DISTRICT COURT.First Week of Jury Term-Indict-

rments Returned Against Officers

of Bank of Donaldsonville andPeoples Bank.

What is likely to prove one of themost interesting and important termsof criminal district court held herein recent years was convened Mon-day forenoon, with Judge Charles T.Wortham on the bench, Clerk ofCourt J. S. Barman, Sheriff E. C.Hanson and District Attorney PhilipGilbert at their respective posts, anda full attendance of other court offi-cials and members of the bar. Thefollowing grand jury was impanelledto serve for the ensuing six months:A. V. Osterberger, Desire Falcon,Henry L. Weil, J. F. Saxon, VincentGautreau, W. H. Cox, Edward J. Gon.Zales, Sidney J. Harp, Lydien Col-let, A. J. Menuet, Charles A. Ilecneland Louis Rome.

Judge Wortham appointed Mr. Os-terberger to act as foreman of thejury, and in delivering his chargeto the body called their special at-tention to the allegations of mis-management made in connection withthe failure. of the Bank of Donald-sonville on Nov. 22, 1913, and thePeoples Bank of Donaldsonville onJuly 14, 1914. The judge stated thatas a usual thing he did not chargethe grand jury to make an investi-gation of matters other than' thoseprovided for by special statutes, butthat he deemed it his duty to di-rect their attention to the accusa-tions and charges growing out ofthe failure of the two local bankinginstitutions. He instructed themthat it is not essential to prove spe-cific intent to defraud in order toestablish criminal responsibility, butthat the showing of mere careless-ness on the part of the officers ordirectors of a banking institution inthe management of its affairs con-stitutes prima facie evidence ofcriminal intent. The laws regulatingthe conduct of banks are verystrict, and should be rigidly enforcedin order to.secure the greatest mea-sure of safety for the depositors, de-clared the judge. After receivingthe charge the inquisitorial body re-tired to begin its deliberations.

District Attorney Philip Gilbert:made the announcement that Robert

L. Rivarde, of Hahnville, would beassociated with him in the prosecu-tion of the charges presently pend-ing against the officers and cer-tain of the directors of the Bank ofDonaldsonville, and against W. J.LeBlanc, cashier of the PeoplesBank of Donaldsonville, on informa-tions filed by the district attorneysome time ago. Attorney Rivardehas been employed by a committeerepresenting depositors in both thedefunct institutions, and will be as-sociated with the district attorneyin prosecuting all cases that maygrow out of the failure of the twobanks.Motion to Quash Venire OQerruled.

A motion to quash the jury venirewas filed Wednesday in the case ofJoseph and Edward Bayham, indict-ed for the murder of John Cannonand his son, Warren Cannon. All ofthe attorneys representing defend-aots in criminal proceedings growingout of indictments returned by thepresent grand jury joined in the mo-tion, which alleged that the jurycommission, in drawing the panelfor the grand jury for the sessionof court beginning Feb. 23, were notfurnished by the clerk of court witha list of grand jurors and of thosewho have served as regular jurorssince the previous drawing of thegeneral venire, as provided for bysection 6 of Act No. 135 of 1898. Itwas also asserted that the jury com-mission illegally and without warrantof law struck from the venire listthe names of nineteen men whosenames should have remained on saidlist, and that the grand jury as con-stituted and drawn by the jury com-mission was not a legal body, andthat any findings made by it wereillegal and absolute nullities.

The moticn declared that amongthe nineteen names so stricken fromthe venire list was the name of J.F. Saxon, and if said name was legal-ly stricken from the list, which wasdenied, it was alleged that the jurycommission acted illegally and with-out warrant of law in immediately re-placing on the venire list the nameof said J. F. Saxon, who was drawnas a grand juror and was a member

I of the body which found the indict--ment in the case at issue.

The clerk of court explained thatwhile Mr. Saxen'x s n e was drawn

I as a member of the grand jury panelof twenty for service at the term ofcourt in July, 1914, Mr. Saxon wasnot impanelled on the grand juryat that time, and his name wastherefore restored to the venire list.

After all the testimony had beenadduced and the matter had beenargued by attorneys representing de-fendants and the state, Judge Worth-am overruled the motion and declaredthe jury to have been properly andlegally drawn.

Bank Officers Indicted.As the result of their investigation

into the bank failures, the grand jurycame into court yesterday forenoonand returned true^ bills against Pres-ident W. M. McGalliard, Vice Pres-ident Charles Maurin and Cashier W.D. Park of the Bank of Donaldson-ville, and President Joseph A. Dalfer-es and Cashier W. J. LeBlanc of thePeoples Bank. The indictmentscharge the officers of the two bankswith receiving deposits when know-ing the institutions to be in an in-solvent condition, the specific alle-gations upon which the bills arefounded being the receipt of a de-posit of $312.50 from Felix Sagonaon Nov. 18, 1913, by the Bank ofDonaldsonville; and of deposits of$150 from Felix Acosta on July 11,1914, and $8 qw Berndrd MIt-tretta on July 13 i,14, by tire Pepies Bank.
