Observers Cheer Verdict A dozen of the 150 spectators In Judge Krnest A. O'Brien's courtroom cheered the verdict. None ot the de¬ fendants showed emotion. .John Hart Jr., son of a defendant, lashed lo the front of the room and threw his nrrrts ahout his father. Later, Hallantyne said: "I have nothing to say except that this Is a flnger-polntlng age." Chittenden, Hart and Ballanlyna went on trial March 26, True bills relumed against them charged they made or caused to be made a false Rtateniont In representing the hank's condition as of June 30, 1931; and that they suhmitted a false report to the Comptroller of Cur¬ rency In connection with that statement. The case revolved around listing of $212,000 of stock In Detroit Bankers Company, holding com¬ pany of the First National, The stock was purchased through a trustee loan to Clarence D. Bles¬ sed and Herman Leitner, Junior officers ot the bank. Charged Dummy Posa Special Assistant Attorney Gen¬ eral Guy K, Bard contended the stock was property of the bank and that the loan was a "dummy trans¬ action," As bank property, he charged, the stock should havo been listed under "bonds, stocks and other securities" in reports to the comptroller. Instead, he declared, it was listed under "loans and dis¬ counts" for tho purpose ot con¬ cealing speculation. The defense claimed that I..eltner and Blessed personally were re¬ sponsible for the loan. The note, they declared, was a straight trans¬ action, taking a regular course through hanking channels. Judge Krnest A, O'Brien charged the eight women and four men Jurors to decide whether the stock belonged to the hank, pr Blessed or Ueltner, and It It belonged to the bank, tbey muat conclude It was not carried under the proper classi¬ fication. The Issue, according to O'Brien, was "whether there was n false entr-.v. If so, whether the cnlrv' A\as made with the purupose ot deceit i and fraud."
