who have been in touch with the

There wcrt jnt two explanation!
available here. One was that Cla

The other was that t!c itate

Reports from Blair that it would
be impossible to get a jury there
who would convict Claridge caused
a report here that prosecutirg officers
would endeavor to get change of

The same cheers and applause, be
fitting a returning hero, that was ac

Rusher, like Claridge, was the big
man of the town, was a piUar jn the

"So you: see the bank guarantee
law acts two ways," said, Jhe state of

had
paid $100,000 less.
When he was on the stand, Brict
son explained this $100,000 as his
estimate of the appreciation of his
property.
He admitted he arrived at this
conclusion by himself, without con
sulting real estate experts.
"I think it's worth more than
that; besides. I used to be in the
real estate business myself," he stat
ed. Records failed to include a $27,400
item for an addrcssograph and mail

"You wouldlM ' fnclude 'anything
vmi'Trlidn't find in a Russian leather
book, would ,yo"u?' inquired Gillef
scathingly. "As a matter of fact, my
client paid $40,000 for that list." ,
Gil er attacked tne accountants
for their statement in the report that
the Inventory of stock at the Brook
ings (S. D.) plant, given by Brictson
as $70,000, "was probably an inflated
value. . . .
Insurance is cited.
"We found only $17,000 insurance
on $70,000 worth of goods; that
speaks for itself," maintained the au
ditor. . i v
Brictson's testimony called forth
expressions of impatience from Judge
Woodrough when he failed to an
swer questions. .
Brictson answered, i aon t khow i
such questions as, "When was the
last sale of tires you mader , Uid
von ever sell to iobbers?" "Did
you ever buy any Liberty bonds
after the war?" "How much cash
has the company on hand?" or "Hpw
many tread tires were sold.'
' Bought Liberty Bonds.
Brictson admitted the company had
no cost system in use at the:iprooK-
ings factory
Attorney Mulfinger pursued an-in
nuirv trving to Drove that Brictson
bought Liberty bonds below par and
listed them in company assets at
100 cents on the dollar. He 'also
asked Brictson to show where he
credited the company with a bank
discount of almost $1,000 on a $20,000
note purchased from the .first Na
tional bank. While the price paid for
the note was only $19,021.67, it is
listed at its full figure- ,
Brictson said he would find a de
posit slip showing that' the (interest
was deposited to the company's credit
in full
Records Missing.
Brictson admitted that he had no
record of his purchase of .real estate
on which to build a factory,1 except
the check paid for it. He had no

Mrs. Brictson could always arrive
at that figure, he stated: nor did he
