RUN ON AUBURN BANK LAID TO COLVIN Defense of Two Walters Questions Legal Ethics of Former Prosecutor SEATTLE, May 23.—(AP)—Former Prosecutor Ewing D. Colvin, witness against Charles E. Walters and his son Ralph, accused of having sold $360,000 worth of stock on misrepresentations, was accused in superior court by Ralph B. Potts of defense counsel of having been "responsible" for starting a run on the defunct Bank of Auburn. Colvin had testified he tried to induce Ralph Walters to give him the books of the Walters' Bankers Holding company in October, 1930, and that he had addressed a meeting of stockholders, and subsequently represented them. Potts, commenting on the fact that the First National Bank of Auburn, one of the chain controlled by the holding company, closed October 27, said: "You know as a matter of fact, Capt. Colvin, that you were responsible for this run on the bank by your activities, don't you?" "I'll tell you what caused the run," Colvin replied. "It was the letter of October 10 notifying depositors who had put their life savings in the bank that a dividend had to be passed. They realized there was something rotten and came to me. I couldn't get any information from Walters Jr. That's what caused the run." Quizzed about his legal ethics, Colvin said they had never been questioned. "Permit me to question them, then," said Potts. "You do it for the effect on this jury," Colvin retorted.
