case, after denying the motion for a
new trial. In denying the rehearing
the court stated, however, that the
judge of the lower court should mod

verdict of the court of appeals was
made the verdict of the superior court,
or before the judge of the lower court
had an opportunity of modifying the
sentence.
Mr. Cabaniss was for many years at
the head of the Exchange bank, which
failed in 1907. C. M. Orr, the cashier
of the bank, is now serving a seven
year sentence for embezzlement, being
convicted about a year after the failure
