Blakeney Tuesday afternoon at 2 <>*- . clock by Judge Michael Schenck, of Hendersonville, presiding. Mr. Blake , ney is at liberty under 819.000 to a writ sentence Tuesday. 3 he case against. r.ir. Blakeney was culled for trial Wednesday. The State introduced several witnesses who testi fied that the lire was noticed early in the morning of April 8 and that the entire inside of the building was aflame d few minutes after the fire was first noticed. It was brought out that the floor of the bank had been , heavily oiled with turpentine and t, cylinder oil a few days prior to the , tire and that an oil can was noticed in the ruins of the bank building. The State introduced an auditor who testified that the bank showed a deficit of approximately $1,300 and , a shortage of approximately $2,300. The State contended, that the bank ' was tired in an effort to cover the shortage. Several witnesses were introduced by the State who testified that after Blakeney was taken to his home they made an examination of his head but | did not feel a lump or knot on it where 1 « said there was one. ( The r.'fense contended that the de- | fendeut was in the hank at work and (heard noises but when he investigated (he found no one. The defendent on the stand testified that after making a search and not finding anyone lie sumed iiis work, and said that he then became unconscious, his next sensa tion was one of feeling heat and he recognized a man in the car in which lie was being taken homo. The- defense coutended that Blake ney was struck by rutrbel-s or other : unknown persons who then fired the bank to cover the attack.
