A. Yes, Q. After a conversation with some | person? A. Yes, the Comptroller. | Walsh was succeeded on the etand by Frank L. Grant, formerly president of |the Northern Bank. Richard W. Jones jr, former Vice- | President of the National Reserve Bank, | Wore that in May, 1910, he had had o |conversation with Cummins, and re- ceived from him an application for a loan for the Carnegie Trust Company and on his own behmif. The National Reserve Bank had thereupon made a loan to the trust company. Q. What was said at that time by Mr. Cummins with regard to city depostte? The defense objected to this question. WHAT STATE HOPED TO SHOW AGAINST HYDE. | “We prop: gald Assistant District- | Attorney Clarke, explaining, “to show that Cummins told this witness that If the National Reserve Rank made this loan to the Carnegie Trust Company he (Cummins) ld seo that his friend, | City Chamberiain Hyde, would make the National Reserve Bank a city de. | po: y. We propose to sow that the National Re Bank, acting on this Promise of Cummins, did make the loan to the Carnegie Trust, and that Just as soon as the loan was made Hyde did designate the National Reserve Bank as Just as his friend Cummins had promised. We propose to show that there were several similar transactions, and that whenever th red to pw money it could always do so by promising to make a city depository of the bank from which it borrowed the money. “In this way, Your Honor, we propose to show that the funds of the City of New York were always at the command of Rehcimann and Cummins, and that Hyde was always ready to go to their ‘ork's money, deposit. this money In a bank which had already promised to lend it to the Car- negie Trust Company, and Reichmann and Cummin John B. Stanchfleld, opposing the question, declared there was no proof that Cummins made these representa tions on the knowledge of Hyde, Justice Goff permitted the question to be an- swered. WHAT CUMMINS PROMISED IN IN NAME OF HYDE. “When Mr. Cummins applied for the loan for the Trust Company and for himself." Mr, Jones, the witness, sald, i me if we let him have $100,0¥. notes of $2,000 each, he wa: thinking of sending to us large accounts from other banks throughout the coun- try. He sald: ‘I think, too, I can in- fluence for you a large account from the city.’ I told him we already had a deposit of $10,000 from the city, but that we wanted more,”” Q. Was @ city’s deposit 11 creased immediately after you loaned Cummins this $100,000? &. I do not recall, X can look im my books and see. My recoll tion is that the city's deposit was not immediately increased. The State offered in evidence a city arrant to show that after the Na- tional Reserve Hank made the $100,000 loan to the Carnegie Trust Company the city’s deposit In the National Re- serve Bank was increased by $150,000. The paper was temporarily barred by Justica Goff, On cros#-examination by Mr. Steuer, Mr. Jones admitted that never, at any time, had he had any conversation ur communication with Mr. Hyde, and that Mr. Hyde himeelf had never prom- ised him a larger city deposit tn turn for the $190,000 loan to the Car negle Trust Company. Q. Did you make that loan because you thought It was safe? A, Of course, I thought the loan was safe, but I was, perhaps, influenced by the representa- tlons of Cummins that we would got valuable business a8 a result of mak- ing It. Q. (By Mr. Clarke) Were you in- fluenced in part by the hope of get- ting a larger city deposit? A, I was GOT MORE DEPOSITS, BUT DIDN'T SEE HYDE. William E. Holloway, formerly presi- dent of the Hungarian-American Bank. Q. In May, 1910, did Mr, Cummins ap- ply to you for a loan? A. Yes; several of the officers of the Carnegie Trust Company applied to us for a loan of {$10,00, Q. Was anything sald about a city de- posit 1f you made the loan? A, Yes, Q. Who made the application for the loan? A. Mr, Jones of the National Re- serve Bank, for the officera of the Car- negie Trust Company, Q. Immediately after the loan was made to the Carnegie Trust Company, did you receive @ city deposit? A, Yes; my bank received a deposit of $135,000 of the city's money immediately. On cross-examination, Holloway aw mitted that he had never had any communication with Hyde, nor received any promises from him, OTHER 8. "'KS MADE LOANS AFTER TALKS ABOUT HYDE. When R.

Did Cummins ask you to secure the loan? A. He asked me to present to the directors of the Guardian Trust Company an application for a loan of 75,000. » Did he say anything about any deposits? A. Yes, but It had no rela- tion to city moneys @. What did he say? A. He said he was sure he could ‘have the American Snuff Company or ‘the American To- bacco Company make deposits with the Guardian Trust Company. DEPOSITS FROM HYDE FOL- LOWED LOAN. Q. Was the loan made? A. Yes, the Tennessee Paoking and Stock Company, per Mr, Cummins, Q. Did you get deposits from elther the American Snuff or the American Tobacco Company? A. No, air. Q. Was any city money deposited, In- stead? A. Yes, sir. One hundred thous sand dollars, a very few days after the loan was Made to the Cummins Interests. Willis G, Nash, President of the Mer- cantile National Bank, sald May, 1910, Cumming came to him to try to get from hie bank a loan of $300,000 for some of his concerns, and that diately afterward tis bank received nearly $600,000 of city deposits. Q. Had Cummins sald anything to you about city deposits? A. He had merely asked me if we had any clty deposits. On cross-examination Nash factthat his bank might get clty deposits had no effect on maiking the loan, since his bank did not wis any more city money.
