Ho said emphatically that ! | lu was not worrying over his own - atiaira but over the bank's business. 1 lie admitted that he owed $136,000 and stated that he had certain per ■ | soiial property listed that were worth I $5,117 and stocks valued at s4l,t>9( ' 10 pay same.

Staton wu» making a light against me." In answer to the question of who ure lVcl 4t Co., Godwin ii Peei and otl.er ficticious names he could name no such firms. He claimed that Stalls owed the $6500 note. He also stated that lie kited in his own name so he could draw on it and that he had no other personal account. That he paid for his speculations and his house hold expenses out of this same ac count. He could not recall when he began kiting. That the agreement was to handle the Nitrate Agency Account for a $50,000 balance but he found it un profitable and kept as high as $76,- ('OO at times and that when Latham the state examiner came lie took the Old drafts out of the cash box and charged them to the Liberty Bond account and that he got $11) to his own credit out of the transaction. He did not know what Grover Godwin was worth. He admitted taking a cashier's check in his own name foi sboo which should havfc been credited to the account of R. L. Little on a mortgage held by l Wynne and Wil bams. He then went over a long list of stocks which Jje had hypothicati in different parts of North Carolina He also claimed to iiave delivered bonds to those who had bought them. Redirect Examination —— He made explanation of the $6500 it;.id coupons; SSOO Holliday bond, SSOO J. L>. Howen bond and the S6(K John T. Price bond, all with school boy drill and pomp. Also the Tyre and Rogerson losses which he had charged to the expense account. No explanation was made about the Rev. J. H. Garner's SSOO bonds that had never been found. V. G Taylor was the next witness He testified that he and Godwin had had some conversation about the base ball account in New York. That God win hal done some kiting through his bank, the Planters and Merchants Bank in Everetts, that it was worse n 1920 and that he would always el a ge items just as they came in ano that Godwin closed his account in Jul v 1920. John I). Biggs stated that he was President of the Farmers and Mer chants Bank, had attended many banker's meetings with Godwin, had never seen him drunk it one nor had ever seen him drunk anywhere. That Godwin was a hord worker fo rhts bank. In the matter of the Ed Wal to pay SBOO and interest but did not ston item he understood TTalston was know he had paid it. Godwin told him he would pay tha interest and the S2OO note due and he drew on him for $299. That if he ha 3 known that Walston had paid the entire note 1 he would have demanded it alf. The next witness was feel, the young man Godwin had victim ized and led into dark places to he](p him in his "crafts." He was a wit ' ness for the state but, the defense thought it best to call him themselves, t it did sot take long however for them Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, March 31st, 1922 to see their mistake. Peel told them plainly that the Nitrate Agency ac count was put to the Liberty Bond account to cover shortage of bonds, etc. He said that he was amazed at tM ' transaction but did as he was i told to diJ by Godwin. Upon being! asked about the $5,000 cashier's check made to John L. Rodgerson he stated tliafe) it was drawn for no purpose ex cept to balance an error which had been made in the adjustment of the Seaboard National Bank of Norfolk, lie testified that Godwin wrote him after he left and asked him to get tha SSOOO check from Rodgerson and put it to the account of the Nitrate Agency account to help him out that much. He said "I told Godwin about it and 1 knew it did not belong to Godwin. Rodgerson would not let me have it. Godwin also wrote me to get Federal Reserve checks of $9,- 400.00 for payment. He also wrote Mr. Rodgerson to get the S6OOO cash ler'a check. Mr. Rodgerson and I frequently talked about items in cash. We did not tell Staton about things because we thought Godwin would do so and we depended upon him to do so. 1 helped the auditors find the shortages. 1 took Mr. Godwin's ac count of the records because he told me to, he also told me to take out and hide the account of Grover C. Godwin. 