In Charles City Iowa May 6 a motion for a new trial in the Butler county case of T R Boyd et al trustees of the closed Aredale Savings Bank vs R V Miller et al was heard by Judge McVey. The motion was refused after arguments by William Beecher Elda A Sager and Dale R Van Eman. A substantial judgment was rendered by a jury at Allison last October against the bank directors on a paper guaranteeing a list of bad paper.

McNider did not sign and was not given a chance to sign per evidence. The case is now being appealed to the supreme court. Otto Perch pleaded guilty to forgery and was sentenced to six months in county jail with sentence suspended on good behavior. He was paroled to Sheriff P A Saddler. Vigilantes chief Elmer Waller and others inspected various vigilante groups statewide finding them 100 percent efficient.
