LYNcuBURG, Va, June H. Special --
The interesting case Of the city against
Max Gugeenhcmcr. W. W. Larkin and t.
G.. IT, kean, trustees Of Mcssrs. Aunspaugh
* .CObbs, late merchants, for selling out ihc
concern at retail without license, was con-
cluded to-day in favor Of the city. Mr.
kean, the city attorney, being one Of the
defendants, argued his own side of the
question, along with Mr.. Larkin. and Cap
tain Charles NJ. BlackfOrd represented the
city. The defendant claimed that under the
deed. they could take until the first of July
10 sell out the stock Of goods, replcnishing
IL in the meantime, as trustees, without liz
censc, and denied that there was any law
10 the contrary. Captain BlackfOrd read
from the code and showed that the trustees
under the deed became purchasers and were
as much merchants as Aunspaugh n
CObbs, and, therefore. rs mucn
liable to license taxes as any
other merchant. They were merchants
so long rs they were doing business the
same as other merchants and in competition
with them. If such business was not tax
able. all man had 10 do was TO make as
sgnment, appoint a trustee, and continue
business without paying license. a man
might assign in Baltimore, and his trustees
could bring the goods here 10 Lynchburg
and sell them without a license. The only
nOn-licensed sales are those ordered by the
court.
Mayor Manson said it was evident that
while the gentlemen may not be selling for
personal profit, they We're selling for profit
for the trust fund, and. therefore, liable 10 "a
tax. For the violation of the ordinance in
not procuring such license, he imposed a
fine of 80. The defendants took appeal 10
the higher court, and the case being entire
ly a new one, it seems greatly to interest
