The separate answers of the First Na
tlonal bank of this city. Ernest E. Hart,
president of the bank; John J. Splndler,
cashier of the bank, and Ernest E. Hart
(Incorporated) were filed yesterday In the
district court In the suit brought agalnet
them by Oeorge F. Castle of Brltt, la.,
one of the allcRed Mabray "Mikes" who
claimed to have been fleeced out of 15.000
on a fake horse race In this city on Sep
tember 22, 1908.
This Is the first answer filed by the
bank, and Its officers In any of the sev
eral suits brought against them by the
Mikes." who claimed have been vic
tims of the Mabray gang. Consequently,
this Is the first time that the bank and
Its officers have made public their aid.;
of the story of their connection with the
alleged victims of tho "swindling syndi
cate." The answers in 'he other suits yet to be
filed, while they necessarily will vary
somewhat as to details, will, according to
the statement of Harl ft Tlnley, attor
neys for the bank and Its officers, be
substantially the same.
On behalf of the hank and Ita officers,
specific denial Is made or any connection
or confederation with the persons named
In the plaintiff's petition, namely J. C.
Mabray and his alleged associates, or that
they were engaged In or had anything to
do directly or Indirectly with the allegsd
swindling gamra or devices for the pur
poses alleged tn plaintiff's petition. What
ever transactions the bank and Its offi
cials had with the plaintiff were solel,
of a commercial character, as occurs dally
In the course of regular business.
Bank's Side of Case.
The bank's story of Jts transaction with
Castle is set forth in the answer as fol
lows: Tnat on or about the lith day of Sep

sented thai lie uesired pa be provided witn
said ceriliticate ot deposit to enable him
to maie a puyrnent on the purcnase of the
controlling inicresr In some small bank
in tnis locality ; mat said false and fraud
ulent Blaitnieiua were so made by the
pluintllf tor tne wilful and fraudulent pur
pose of ueoeiving the otficera of defend
ant bank mat tne piaintltf was a siranfcor
to the defendant; that his letter of in
troduction was presented In person and
notning lo vouch for Us genuineness; lhat
it was indefinite as to amount ami In ac
cordance with the general rules of bank
ing the defendant declined to cash Ills
check and furnish htm the certificate of
rianoxlt tnat ha reo nested; that he repre
sented that he wa a stranger and knew
no one who could tdentiry mm as oemg
the -Identical person referred to In the
letter of the First National bank of Brltt;
that the defendant was not acquainted
with the signature of the president ol tn
First National bank of Brltt and had no
meana of determining whether or not suuu
signature was genuine; that thereupon tne
plaintiff announced that he would send
to tho First National bank of Britt for
bank drafts; defendant farther says that
on or about the 16th day of September,
1U09, the plaintiff wrote a letter lo said
First National bank of Brltt, requesting
the sending of bank dratts to him tor

said bank mailed one draft drawn by it
on thfe commercial National Dana ot ini
cago lor $.t,0uu and a draft drawn by 11 on

for 2,uou, that eacli of said uwitts was
dated September li, IMS, and payable lo

day Of September, ltsjs, the piaintltf again
visited delendam bank and requested lha
defendants to accept said drafts endorsed
-by him, in exchange for a certificate of
UL-Dosit: tnat the defendant had no ae
uualntance with the piainuff other than
was gained from his false and tradulent
story and had no means oi knowing
whether or not the plaintiff was In fact
tne person he represented himself to be or
whether or not he was In fact the Identi
cal person who was named as payee In
said draft, or bad the defendants had a
knowledge of whether or not the drafts
were In fact genuine drafts drawn by the
First National bank of Brltt, nor did tne
defendants have any knowledge of whelnwr
or not such drafts were drawn on funds
available for the payment; thai because
of these facts the defendant ueclined to
make payment of said drafta until the
piarfiilitf should be identified, und until the
drafts should be shown to be genuine and
thai the funds necessary for their pay
ment were available for thai purpose and
to the- credit of the issuing bank; that on
