By PAUL Y. ANDERSON, Testifying this afternoon be- fore the Congressional Commit- ‘tee investigating the conduct of Federal Judge George W. En- vlish, to determine if he should INTERNAL REVENUE HELD be impeached, Paul Sehlafly, chairman of the board of diree- tors of the Union Trust Co., _, stated that his bank paid inter- est on bankruptey funds to Faris English, son of Judge 4 English. Under questioning by the committee, the banker admit- ted that this interest, amount- ing to $200 a month, was paid to the Judge's son in return for the son using his influenee with his father to keep the bank- ruptey funds on deposit in | Sehlafly’s bank. Fourteen checks, totaling ape , proximately $2700, were introduced in evidence and identified by the bank's officers as those paid te aris English as interest on bank- rupt deposits. They were made pavable to “cash.” That the checks were net tn- 'dorsed caused nearly all the seven members of the investigating com- mittee to fire questions at Vice President Hemker, and the matter finally rested with introduction of transcript of Faris English's ae- count. ’ (luestions asked of Schlafly on cross-examination indicated « that the defense on this point would , consist of an endeavor to show that ‘aris English collected the intere- and acted as he did without either the knowledge or consent of the Judge. These funds were placed in the the same bank by trustees in bankruptcy ap- have pointed by Referee in Bankrup'cy Thomas, who held his office by ap- agcénts pointment of Judge English. ‘The reduction Judge designated the depository.
