GEORGIA CENrRAL AUIr.
Arguments Before Judge Jackson Which
Attracts Much Attention.

WASHINGTON, d. c., oct 5.-Asso-
ciate Judge Jackson to-day heard argu-
ments I'm a branch Of the litigation over
the Georgia Central Railroad. which has
attracted the attendance Of attorneys and
others Interested in sufficient numbers
10 hll the consultation room OF the Su-
preme Court. where the proceedings
were held. The matter at issue was the
contention Of the Southwestern Railroad
Company, Of Georgia. whose property is
leased 10 the Georgia Central, that II
is not liable as principal upon an issue
OF five million tripartite bonds signed by
the Georgia Central, the Macon and
Western and the SOuthwestern that In
this matter II 0he Southwestern) simply
loaned it's credit 10 the Georgia Central,
and became accommodation endorser for
It; and that therefore, although the
mortgage executed 20 secure the bonds
covers it's property. the property Of the
Georgia Central should first be exhaust
ed I'm payment Of the debts. The attor-
neys for the Georgia Central and for
the bondholders. Of sCme of them, antag-
onize this contention. claiming that the
property of the Southwestern Company
IS liable for the mortgage debt equally
with that OF the Central Company and
that tne IeiatlOh OF piliclpdi anu H"i''g
does not exist between the Central ana
Southwestern Companies. Last June
Judge Jackson held that the Southwest
ern Company was liable with the Cen
tral as co-makers Of the mortgage. and
not az surety only. The present proceed
ing is based upon an application for
modification Of that decree so that the
property Of the Georgia Central Compa-
nv should be first sold and applied 10 the
payment OF the tripartite bonds before
any property Of the Southwestern Com
pauy is sold.

AN ATTORNEYS TRICK.

In another column is the record of
case just decided by the Supreme
Court, by which j. M. Douglas,
through the trickery of Trenmor
Coffin attorney for the Stevenson
estate, is poor and perhaps wiser
man than he was a few months ago
For Major Huffaksr however, the
APPEAL has no sympathy. He has
resided in the State long time and
ought to have known that the
methods of the man with whom he
was dealing.
He has been playing these under
handed tricks on everybody with
whom he has dealt with for years; he
has been frequently exposed, and
still he is constantly falling in with
and doing up men who trust him.
From the manner in which Major
Huffaker intrusted him with his bust
ness, We are forced to assume that
he does not read the newspapers.
For the time he was first refused
admission to the bar by Judge Whit>
man, because of the grave charges
hanging over him up to date, his
career has been as successful as 1T
has been shameless, and in no in
stance does it reflect any credit upon
himself, or his methods.
The various steps in his career in
this State has been exposed by the
newspapers, bat he seems to go
right ahead, and do business like the
Bunko King of Denver, who SAID
that the press could never deprive
him of victims, because he said, half
the people didn't read the papers and
few believed what they SAID.
The facts in the case cited, are
taken from the records of the court,
and can be seen in the clerks office.
Perhaps it will be news for Mr..
Huffaker to learn that had the Stew
enson estate been insolvent, that a
suit would have been begun against
Trenmor Coffin for dipping his hand
into the estate money to the tune OF
about $4,000 more than the law
allowed, under the cloak of fees.
The rejection of the Douglas
claim leaves the estate solvent, and
the Stevenson heirs can get what's
coming to them without calling on
Coffin to respond, for they say:
ooh hang the difference, we just
as leave Coffin would swipe it as Mrs.
Hardy"
This cheerful view of the situation
bouys up the heirs.
Mr. Hufaker can put and l to-
gether and thereby figure out why
Coffin was so anxious to keep the
Douglas claim from reaching tht
