State's Evidence in the Oass County Bank
Case.
HAVENS' ACCOUNT WAS OVERDRAWN
Hnlf the Money He
Due ( lie Hunk I mane Ulckvrxon'a
I'nrt In ( In * Concern' *
The defense gat very much the best of It
In the trial of the Dlckerson case yester
day , and the evidence was secured from a
witness for the state. '
The complainant In the present coee against
Mr. Dlckerson Is S. N. Havens , a baker at
Atlantic , who deposited $71 with the Cass
County bank on the day before the announce
ment of a receiver was made. In the pro
ceedings yesterday the bookkeeper of the
bank , O , S. Montgomery , testified to the
making of the depsslt by Mr. Havens. That
opened the \\ay for the defense to Inquire
Into the condition of the account on that
day , and It developed that his account was
overdrawn and that he was Indebted to the
bank In the sum of $37 , The state made an
effort to get the evidence refused , but Judge
Smith admitted It. Ho aild that it Havens
owed the bank It could not be considered a
felony for the bank to collect or receive Its
own money.
The entire forenoon was taken up In the
Identification of n cartload of books that
worn the property of the bank. These were
Identified by Mr. Montgomery. He Identified
ledgar No. 2 , showing the deposits from May
29 to December 27. 1SJ13. Entries In red Ink
showed liabilities to the bank , and these in
black Ink liabilities of tli ? bink. The wit
ness also Identified the dirrctois' book , a
number cf cash journals , letter copy books
In use In the bank for several years before the
failure , the stub draft book us'd In the bank ,
containing memoranda of drifts Issued. On
the Inside of the cover of this stub book wao
pasted a statement of the amount of drafts
of the bank outstanding , made by the wit
ness for the receiver after th ? lattcr'o ap
pointment from an examination of the
stubs.
INSIDE WORKINGS OP THE BANK.
Mr. Montgomery testified that the first
drafts of the tank that were not honored
by other banks ibegan to lit returned In Sep
tember and that the number Increased In
October and on until the failures of the bank
In December. Attorneys Brnce arid Boor-
man taxed their artist abilities In the prep
aration of a. diagram of the bank building ,
which was presented to the witness'fcr his
approval. Mr. Montgomery had some diffi
culty In recognizing the sketch , but fln.-illy
went over It and showed the location of the
different desks and articles of furniture In
the bank room.
On cross-examination Mr. Montgomery ad
milled that the rear room of the bank was
known usually as the "back room" and not
as the "directors' room. " It was used for
the meetings of the directors and was used
by one of the bookkeepers. It contained a
drinking fountain and wash sink and was
used by employes of the bank and by cus-
trn.ers. There was no privacy about the
room. Ho stated that the business cf the
tank was transacted by the cashier , an as-
slslanl cashier and n bookkeeper. The wll-
ness , as bookkeeper , kept the balance leJger ,
cash journal , general ledger and wrote up the
accounts from the stub books. Ho was kept
busy on the bocks during the day , which
were locked In the vault aftr office hours.
Directors had access to the books at any
time , but did no work"on them. Mr. Mont
gomery testified that His same books hadi
been offered In evidence In 'the Irlal of Ihe
case against Mr. Dlckerson at Glcnwcod
which resulted In an acquittal.
Turning to the account of Mr. Havens , on
whose complaint this action was brought
against Mr. Dlckerson , the wltners testified
that Havens had deposited $71 In the bank
on December 27 , 1S93 , the day before the
failure. He also testified that at the time
of the deposit Mr. Havens' account had bson
overdrawn $37.67. The state objected to the
Introduction of this evidence , but the court
ruled that there could ho nn nnpsilnn nn
the admission of the evidence. If the defence
could show that Havens was Indebted to the
bank there could ibe no doubt but that the
bank would be allowed to receive Its own
money.
Mr. Montgomery testified that It was
customary for the bank force to go out and
borrow currency from various parties from
time to time. On ono occasion he went
to the office of Isaac and E. J. Dlckerson and
secured a loan. He got this money from E.
J. Dlckerson , and did not see the defendant ,
Isaac Dlckerson. He testified that It was
curtomary for banks to secure currency
by drafts on their correspondents from time
to time.
time.HAD
HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH IT.
All of the witnesses for the state , thus
far , have testified thai , lo their knowledge ,
Isaac Dlckers-on had but llttlo If anything
to do with the management of the aftalra
of the bank.
Mr. Monlgomery , who was In the bank
all of the time during working hours , addon
hlo testimony to that effect. He tesllfled
that thq defendant frequently dropped Into
the bank In the morning and read the morn
ing papers , but did not usually stay any
length of time , and seldom had anything , to
say or do about the affairs of the banx
further than as referred to his own personal
account. Mr. Montgomery also stated thai
Mr. Isaac Dlckenon was not In Atlantic
very often during the year prior to the
failure of the bank.
Another point was scored for the defense
just before the adjournment of court. In
response to a qu eft Ion by Mr. Bruce , the
wltneto testified that a part of the writing
In the journal of the .directors was that of
Mr. Dlckerson , and the rest that of another
director of the bank. Tills had reference
to the writing on pages 33 to10 of tlrv
book In evidence. On cross-examination Mr.
Montgomery elated that the writing refer
red to was lhat of Mr. A. W. Dlckersan , ana
not that of Isaac Dlckersnn , and that there
was not a line of Iraac Dlckereon's writing
In the book In question. It was shown that
while other directors had written In the-
book , Isaac Dlckerson had taken no sucn
part In the bank's proceedings.
At 4 o'clock the court adjourned until
Monday.
Victim of MHterloux Injiirlen.
Dr. J. AV. Hemstead cf Carson was In the
city yesterday and brought with him the
rtory of a' mysterloup. assault upon Henry
Haux , a farmer of Silver Creek township.
Some of the neighbor ? of the farmer called
at his residence a fo.w days ago and being
unable to get a response to their raps on the
door wont to a window and looked In and
Haux was seen lying on his bed , dressed
and apparently dead. The door was broken
in and the man was found to be uncon
scious and barely alive. There were abundant
evidences that ho was raftering from serious
Injuries about the head , Medical arah'tancc
was called , but the man had not been re
vived sufficiently to give any explanation in
his condition. He lives alone on his farm ,
and the neighbors say he had not been seen
about the place for several days prior to his
discovery senseles * In his bed. The belief
It that ho was assaulted and robbca , al
though the neighbors think it barely possi
ble that he might have been kicked by a
horse.

