ITS END SEEMS NOT FAR OFF Uickcrson Trial Ooming to a OIoso Early In the Week. ACCUSED STANDS THE CROSS FIRE Slntc Tn1H tlir Ilrfniilnnt In Hum unit Srvliit < < 1'dtvc lll.i Ititwl- m > K Altllllr mill Ux- ix-rlonco. Thn Dlckcrson case Is ncarlng completion The defendant was on the witness stand nl day yGHterday , and the direct examination was completed. The cross-examination was taken up and was partly finished nt the adjournment of court. It Is thought now that the defense will complete thn prnscnta tlon of Its evidence on Tuesday , and that the casu may go to the Jury by Wednesday night On the witness stand yesterday morning Mr. Dckoron ! told nil about his movements during the fall and summer of 1S93. He testified that he was In Chlcngo on October 30 , the date that Witness Wllbern said he had business dealings with him in his ofllce nt Atlantic , and In the course of the trans action Mr. Dlckcrsou said that the Cass County bank'was In financial distress. After the election In 1893 Mr. Dlckcrson said ho went to Missouri on buslnc&s , am did not return until Christmas day. He was told that day by A. W. Dlckcrssn that the bank was In urgent need of ready cash Ho went to Davenport to raise some money In order to pay his Indebtedness to the bank Ho was not pucccsiiful In making the loan and came homo on the evening of the 2till of December , Ho then learned the con dition of the bank , and at once took the preliminary steps for the appointment of a receiver. , Mr. Dlrkcrsori testified that he was In Davenport In 1S93 In the fall , and when there met Yetzcr , to whom he said ho was trying to raise money with which to pay the Indebtedness of I. & E. J. Dlckerson to the Cass County bank. IIo dented that he had ever told Yetzor that ho didn't know whether he could keep the bank open all day or not. He testified that during the summer of 1S03 he visited the bank only occasionally and then had no part In the operation or management of the Institution , Ho walked home frequently , he admitted , with his son , A. AV. Dlckerson , but the subject of the solvency or Insolvency of the bank wns never discussed by them. The witness said that up to the 27th day of December , 1S93 , he necr for a moment questioned the solvency of the bank. Ho had never guaranteed any one's deposit for the purpose of Inducing people to deposit money In the bank. ON CROSS-EXAMINATION. The direct examination of the dpfcnse was completed at 2:30 : o'clock and Mr. Harl took up the cross-examination for the state. Ho first asked Mr. DIckarson about his business .career prior to 1S5G , when ho located at Lewis , In Cass county. Mr. Dickcrson testi fied that ho had been a member of a gen eral merchandise firm at Oskaloosa , nnd tint the firm made an assignment In 1850. He then came to Louis and closed out a stock of goods for an eastern firm and was elected county treasurer of Cass county In 1857 , and served , until 1SGC , and then engaged In the real estate business and had continued In that business ever since. Mr. Harl's purpose was to 'fchow that Mr. Dlckerson had a better knowledge of bookkcenlnc than had been In- dlcrted by the witness In his direct examina tion. Mr. Dickerson explained that his busi ness at that time , prior to 1879 , when he took a partner and went Into the abstract business , had been of a character that did not require 'tho services of a bookkeeper. After the partnership with John H. Wood , In 1879 , Mr. Wood kept all the books and ab stracts. In 1889 the firm of Isaac & E. J. Dlckcrson was organized , and E. J. Dicker- son took charge of the books. He was 29 years of ago at the time and had been employed In the county treasurer's oflicc and had worked In a bank for a num ber of years. The firm employed two men , an abstracter and n bookkeeper , nnd these were employedi until about the 1st of Jan uary , 1893. Mr. Dickerson testified that ho had been trewurer of Cass county , trustee of Cass township , postmaster at Lewis , and for one year had been surveyor of Cass county , and had also served ono term in the city council at Atlantic. Ho testified that the business ot I. & E. J. Dlckcrson amounted to from $25,000 to $40,000. The bulk of this business was with Casa county people and much ot the business was done through the Casj County bank. bank.BROUGHT BROUGHT OUT NOTHING NEW. Mr. Harl examined Mr. Dlckerson very closely on his part as a member of the com mittee appointed yearly to examine the bills receivable and note accounts of the bank. Nothing new was developed In the examina tion. Mr. Dlckerson reiterated his state ment that , ho had always accepted the rliow- ings as prepared by the officers of the bank nnd had no active part In the affairs himself. Ho