commenced 1 Wednesday. It begins to
look now as though there would be no
further delays In the trial of Mr. Wataon
who la under indictment here on a cha gii
of killing John 8. Patterson commis-
sioner of banking and insurance.
Eldfed McKinnonV the State bank ex-
aminer who was present when Patterson
was killed occupied the witness stand
all day. His testimony was partially a
review of the .evidence given at the
habeas corpus hearing before Justice
Harper for the release of Watson on
bond.
He testified that he went to Teague In
Hay to examine the two banks there.
Found at that time that the bank with
which defendant was connected in what
he considered an Insolvent condition.
Made a thorough examination of the
bank. Classified about !260uO of assets
carried in the bank as bad. There were
a number of other doubtful notes. Re-
quested J. E. Watson to call up Tax
Watson and tell him to come down and
meet Witness so that 'condition of bank
could be explained it seeming that ) e
Taz Watson) had never attended any of
the meetings of the directors. Personally
phoned to Taa Watson. Was told he
lived at Btewarts Hill. Kaid he knew ab-
solutely nothing about tho ban.k; left it
to T. R. Watson and the boys to run.
Told Tas his bank was busted and unless
he got some money there the bank would
automatically close itself. Taz Watson
said. "I reckon not. I guess she will run
along." S. E. Tucker another director
said he did not knew anything about the
running of the bank.
WATSONS PROMISED
TO PUSH COLLECTIONS.
The Watsons said they would push col-
lections all possible to put the bank in
better shape. They were deficient In
their cash reserve in May l it 16. IV per
cent of the deposits. Capital stock of
the bank in question was 160000. De-
posits 1117474; cash on Imnd "124
They should have "had $S77ti. approximately-
more than they did have on hand.
After the May examination he visited
the bank he believed mi August 22.
Tatterson went with witness to bank. At
that time bank was deficient 3 per cent
approximately. They had '1 per cent re-
serve approximately; should have had 15
per cent reserve: demand deposits
amounted to 101 780.62: hail actual cash
on hand $1704.73 and some cash items.
Should have had on hand $ir267.09; were

ness made out statement submitted it to

ceivable. Including notes.
PRIVATE NOTES

Patterson stepped In private room ex-
amined notes; shortly called to witness
to examine the notes. Patterson made
inquiry as to certain notes 'that were
missing which were never found so far
as witness knew. Missing notes inquired
about amounted to Il2.71.vn2. Patterson
took out a batch of notes tie was examin-
ing. Witness gave a receipt to W. R.
Watson. Comparisons of handwriting
weer made. T. K. Watson was present
from time to time. Was there from
Tuesday till Friday at the Farmers and
Merchants bank off and on. Gave some
attention to the other bank at Teague.
Made up a detailed statement of the con-
dition of Farmers and Merchants bank.
Patterson on the day of the killing
went to the back door and said: "Haven't
you some keys to the building?'' No re-
sponse was made and finally he got a key
to the front door. Patterson came in
behind the fixtures and said to witness:
"Get that notice that 1 have written that
is in your pouch and paste Is up on the
door." Witness went to pounch and got
the notice and asked K. Watson for
some mucilage smeared it on the notice
and started out in Iront of the door. Mr.
Patterson had gotton out in front of the
door.
IN ACT OF POSTING
NOTICE ON DOOR.
'I was in the act of posting the notice
on the left hand side of the door." said
the witness. ' The right hand side of
the door was open. Mr. Patterson was
on the outside facing the Watsons and

tre time asking Mr. Patterson to leave
the bank open and .Mr. T R. Watson was
nsUng him to come ba k into the build-
ing. Mr. Watson said 'ecme back I just
want to talk a little bit more with ou.'
Mr. Patterson uaid No I will not do it '
Mr. Watson said. Come back I just want
to talk little bit more. Mr. "uterson
said 'No gentlemen w- have been talk
ing about it for the last two years and
to no avail and i i in t ao anyinmg to
day.' Then I heard Mr. T. R. Watson
say. 'Well you won t do it?' And raw
