S. McCornick, does not appear. Londoner First Witness. The absence of Londoner's name from the list of witnesses has occasioned occa-sioned considerable comment.. li is thought, however, that it has been the intention of the grand jury from the beginning tu summon him and that he will be the first witness calleel. Other men whose testimony is regarded as essential es-sential to a complete ' investigation of the bank robbery, and whose names have not appeared as witnesses, are .1. Walter Eeat.t.ie, national bank examiner, who lias delved exhaustively into the. affairs of the bank, anil the "special accountants ac-countants who expert eel the books following fol-lowing the discovery of the alleged robbers;, rob-bers;, W...S.

Trimmer, tellers, will give the most important testimony concerning concern-ing the history of the robbery. May Divine Light Prom Mr. Adams and Mr. Trimmer, it is supposed, the details of certain transactions, which the former in his statement eonccming the robbery said he could not approve, will be obtained, and these may throw some light on the mystery.

The testimony tes-timony of Jonathan K. Oponshaw, FroJ liich.' Moroni lver.oii and Ida Vhig-berg Vhig-berg will in all probability bear strictly upon the rules observed at the bank in regulating ihe opening and closing of the vault from which the $100,250 is said to have been taken.

Interest in Case No case in the history of Salt Lake City has aroused a broader public interest, in-terest, than 1 hi' ltah National bank robbery. ICarly in Januarv there were current rumors of a large liefalcation in some bank, but not until the end of the month was the fact connected with any institution. At this time President W. S. McCornick made nublie a statement setting forth that, the Utah National bank had been robbed of $4.',000 a bone January -1. Pinkerton detectives were put at work on the case, but their efforts were apparently futile. It developed subsequently subse-quently that, the amount taken was 100,2."0. Since fhe robbery was first maele public it has been a topic of elis-cussion elis-cussion on every street corner and virtually vir-tually the whole city has been anxiously anxious-ly awaiting the moment when the granel jury woulel undertake its invest iglition with the very probable result of dissipating dissi-pating the cloud of mystery which has surrounded the robbory at all times. |
