CLAIMED THEY WERE ANXIOUS TO FIGHT M'GREEVY. THEY DID NOT WANT'TO SETTLE It is Said on Very Good Authority That the Losers In the Defunct Elkhorn Valley Bank at O'Neill Were Anx ious to Push Cases , It Is learned on good authority from persons In Norfolk today from O'Neill that the reports sent out from Hassett regarding the dismissal of the Me- Groovy case , did not present the true attitude upon the subject so far ns the depositors and losers in the defunct Elkhorn Valley bunkVcro concerned , and it Is said reliably that , Instead of. desiring to hCttlo their losses with Me- Groovy and trade him his liberty , as had boon reported , the doposltors in that wrecked bank wore ready and anxious to push with a vim the cases against MeGreovy. It Is said that the overtures looking to a settlement were made not by the prosecuting witnesses and depositors , but by the defendant's attorneys. They , it Is &nid , asked for an adjournment mont of court or an extension in order to effect n settlement. No objection was offered to the ex tension , It Is claimed , by the state's attorney , and later the case was dis missed because ot the attempts at a settlement. The reason that the depositors have had such a dilllcult time all along has - DUUIl , Ik 19 IVUIIIUU , UIU HIUIV Ul ojriiijia- thy on the part of certain persons needed in the prosecution , nnd it is said that the depositors and the friends of the depositors very deeply deplore the fact that the cases could not bo pushed vehemently in the courts. It is a well known fact , of course , that repeated overtures had come from tbo defendant between the time of the bank wrecking and the time of the trial , so that this adds weight to the statement now that the overtures nt Hassott originated with the defendant. It will bo recalled how letters were written by Mrs. Haggerty nnd others , offering to settle the cases out of court , a year ago. With this phase of the matter brought out , those who had censured the depositors for seeming selfishness in trying to recover their losses , re gardless of right and wrong , will take a new view of the mutter and their criticism will turn to sympathetic re sentment.
