late President Medad W. Stone, OF the Amerl-
can Stock and Trust Company. lie made out
bogus receipts for cotton and sold them TO the
banks His robberies are known to amount to
10000 The company was formed for the
purpose of storing cotton and issuing ware
house receipts against 1t.
Stone was largely instrumental IN Organlz-
ing the company, and was its president for
years, As president Of the warehouse CON-
pany he would issue certificate 10 his own
order. showing that he had on deposit at the
warehouses certain amounts Of cotton. Then
he would take the certificate to bank and
get loan on It,
Efforts have been made upon the Cotton
Exchange 10 keep the story quiet. The feel
ing has been that as Stone was dead 1t was
best 10 let the matter drop. But some of the
banks contemplate suit against the warehouse
company, so the matter leaked out.
