CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-The North Ameri-

by Judge Horton in open court to-day.

10 be fraudulent and its officers pronounced
swindlers, while the court EXPRESSED an
opinion that its organization had been ef-
fected for the purpose of preying upon the
innocent. The company is one OF the
largest loan and investment concerns in

100000. While the company was incor-
porated in Iowa and has its main office in
Dubuque, the chief officers, Samuel +.
House, president, and Lyman E. Cage,

criticism was contained in the facts brought
out on the trial of chancery matter in
which Caroline Humphreys and her hus-
band, Joshua Humphreys, colored
couple, formerly residing in Atlanta, Ca,
were compliments. The evidence given
in court was to the effect that Humphreys
and his wife wished to obtain loan OF
$1,000 on property worth $500 They were
induced to sign papers which they were
told constituted a mortgage, but which in
reality amounted to an absolute warranty
deed. The old colOred people never re-
ceived but $3.50 in cash, the balance of the
$1,000 being given to them in the shape of
stocks in the company.
Judge Horton ordered reconveyance
of the property. and ordered the cancel
lation of the $1,000 note executed by the
Humphreys on the return of the cash
which they had received aud the stock in
the company. Ia giving his decision the
court was severe on Edgar W. Duncan OF
Salt Lake. attorney Of the concern, who
is also cashier of a bank in that city, and
wound up his decision by declaring that
the company was gotten up for the pur.
pose of perpetrating frauds upon the peo-
pie with whom 1t dealt.
