The witness supplying the testi- Many was Herbert P. Howell, Vice- Prgsident of the bank, who had a visit from Siegel April 9, 1918, and a cor- respondence from him thereafter. In the course of Siegel's correspondence with the bank he sent financial state- ments as to the condition of his three stores in New York and Boston. Pho- tographs of these statements, bound in large black covers, were distrib- uted to each of the jurors, in spite ef the objections of Mr. Stanchfield, Biegel's chief attorney. Mr. Howell stated he had heard rumors of the financial straits of the Siegel enterprises, and that they wanted to sell or had offered for sale their accounts receivable. Both these rumors Mr. Slegel dented with em- Phasis at the time. The witness also told of the four Biegel notes for $25,000 each which the bank had discounted, and which were tho indirect means of bringing Biegel to trial for larceny.
