sar. B g Judge Prendergast was
ieaGy to lounce his decision in the
lsLtter, Att lsy Mayer, who represents
he unsecur creditors, said he had had
the books OH the defunct firm examined
by experts, Who had discovered startling
discrepancies in them. Ithad been found,
Mr.. Mayer declared, that several accounts
had been transferred in an irregular
manner, and some sensational de-
velopments might be expected.
Nc. Mayer stated he would
ask at the co6cl sion of this expert testi-
mony that ze;berger, who had given
testimony on behalf of the Lindsuers, be
indicted for perjury.
Adolph Archer, an expert accountant,
was then called on the witness stand. He
said three books of accounts in custody
of the court we're Examined for the first
time last night, the examiners being the
clerk of the court aid representatives OF
all parties in interest. Mr.. Archer testi-
fed that the books showed $292,S27 worth
of book accounts, or bills receivable, OF
the insolvent firm had been assigned to
various creditors of the corporation. lthad
been admitted on behalf CT the firm
that 5000, 900 worth of accounts had been
SO assigned, but the books showed they
had failed to give the full amount, which
was, in fact, over $92O00 more. In other
words, the Lindaners' hi | conveyed away
all of their property exc, 9t their stock OF
goods in the hands of t.bi sheriff. 1t Was
chiefly on the strength of illegal action
that this iS92, 900 in book accounts had not
been assiJned that the Lindauers claimed
tfHgt Judge ,Prendergast had no 1urlsdlc-
ton. Witness testimony was not shaken
on oross-examination.
