MATTKR l TIIK DISTRICT tOl HT
Several, Motions Plied In Ms bray
Cases.
Thers were several new filings In the
district court yesterday In the Mabray
"Mike" suits. In Ihe suits brought by
.Tames F. Webber of Shamokln, Ta.. who
claims to have lost $5,000. and Oeorge F.
Castle of Brltt, la., who claims to have
been fleeced out of $5,000, motions on the
part of ths defense for ordera to permit
the taking of depositions of witnesses In
Shamokln and Brltt were filed.
In the Webber case. In support of the
motion. It Is stated that the defendants.
th First National bank of Council Bluffs
and others expect to prove by the testi
mony of the witnesses whose depositions
It Is desired to take, that Webber was dl
rected to appear at the First National
bank In Council Bluffs by an officer of
the bank In Shamokln, at which he was
customer, and that Webber misrepre
sented to the bank In Shamokln the pur
pose of his visit to Council Bluffs and
that the representations made to his local
bank were Identical with those mRde to
the First National bank of Council Bluffs;
that the checks transmitting his funds
from Shamokln to Council Bluffs were
drawn In accordance with the ordinary
rules of banking and that Webber was
Identified as the proper person by his local
banker In Shamokln. The defendants also
stale that they further expect to prove
that Webber was guilty of gross fraud
In his transactions with the bank In this
city.
In the Castle suit the defendants state
they expect to prove by the testimony of
the witnesses whose depositions they Wish
taken In Brltt, la., that Castle obtained
a letter of credit and Identification from
the First National bank of Brltt,' which
he presented at the First Natiorlal bank
of Council Bluffs, a copy of which Sas
attached to the answer ot the bank In this
suit that Castle represented and pretended
that the purpose of his visit to Counotl
Bluffs was to purchase a controlling, In
terest In a .good bank In this locality, and
that at no time did he make any mention
of the fact that his visit to Council Bluffs
was In connection with any horse race.
The defendants further state that they ex
pect to prove by these witnesses that
Castle was Indicted during the latter part
of 1908 by the grand Jury of Jackson
county on charges of keeping a gambling
house and gambling, to which he pleaded
guilty and paid the fines assessed against
him by the court.
Castle filed a motion asking that the
court strike out a portion of tho answer
and counter charges of the First National
bank and other defendants. Ho asserts
that the answers and charges contain
"false, redundant, irrelevant and Immater
ial" matter and statements of no sub
stantial relation to ths defense of this
action and are covered In the general denial
In the answer, and that they are merely
conclusions of law and matters of evidence
only. ;
A like motion on behalf ot the plain
tiff Was filed In the suit of M. Jackman
of Minneapolis who claimed to have lost
$3,000 on an alleged fake wrestling match.
The district court grand Jury, which con
vened last Tuesday, adjourned yesterday
noon until Monday, September 13. Before
adjourning It reported two more Indict
ments which, however, were . not made

fendants named In them were not under

ler divorce suit, which had held the at
tentlon of the court for practically the
entire week Judge Woodruff adjourned
