The verdict was reached on the third bailot. U. S. Attorney Greeted. The men, who were the ranking officers of the First National when | the reports were submitted, pushed | through the crowd to shake hands with Guy K. Bard, Special Assistant Attorney General, who presented the Government's case. Bard said he had no comment to make on the verdict or on whether it would have any bearing on trial of 31 other bankers indicted last Sum- mer on similar charges. April 16 has been set tentatively for the opening in the same court of the trial of Donald R. Sweeny, Edwin J. Eckert and John R. Bodde, former officials of the Peoples Wayne County Bank, . |'who are charged with making a false entry. The indictments were an aftermath of the collapse of the Guardian Union group and the Detroit Bankers' Co., gigantic Detroit holding companies, whose affairs were investiagted by the Senate Banking Committee.

Ballantyne, Hart and Chittenden were charged with false listing, $212,- 000 advanced to two junior officers of the bank for the purchase of stock in the Detroit Bankers Co. under “notes and discounts” in their reports. The Government charged the stock was bought for the bank to recoup & tion and that the transaction should have been entered under “stocks, bonds, and other securities” owned . | by the bank. The defendants were indicted on three counts. The maximum penalty on conviction would have been $5,000 fine and five years’ imprisonment on each count. In his instructions to the jury Judge Ernest A. O'Brien said: “It is reasonable to conclude that the stock was the stock of the bank in essence and in fact, but it does not follow, because of this, that the * % The issue is whether the entry was made with the purpose of deceit and fraud. * * ¢ I think there the testimony fairly and reasonably shows there was no intent or endeavor on the part of the defendants to conceal what they purposed to accomplish.” e Lecture Is Canceled.