had made no examination of the bank's accounts , as a member of the committee , olnce May , 1890. The etato was urgent In an effort to show that Mr. Dlckereon had knowledge of the Indebtedness of J. C. Yet- zer and other heavy debtors of the bank. On the Indebtedness of the firm of I. & E. J. Dlckerson to the bank Mr. Dlckcrson said he could not tell what the amount was , as the business from 1891 to 1891 had been conducted almost entirely by E. J. Dicker- son. IIo denied that ho had been pressed by tha bank for the money due from the firm. Mr. Harl made an unsuccessful effort to get the witness to admit that ho had no tice of the meeting of the stockholders of the bank In May , 1892. Mr. Dlckcrson was quite positive he had not attended a meeting that year nnd did not remember that ho had received a notice of the meeting. Ho was" in Missouri during most of the month of May , and then returned to Missouri In Juno and stayed away until In October. Ho then went to Chicago and then returned to Atlantic and made another trip to Missouri and returned to Atlantic some time In De cember. Mr. Dlckerson said that when Bank Ex aminer Copeland visited the bank In No- vombsr Mr. Yetzer sent for the witness , who was at the court house , IIo did net know for what purpose Yetzer wanted him , unless It was In connection with the proposed sur render of the bank's charter as a state con cern , Hot Ilt > il HIINII.

Only n > Sniiilt Portion nt Altinnnnpcr- Krf' * 1'ociiltitlonn Hvirmrtiti1 , Judge Smith has Issued a restraining order preventing the EAC ! ot the Duncan shoo stock , which was o have taken place yesterday. The order was Issued upon the application of the Citizens' State bank. In a petition filed In the cue the bank recited the giving of a chapel mortgage to the bank by B. M. Duncan for $2,000. On the same day , and prior to the recording of the mortgage , nn- ether mortgnRC had been given by Dunc.in to Joseph Farrcll for J9.000. Farrell took possession nnd advertised the stock for sale. The matter will now bo transferred to the district court. Additional attachments were Issued against the Duncan stock yesterday by John Stoortmnn for $105. Mllford Shoo company for J75.60 and by George E. Keith for $378.05. The Iowa Deposit nnd Loan company has commenced suit In foreclosure against four lots In the town ot Mlnden on a mortgage for $813.14 , given by Charles A. Altmnn- spcrger. The grand Jury completed Its labors yester day afternoon and was dlrcharged for the term. Seven Indictments wcro returned against C. A. Altmanppcrgcr , the defaulting manager of the Slefcrt & Wlese Lumber company at Mlndon. an account of whose peculations has been published. While Altmansperger's shortage will reach nearly $40,000 , the Indictments returned cover forgeries nggrcfiatlng but $2,000. All of the Indictments ore found on the same kind of transactions , the forging of fanners' names to notes made payable to the lumber firm for which Altmansperger war manager nt Mlnden. The notes covered n period from June , 1891 , to February , 189j. The victims of Altmanspcrgcr's educated pen named In the Indictments wcro : Jurgen Sager , $85.70 ; Peter Larger , $74.35 ; John Wolff , 123.40 ; L. Mlschler , $149.35 ; Fritz Schooling. $9G3.C3 ; Calvin Mailer , $111.10. It was these amounts , with many others , that Altmansperger had received In cash from thc- furmcrs and placed the money to his own use and signed the names of the farmers to the notes made payable to the lumber com pany. Upon the return of the Indictment ? bcr.ch warrants were Issued for Altmanspor- ger. Ho Is still In the Avoca Jail , and will remain there until his employers ascertain the extent of his embezzlements and fraud ulent accounting. Ho IMS shown a disposi tion , slnco his arrest , to aid the firm In get ting the accounts straightened out. His bond was placed by Judge Smith at $1,000 In each case. When Altmansperger was arrested he re fused to reveal the combination of the safe In his ofllco. His employers finally hired n blacksmith to do a'little authorized burglar izing , and the cash box was secured. II contained $210 In cash. The opening of the safe also revealed another scheme ot Alt- rr.&nsporger that must have proved profit able. He did a big Insurance business , and most of his patrons left their policies with Altmansperger for safe keeping. When the safe was opened none of the policies were found , and Altmansperger did not offer any light on the subejct. It Is now supposed that he pocketed the premiums , and that the par ties who supposed they had their property hi MI red now find that they were simply con tributing to the large fund that Charlie Alt- * mansperger .found necessary for his style cf living.

