Legal Arguments At Third Hearing Of Famous Case
Elyria March 18 Walter Davies is accused as a co conspirator with William Treble in using a draft for 758 382 of the Inds of the City Bank of Lorain to misappropriate funds and the bank to his own use. Judge D Mears of Cleveland opened forceful arguments for the state. The jury retired at 11 50. Mears praised the court and jury while denouncing defense tactics. He argued that Boyd sought to mislead the jury and shield Davies. He said criminals distrust law and noted missing bank books could not be produced. The case resumed later with reference to Davies and Treble’s early employment by the bank.