Society was ctagnatcd last week , The re
covery from the gayetlcs of the holiday sea
son has been slow. During the week there-
were few events that arose sufficiently above
the ordinary to attract public gaze. Onei of
the most notable- occurrences was the golden
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. John Fox. Such
events are always Interesting , and doubly so
when the principals arc people for whom
everybody hasi a good word and who have
lived in this community for many yrars. All
of this Is true of the. worthy old couple who
celebrated the consummation of fifty years of
happily wedded life , surrounded by children
and friends In their comfortable cottage homo
ut 70S Washington avenue on Wednesday
evening. Colonel and Mrs , Fox have llvfrd In
Council Bluffs for nearly thirty years. They
were married In Plttsburg and came west a
pioneers. Both arc over 79 yeirs of ags nnd
have well rounded up their lives In olh'r ro-
snects. Thev have bad nrln * nn nnd sly
daughter ? , all of whom have brought credit
and comfort lo Ihem In Ihclr old age. Colonel
Fox Is ono of the in on promtnsnt and active
members of the Union Veteran leg'on and has
In many ways been prominently Identified
with public affairs. The golden wedding was
colcbratcd In the good old-foshlcncd way and
was most heartily enjoyed by all present.
A general open house was kept during the
afternoon and evening and hundreds of well-
wishing friends called nnd left the'r con
gratulations and other substantial tokens of
their esteem. The prercnts wcro handsome

apparently recovered from the attack , and
was thought to bo out of Immediate danger.
Ills death , therefore , was sudden and al
most entirely unexpected. Judge Wright had

chief justice of lho stnto. This office he
held until the ? reorgJntzallon of the supreme

sembly elected him to the senate an a mic-
cessar to James B. Howcll. Ho declined a
re-election , the duties and labors being less
congenial to him than lho work of his pro
fession. During lho time Judge Wright was

Is recognized as one of the strongest pro
hibition counties In the state , and , despite

Increase of 3i5 per cenl In the county In
three years. Only fix fmllons were used l > v
the doctors. If Cerro Gordo county Is taken
as the basis of estimation , It takes ever
40,000 barrels of liquor and 58,790 barrels of
