Accuses Bailinger Attorney Jerold L. Finch, contin- uing his sensational testimony this morning tavolving Judge C. H. Han ford and Former Secretary of the Interior R. A. Ballinger in what he alleged to be a fraudulent bank- ruptey proceeding, made the direct arge that Ballinger, as attorney, represented both parties in negotia- tions between Heckman & Hanson, shipbuilders, and the Scandinavian American bank Finch said that Ballinger nego- tiated a $5,000 joan as attorney for Heckman & Hanson, shipbuilders, from the Scandinavian American bank. Heckman wanted the loan for five years at $1,000 and author- ized Ballinger by a power of attor |ney to sign such a note, Finch said Heckman later discovered that Bal linger signed only a three-months note for the mosey, and while this matter was being straightened out, raid Pinch, the firm of Heckman & Hanson was allowed to draw on the bank for repairs to a steamer “Alice,” on which the bank had a $20,000 mortgage. linger Sued Former Clients When the bank wanted Heckman & Hanson to allow it to libel the ship, on some claim, and this was refused, the bank determined to ruin the firm of Heckman & Han son, Finch declared, and Ballinger threw down his former clients and ap ed as the bank's attorney Suits were started by Ballinger to recover the $5,000 due on the note and some $6, r more drawn by Heckman & Hanson for repairs on the “Alice,” but now claimed as overdrafts on the firm's deposits Several other suits were started at the instigation of the bank, Finch alleged.
