The case of Bernard Reiss of the
firm of Neuberger, Reiss & Co,
charged with defrauding the Govern
ment by making false invoices of i'm
ported goods, was called in the
United States District Court vester'
day morning.
Reiss is under criminal indictmen
and is in a peculiar position. WheI
he was indicted he paid the Govern
ment $40, 900, and he was given t,
understand. that such paymen
would settle the case. Judge Nor
row refused to recognize any sucI
arrangement, and when Ress ap
pears to-day to plead he will hav
some difficulty in placing himsel
upon tenable ground. The $40, 00'
of his money which the Government
now holds Is virtual admission 0
guilt, so it would seem that Refs
could not consistently enter plea O
not guilty. On the other hand
should he plead guilty he loses hi
$4,000 and must suffer a crimina
punishment.
The Court takes no half-wa,
ground. Reuben H. Lloyd will ap
pear for the prosecution, and it pro
misses to be vigorous one. Tn
wholesale merchants will watch tn
trial closely.
