Motion to Quash
Indictment of
Bankers Argued
True Bill Against W.
Mathew arid M.F.'Shafer
Assailed Attorney Gen
eral Confident.
Motions to "knock, out" indict
ments 'against W. V. Mathews, for
mer president of thenow defunct
Pioneer State bank', and against M.
F. Shafer, former officer of the
Amj,nVin tat hank, wer heard
yesterday by 'District Judge Troup.-1 hut rather for the other officers who
Indictment '-against Mathews' al-1 allowed him to borrow the money,"
"The entry was a manufactured
Instrument to deceive," declared Mr.
Dorsey. "It was used to make the
bank reserve legal." That this check
for $U,200 was kited, between the
Omaha institution and one in Den
ver, i the contention of Mr. Dor
sey. Mr. Smith filed an elaborate brief
with his motion to quash the indict
ment, which Mr. Dorsey said he
would answer with another brief.
, Demurrer Filed.
The wording of a state statute
which provides that "no officer in a
bank, shall be permitted to borrow
money from the bank," was the
basi of arguments of F. S. Howell,
attorney for Shafer, in a demurrer
tiled against the indictment against
Shafer.
"The statute as it is worded does
not provide for the punishment of
the officer who borrows the money,
Irees he embezzled money and funds
from the Pioneer State bank total
ing $200.000. . V .
The indictment is 'insufficient un
der the contention of Ed. P. Smith,
counsel for,;' Mathews, who filed a
motion to t have , ihc indictment
Tuashed. Mr. Smith 'declared tlie in
dictment does not charge that the
money embezzled is-' in Mathew's
possession, that it docs not charge
that the money has been converted
to Mathew's useandithat it does not
charge Jhat . the money, and funds
were obtained Uy Mathews by virtue
of his,posijion wjth tjie hank, .
Outraged Public Sentiment.
"I realize there was an outraged
public sentiment which remanded ac
lion inxDougtascQngty." said Mr.
Smith. .i"If ,thrcourts,"( however, can
not-arrive at7a planev above public
sentiment I'll.q'yit practicing law." ,
An argumentcnsuciL.over the en-'
try. on the bank's' ledger of a check
for $12,200, Tfihich V.vC Dorsey, spe
ciaf'tounscl Jpr.hjstate's attorney .
general, decUre'd-'w'a's'a-false entry.
said Mr. Howell.. "There is no stat
ute. which makes the officer borrow
ing the money guilty of a crime. You
can indict the men permitting the
oan." . t 1
"The indictment against Shafer
charges that while an officer of the
American State bank he "feloniously
borrowed money from the institu
tion." One count of the indictment
charges he feloniously borrowed
$10,000. .
Judge Troup seemed to take ex
ception to Mr. Howell's stand.
"Suppose we take the case of
shooting prairie chickens out of sea
son?" inquired Judge Troup.
" "I'm. not a shooter," replied Mr.
lTowcl1, "but I'd say that the state
officer 'who granted a permit for a
hunter to shoot chickens out of sea
son would be as guilty as the hunter,
or more so."
Attorney General Davii yesterray,
sajd he ..had , no fear that 'all in
dictments rendered bythe last-grand
jury, will stand against all motions
to quash and demurrers. Hearings
were continued in the afternoon.
