ next, who is in the employ of the Farmers' Bank, coming to town on the 29th May. He is now at Nestleâ€" i ‘ton, but was in Lindsay in June as ledger keeper and accountant. He had asked for something to do and was told by Mr. MCG’lll to read a magaâ€" i zine, as he hadn’t any use for him. ' Evans thought he was to take Mr. . Flurey’s place, but didn’t. This was in the first week of June. He had tal- ked with Mr. :McGill, who thought it would be a matter of time before the Farmers Bank would be up. Later he said, he himself (Mr. McGill) would retire. ' . Dewart examined Mr. Evans 1‘11: Storm Was of ' Long Duration It was the longest storm that has visited this section in many moons, and fortunately very little damage resulted.

It was an anxious night for the nervously inclined, and many spent restless and sleepless hours until after five o'clock this morning, when the storm ceased. Last night about 8.30 a rumbling sound in the heavens hinted that a storm was approaching. It was not very long until the heavens darkened heavily, and by nine o’clock the sky seemed to be in open rebellion. The thunder rolled and lightning flashed, and the rain came down heavily. Ab- out ten o'clock the storm; abated somewhat, but those who labored under the impression that it had spent its fury were badly disappoints ed. i 1 Review: For some‘ reason or other [that is not explicitly stated, it is ‘ said, the striking.- crew of the G.T.R.