1 put them wheer he told me but could not find them after wards. My personal account was lost in transferring from the active led ger to the permanent flies. In order to find the condition of Godwin's ac count it was necessary to find hit ledger sheets. 1 saw signs of kiting in 1919 when the bank had plenty ol money. 1 could see no need for it for the hank and positively could see no benefit it was being to the bank, as Mr. Godwi nwas putting it all to his own credit." Luther. Peel said "The records did not speak the truth. They did not show the standing of God win's account. All those entries were made under Godwins direction. Tht corresponding banks charged us foi collection and I guess the cost of kit ing was of course included, which Thf Peoples Batik paid. We had to pay other banks among them are the Me'r chants National Bank in Raleigh s2o at one time, The Wachovia Bank and , The expense of the hank was $28,00 i Trust Company about $76 per month for the year 1920 up to and including January 7th, 1921. The contingenc> account of $4,000 was takvn off tin books and I knew no reason for rr f"could find no tickets for same. Tht notes Tetterton and Daniel and th« Talley note wene the propety rof th« bank when taken out and delivered ti Grovrr Godwin. I wmb not familial with the Kirkland note. When tht auditors came the Tetterton note am Godwin check had both been taken out. 1 do not know who did it. God-, win asked me if I wanted to make some money on Coca Cola stock. 1 told him I had no money to buy stock with. He offered to finance it. 1 die', not know who he bought from or in whose name it was bought. When he left he asked me to sign a note in the name of Godwin and Peel. I hai it to pay and lost $1700.00 and found the stock was bought in his own name and 1 got nothing. Godwin did the whole transaction. The bank paid foi the Hassell and Godwin transactions by Godwin's orde rand he also paid for the Coca Cola transaction with the bank's money. Godwin told me, In drawing papers f«r his kiting deals, to sign Luther Peel and M. L. Peel and then ae would l'-equently sign Peel and Co., himself. He usee? all kinds of ficticious names in hiv kiting, all the proceeds of which went to , Godwin's personal accjuu'. Godwin frequently had me sign papers in blank and he later filled them in. All . the ficticious names were in Godwin's I handwriting. Godwin wa« bo.>B in the bank, whatever he said, went, God win took more Vnun ?1-00 coupons , out of cash. i T. J.

KNIGHT, ' If TOw «WT QUICK RESULTS ÜBE 41 WANT ad in the enterprise ESTABLISHED 1896 FARM LOAN BANKS FALL DOWN ON JOB The Wllliaciston National Farm Loan Association out c-f a large num. ber of application* r.-centiy seat to the Farm Loan Bank .n Columbia, 8. C., haa been notified .hat more than thine fourths of the aj plications were turned down. Tha exc xse offered waa that the bank* found it hard to get money. It is not surprising to those who know or to those wl o think The true solution is this: a lew great bank ing and money interests in New York who have full power under the pre*- ant administration to do their own wuy are unwilling that any have a show except themselves. The/ | say 1/ we are to bandit the ycopie-we must help them in a c amp, we must hold them ia a jam ant. eo loag aa we are able to do that we can oae then as we please. We wan make the laefe and we can wield it. They aleo aa/ that if farmers can borrow their rea sonable need* from the Farm Banks that it will relieve the country ■o that they will lose their power and the iolks will be free ugaia. Now where uoes tha fault lie? It Ilea in the halls of Congreaa. New York says to the eladera dont help the farmers, if you do we will not be able to dictate to them, hence tho powers that be in Cengreaa take the cue and nothing is odne. If the mem bers of Congress would stand, fight aa dpuah theee matters to the front we would get much relief but the pity ia they do uot, they leava the Job; they run around to inaloa money and get votes. We see such too often, evea in our own statu. Congree* can force tho Land Banks to issue bond* in any amount and they readily MMI, better than any other class of bonda. if Congress would pass such a law, the sou tii and wast could aaally con text their burdensome debta to loug term, easy payment debts and bust lies* would ease up immediately, if the prvsout gang stays to, there will be but one place to get money—Wall Street.
