GROUT ; Counsel in Early Clash With | District Attorney in Union tank Head's Trial. +The opening sees in the trial of Edw president of the defun f Brooklya and former Comptroller of New York, on a charge of perjury in swearing to and signing a false report of the bank's condition to the State Bank- ing Department, were made to-day before Judge Harry Lewis in Brook- lyn, The selection of a jury was von- cluded yesterday A large and. disappointed crowd gathered in the lobby of the court- houre, because admission to the room was restricted by order of the court, and many of those who had come early looking for seats were turned away, The courtroom itself was obviously set for a great documentary trial, On one side of the room was Edward Lane Dodge, Examiner, with an assistant and about a score of bank books, ledgers and journals, ready to be passed up] i?) a 4 to District Attorney Cropsey, who conducted the prosecution. On the other aide were Stephen C. Baldwin, chief attorney for the de- fonse, with Paul Grout, the defend- ant’a brother, and Paul Potter. They were fortifid with a grat mass of documnts, bound and unbound, and in Ittered envelopes. Edward M. Grout was almot overshadowed by the legal scenery about him. CHARGES WORTHLESS ITEMS WERE VALUED AT THOUSANDS. In opening the case for the people Mr. Cropsey charged that in the re- port to the Banking Department signed by Grout thousands of dollars, carried as loans and discounts, in reality represented real estate carried by dummies for fictitious loans, “Included in the assets,” he said, “were items which were not worth a penny, but were valued at thousands formerly Special Bank | 7 estate worth $500,000. We shall show it was worth hundreds of thousands less.” He went on to say the bank guar- anteed loans obtained by fictitious | companies, and at this Mr. Baldwin fio daees here is no place on the Banking babarement report blank,” he said, “to set down contingent liabilities, and that's why they didn’t appear.” To this Mr. Cropsey replied there Ways a column for other abilities and three blank columns in which the matter might have been set forth, “The report to the Banking De- partment,” he added, “is for the pur- pose of telling the truth about a bank's condition, not for the purpose of leaving out $200,000 worth of lia- bilities.” GLOWING REPORT MADE OF BANK’S CONDITION. Mr. Cropsey then pointed out that according to the statement of the dank on April 2, 1910, the date on which Grout, as president, signed it, the Instituiion was shown to be a sol- vent and going concern, with enough to batt | all depositors and stockholdera $503,000 left to distribute. ‘April 2 was a Saturday,” Mr. Crop- sey said. “On Monday the Union Bank closed as hopelessly insolvent; there wasn't penny for the stockholders and only a little more for the deposit- ors.” Turning to previous history of the bank, Mr. Cropsey said that when it was reorganized, Aug. 17, 1908, a rosy report of conditions made by a ifirm of accountants and that "ihe Hanking Department rendered a re- port almost as glowing. The depositors representing 90 per cent. of the de- posits agreed to deferred payments and the plan went through. “Whether this indicates the Banking Department was careless or corrupt,” Mr. Cropsev added, “you gentlemen of the jury will have to form your own opinion. In 1908 the bank announced $7,000,000 on deposit, but it had only $4,000,000 when it closed in 1910. the surmlus waa $960,000 in the year 1908 and had dropped to $490,000 at the time the doors were shut. “Tho report signed by Mr. Grout was false and the defense practically admitted its falsity in the character of the questions asked of talesmen— that the point was whether Mr. Grout knew the report to be false.” Again Mr. Baldwin arose and said that the defense admitted nothing of the kind. The District Attorney told the jury jthat when the bank made its last [payment of 13 per cent. of the original total to the depositors in December, 1909, it obtained the money by borrowing a million dollars in New York upon all the assets of the bank that had any value whatever. —— ee fon of King’s Secretary Killed.

JR. MOST POWERFUL, SAYS KING Can Beat Public Opinion in Changing Colorado Con- ditions. Is Claim. WASHINGTON, May 25.—"The will) and conscience of young Mr. John D, Rockefeller are more powerful in Col- orado than any other force that can be brought to bear at this time,” said W. L, MacKenzie King, director of the Industrial Relations Depart- ment of the Rockefeller Foundation, ie his testimony to-day before the | Federal Industrial Relations Commia- sion, which is inquiring into condi- tions in the Colorado coal fields. His statement was in answer to a remark by Chairman Walsh that “the | Public opinion of the American peo- ple would be the greatest factor in improving conditions in Colorado,” “You think that the will and con- acience of Mr, John D, Rockefeller is more powerful than the wills and consciences of all the American pie to bring about a change of conditions in. Colorado?” asked Walsh, “That is not just what I said,’ re- plied King and a clash followed, in which King protested against his testimony being “distorted. When the air cleared King explained that he was “speaking as a practical man of a practical ation.” “L mean to say,” he continued, “that if I wanted to improve condi- Se! in Colorado, the man I would after would be John D. Rocke- fcher Jr. ‘He could do more in one year along that line than efforts to focus public opinion on the situation could do in several years.” Responsibility for the Colorado strike, King sald, he could definitely fix, and he expected to report his findings where they would have the best effect, He suggested that he should like to give his recommenda- tions privately to Chairman Walsh.
