stein might have partners at Albany bt
fore long. Read
"George s. Feurst and Charles A
Manly, bankrupts, late partners in III
proprietorship of the bar.room and cipa
stand No. 902 Main street, and the cisa
stand No. 703 Broad street. were befor,
omted states Commissioner Atkins yes
terday, charged with unlawfully and fraudu
lently secreting and concealing from tn
assignee large portion of their assets
Inc examination commenced at |.
O'Clock M, and continued, with tn,
exception OF a short recess, until D. m.
ana was then adjourned until to-day. Til,
examination was resumed this morning
and is in progress as we go to press. .
The prosecution was represented BY
United States District Attorney L, i,
Lewis, and his assistant, Major w, F,
Worthington, and by Major Alfred r,
Courtney /; Judge Alfred Morton. and
Mr.. VIM. Flegenheimer, representing the
interests Of the creditors. The accused
were represented by Holiday & White
and II. Fl. Wells, jr. Several other law.
yers indirectly concerned in the case.
were present. 1t is charged by The pros.
ecutlon that Feurst & Manly commenced
business at 9O2 Main street, about two
months ago, with stock worth about
$4,000 ]. that just before going into bank.
ruptcy they shipped to New York con.
siderable amount of whiskey, and also
transferred quantity to parties in this city.
The entire stock on hand, fixtures of the
establishment, &C., brought considerably
less than $500 at the assignee's sale.
After the assignee, Mr.. @. H. Wend-
linger, had taken possession of the Main
street store, some one entered it from the
rear and carried off portion of the goods.
However, no evidence was presented yes
terday to connect either of the accused
with the robbery. An interesting question
arises in this case from the fact that Manly
is MINOR 1t is held by some that a
minor cannot 60 into bankruptcy, conse-
quently is not amenable to the penalties of
the law provided for bankrupts who at.
tempt to conceal or secrete their assets.
This case is one of more than ordinary
interest, from the fact that both of the ac-
cused are we'll known here. The offence
with which they are charged is punishable
with fine and imprisonment not exceeding
' shree years in the penitentiary.