THE METCALF-BUSHNELL RECEPTION ' } TOO CnrntN I'reH lit. . nt < lu > llrllllntit nvont Tlie UiiUe-IlollfN AVfil- f Social' . NotvN ninl | A dash of snow , a' suggestion of winter , was all that was requlre'd to awaken Coun cil Bluffs society to a realization of the fact that the social wason was rapidly passing with but Ilttlo effort being made to take advantage of It. The Illtlo shift of snow paved the way for many social events and society aroused Itself from the lontj lethargy Into which It has fallen e'.nco the holidays. There were events of all degrees of Impor tance during the week , but perhaps none u > elaborate and extensive and attended by such an nrmy of people na the Mctcalf ru- ceptlon with Its 700 guests. As a general thing the society of any city resolves Itwlf Into many different coteries , but occasionally HJIIIO largo reception calls them all together. TlUs was especially manifested Friday even ing , when Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mctcalt and Mr. and Mrs. Drayton W. Uushnoil threw open the elegant homo of the Metcnlfs for the first time. The cilor pjheme wao pink and white and the guiding hand in the arrangement must have been an artistic ono of no moan ability. As soon as you pan < eJ Into the hall n scene of enchantment met the eye. The fragrarice of rows nnd carnations , the glow of dusky Oriental , draperies , tha sheen of palms nnd ferns that filled the vcstlbulo and wound up the quaint catved uUlrway nnd were banked to the celling In all the ntcovcD , gave , one the glimpse of what seemed to bo veritable fairyland. The gucatsi were tnettnt the dc < or by Harry Van Brunt and Hey DeVol acting as pigeh' . After divesting themEo'ves of their wraps on the upper floor w-lth the assistance ot Alma and Jossla Pontius , Maud and Ruby Bryant , they were ushered Into the parlor ? by Delia Metcalf , wbo was like a little fairy , gowned In a pink taffeta silk with valen- clenncs lace overdress. Hero they were re ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Drayton W. Bush- nell , Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mctcalf and Mist Collins. Mta Bushnell was charmingly nt- tlred In a black sflk Canton crepe with steel spangled sleeves , diamonds nnd carried a largo bunch of red Camellia , Japonlcas. Mrs. Metcalf was regal In n yellow silk with black chiffon overdress , Greek Jet trimmings , dia monds. Miss Collins looked glrlluh In a whlto silk and carried La Franco royas. Tile decorations of the parlors and library were superb. It feemcd as If all the greenhouses of Omahu and Council Bluffs had bean robbed to make this ono night beautiful. With the sift rose glow of 'the many llghta nnd the bewildering profusion i of roses , It should really have been -callod n rose reception. The mantels were banked to the celling with the rarest La' France rose ? , ferns and palms. The dining room was a glitter of silver and cut glabs. In the center of the refreshment table waa great mound of roses and'ferns. flankcd 'on either side' wlt'h large silver candelabrum' with pink wax candles and festooned with ropes of smllax , caught in place with Camellia Japonlcas. And hereby hangs a tale. Tht'soi rare camellias weroi a frlandshlp gift from aunny clime.ent to Mrs. Bushnell by' Mrs. Jackson and Miss Hlce. " The coffee table 'Vas' ' presided over In the early part of the evening by Mrs. I. M. Trey- nor , becomingly gowned In black silk skirt , blue silk wnitt , trimmings of fur ; diamonds. The Ice cream by-Mrs. McKune In an elegant gown of black crepe ; steel trimmings , dia monds. Later In the evening Mrs. Van Brunt served the cream In a Par's gown of black Indian crepe , diamonds. At the same time .Mrs. Henshaw served coffee , wearing a black satin skirt and heliotrope satin waist. In the library was a huge bowl , where punch was labled out by Miss Bennett In wh'tc mulle satin , ribbons , decollete ; Miss Archer , pink mullo duchess , decollete ; Miss Devol , white Paris muslin.
