LONG TINE FOR coUNTERFErTEas
Jesse Way VIII Probably Remain i'm
Prison Rest OF His Life.

Judge Baker of the United States Court,
sentenced two "old timers" who had been
caught red-handed in counterfeiting the
coin of the realm yesterday morning and
each was given seven and a nalf years be-
hind the bars at Columbus This is heavy
sentence but both have been persistent
counterfeiters. Jesse Way is seventy-four
years old and has spent more than half
his life in prison for this same offense, and
he had only been out a few weeks when
he was caught at his old practice at Rich
mond. He was manufacturing halves, quar-
ters and dimes and had Henry and VIII
liam Amsden to pass 1t for him. The Ans
dens will have their trial to-day.
James Nelson, the other recipient OF a
heavy sentence, was captured at New AL
bany, with a lot of counterfeit coin in his
possession and the moldS with which he
had made them still warm. His defense was
that his arrest was the result of a con-
spiracy by his wife and a saloon keeper
with whom she was intimate. He declared
that the women came and asked his for
giYeness and while they were together at
his house she persuaded him to show her
how the coin was made. The saloon keeper
at the same time notified the police that
he was making counterfeit and they raided
him. The jury had no faith in his story.
James Corners and William Cullom, con-
victed of breaking the seal of a bonded car
of merchandise at Elkhart, were given
sentence of two years at Columbus, with a
fine of $50 and costs.

Charges in a Realty Deal.

Orange L. Moorman began suit yesterday
in the Superior Court against Joseph T.
Gist and Daniel Lesley to recover damages
for an alleged breach of contract. Moor
man charges that he employed the defend
ant Lesley to act as his agent in making
a real-estate deal and that the latter, in
stead of working for the plaintiffs inter
ests solely, played dual game. 1t is
charged that Lesley went into collision
with Gist for the purpose of defrauding the
plaintiff and that in a subsequent realizes
tate deal with Gist Norman was much the
loser. He demands damages for $4,000.

ton % of the old charter made no change
whatever in the rights and obligations of
the parties is wholly unsupported by the
facts If it made no changes why was it
passed? The changes are apparent and ma
terial. Under the original charter, in stat
ing an account between the company and
the State, you would have upon one side the
aggregate amount of dividends declared
and upon the other side the total capital
employed in the enterprise, with 10 per
centum per annum thereon. When the two
amounts thus ascertained became equal the
State would have the right to regulate the
tolls. Under the amendment of last winter
the account would be stated in a different
way. You would have upon one side the
net profits of the company. instead of divi-
dends declared and upon the other side the
amount expended i'll the construction of
the road with 10 per cent. interest thereon
instead Of the whole capital employed, with
10 per cent. interest thereon. In other
words, the right TO regulate the tolls under
the old charter depended upon the amount
of dividends declared, and under the amend
ment II depends upon the amount of net
profits There is nothing in the charter re-
curing the company to distribute all it's net
profits in dividends. On the contrary, they
may declare dividends of so much of the
profits as the company may deem expe-
dent and, in addition, the board of direc-
tors were authorized to retain, out of sur
plus profits after the payment of dividends,
such an amount 70 meet future contin-
gencies as they might deem proper.
There is nothing in the claim that the
legislation of 1897 was necessary TO author
lie some one to demand an accounting from
the company, demand and receive payment
of the money found due upon such account
ing, and execute a proper receipt therefor.
Since 1852 the auditor of state has been au-
thoriZed to do all these things II there was
anything due to the State from the COM
pany and since 1878 the attorney general
has had full power and authority to collect,
with or without suit anything there might
be due from the company to the State under
the terms of the original charter. If the
theory of counsel for the State be correct
when they say that the company was a
trustee for the State, that all of It's earn
fngs constituted a trust fund, and the State
had a right to an accounting and payment
of what might be due TO the school fund,
without the tolls being regulated by the
LEGISLATURES then no demand before bring
