The Stevens Case Attracts Attention In Bank Insolvency Trial
The State versus Fred L. Stevens, charged with receiving deposits while Bank of Plankinton was insolvent, heads a major trial. Preston & Hannett defend Aurora county, Judge Fellows presides. Stevens previously faced a conviction and 4.5 year sentence on a change of venue. The case progressed to the supreme court for a new trial but was delayed due to the illness of key witness Mrs. Bray. She has moved to Iowa and may not testify, but the state will also use bank books and testimony from I. N. Auld, the current bank receiver, to prove guilt. The fight has swung back and forth, with jurists and public opinion changing as time passes.
