Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 3O-An important
point was sprung to-day in the city
court before Judge Westmoreland in the
case of the Nantahala Marble and Tale
Company against ]. a Fisher.
The company has sold large quantities
of stock to people all over the state. Many
have refused to pay for it. and the COM
pany has entered suits to recover. Mr.
Jordan, the attorney for Mr. Fisher,
made the point that the scheme of the
company was a lottery, and as such sub
scriptions could not legally be collected.
The company sold shares of stock with
the understanding that when they had
been fully paid for the holder was enti-
tied to get lot in the tract owned by
the company. This lot was to be drawn
for, and neither the holder of the stock
nor the members Of the company knew
where the lot was to be located Judge
Westmoreland held that this was a lot
terry, and If 10 was true under the law
the stock could not be collected. The case
will go TO the jury with this feature in
the charge. Failure to recover in this
case means failure in all the other suits
