Hesse for Arlsoaa last
Heath.
(From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Dec. SpeclaL "I was
only sn employe of the Elkhorn Valley
bank snd am therefore not responsible
for Its debts," said Bernard McGreevey.
president of the defunct Institution at
0 Nelll. this morning as he was being
tsken beck to O'Neill from Phoenix. Arix..
by Sheriff Hall. He expects to be ab'e
to prove his statement and to be released
from any liability and from criminal pro
e ution.
McGreevey looks the picture of health
and seemed to l In very good spirits. He
put on an unconcerned air, though st the
same time there wa sn undercurrent of
nervousness sppareut. He talked enter
tainingly of his trip to Arisona and of the
future of that country, and tried to show
that be was not concerned about his own
future.
"The more the people investigate the
bank failure." he said, "the mor will
they sympsthixe with me. I was work
ing on a farm and Hkgerty. who owned
and controlled the bank, put me in as
bookkeeper. I knew nothing about books,
but Anally learned a little about It. thouph
st all times Hagerty was the man who
sttended to the business. About a week
before the bank closed I saw thst the
cash waa too low and got scared, because
1 was the school district treasurer, as well
as the city treasurer, and knew that I
could not get that money should a call
be made for It. About this time a call
was Issued for a statement by the State
Banking board. Hagerty made out a
statement which was not true and wanted
me to sign it ss president of the bank.
I refused and we had a fuss and I quit.
That same afternoon I turned over a farm
I owned to help pay what was due the
school district and the city. I then pulled
out for Anions to hunt a Job, Just like
anyone else would do.
"I did not try t disguise myself in sny
wsy or to hide my identity. I was per
sonally acquainted with th son of th
chief of police of Phoenix, and when 1
met him on the street I knew him and I
knew that he recognized me. He told his
father and the latter came down and ar
rested me. When he showed me the card
with my picture and description on It I
told him I was the man he wanted. lie
was very much disappointed when he
failed to find at leant fZo.Onn on me. Some
newspaper reporter wrote a story that I
had turned over that amount of money
to tbe chief and It was published, but It
waa absolutely false. I hav no money
except about 6ii0 that the entir family
has saved up.
"I do not feel In any way responsible
for the bank's failure, as I was president
In name only and never at any time did
I know anything of the affaire of the
bank. When I left I supposed the bank
waa running along all right.
"I know nothing about the appointment
of the receiver and hav not heard of
Hagerty since I left CXelll. The PhoenlT
authorities thought because they had ar
rested me there that Hagerty w;is around
class, but I think they hsve given up that
idea. I have no Idea where Hagerty la.
"What beoame of the money in the -bank
I do not know. 1 was to receive a salary
of ISO a month, but never a year have I
drawn out the full teno due me. 1 Just
barely drew enough money to keep my
family, and I supposed that was what
Hagerty waa doing."
Mr. McGreevey waa asked concerning th
third man In the deal, but declared he
knew nothing of any third party and. In
fact, knew nothing about the affairs of the
bsnk.
Sheriff Hall said McGreevey had come
back with him without any trouble and
expresaed his satisfaction when Hall came
for him. Since leaving O'Neill he had
been In Phoenix or near that vicinity.
When he resched Phoenix he had a cer
tified check for 11,000 and when arrested
still had something over t0. He was taken
to O'NelU this afternoon.
Crowd Awaits MrSreerr.
O'NEILL. Neb.. Dec. 2. A crowd of 30t

No violence was offered McGreevy, al
though the crowd pressed e lose to the car
riage In which be was taken from the depot
to Jail. Many of those present were de
positors In the bank, who had lost nearly
all they possessed. McGreevy was plainly
apprehensive. He will have his preliminary
hearing tomorrow.
