HAMPSHIRE SAVINGS BANK. The Second Report of the Receivers Before Judge Knowlton. Boston, Nov. 15.-The second report of R. W. Irwin and Benjamin E. Cook, Jr., receivers of the Hampshire Savings Bank of Northampton, was before Judge Knowlton in the supreme court today. The issues involved the allowance of the report, the perpetuation in office of the receivers and the winding up of the affairs of the defunct institution. The first matter was sought by the receivers and the other two by the bank examiners. At the hearing it became known that a number of the depositors desire to curtail expenses by reducing the number of the receivers to one and a committee was appointed today to ask the court to comply with the wishes of those depositors, but Judge Knowlton declined to reduce the number of receivers. He ordered Assistant Attorney General Hammond to draw up a decree making the appointment of the receivers permanent and authorizing them to wind up the affairs of the bank. The report of the receivers shows that the report of Lewis Warner, treasurer of the bank, showed that the loans of the bank aggregated $1,063,000, when as a matter of fact they amounted to only $826,345, making a deficit of about $200,000. The liabilities are $1,548,051.01 and the gross assets foot up $1,600,000. The receivers find that after verification of the depositors' pass books the amount due to the depositors is $1,547,717, and not $1,413,317 as represented by Warner. The discrepancy in this instance is $134,561.

WARNER IS ON TRIAL. The Ex-Cashier of the Hampshire Savings Bank. Northampton, Mass., Dec. 28.-It took some time after the opening of the superior court this afternon to impanel a jury in the embezzlement case of Lewis Warner, ex-cashier of the Hampshire Savings bank. The men finally selected with one exception are residents of towns outside of Northampton. The first witness called was B. E. Cook, one of the receivers of the Hampshire Savings bank. He had a book of records of the bank and its admission as evidence was strongly objected to by W. N. Brooks, one of Warner's counsel. The book was finally admitted. H. A. Kimball, a former trustee of the bank, was next called and identified the book and some entries in Warner's handwriting. These were the only witnesses examined this afternoon. Many objections were taken by the defense. Warner's appearance was pitiable and at time it was necessary for the deputy sheriffs to support him.
