Greensboro, N.C., Dec. 19—B.H. Hedgecock, former cashier of the bank at High Point on trial here in superior court charged with embezzlement, took the stand in his own defense today and denied that he had made false entries on the banks of the institution. The former cashier also emphatically denied the charge that he had affixed his signature to an alleged confession as testified yesterday by I.W. Bingham, an auditor of Salisbury, and declared that the document was one setting forth that he was innocent of any wrong doing.
Cross examination of the former cashier, which was in progress when court convened at 11 o’clock, was continued at the afternoon session.
