The managers of the cotton mill COM

perior Court to-day two cases came to an
end that have, since 1891. occupied a con-
spicuous position in all litigation that has

given out for publication occur iilustra-
lions of this Pc mt which are not in the
mailed letter to me. In the published
letter he remarks that the Vanderbilt
railroad, when it purchased Lake Shore
stock, gave $1,000 of its own bonds for
each 81 GOO Of Lake Shore stock. This may
be true, but it is not the parallel of Mr..
Williams proposed transaction. Ii does
not appear in the Lake Shore matter that
Mr.. William K. Vanderbilt, having given
Central bonds for Lake Shore stocks
thereafter proceeded TO put into his and
his friends pockets an amount of common
and preferred stock twice as great as the
stocks purchased. Nor does it appear that
Mr.. Vanderbilt paid to himself any com
missions on the purchase. He
neither gave himself and his friends
s2S.Oo0.O00 of stocks as bonus. nor
did he give himself end his partners So
100000 as a commission.
Mr. Williams must cite a case where
fhe vendor and trustee, being also vendee
and purchasing syndicate pays interest
bearing bond, dollar for dollar, for stocks
OF certain and uncertain value. and then
as Vender gives and as vendee takes twice
that sum in additional stocks, and then
as commission agent absorbs 81. 600, Goa
more. If Mr.. Williams can find 10 the
records a case of this kind, he will have

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
But stoy was Held for Arson on
General Principles.

Augusta Jan. "A preliminary investi-
cation was ned to-day before Magistrate
John Vaughan in the case Of W. c. Stoy.
charged with arson in setting fire to the
Perkins Manufacturing Company's plant.
The evidence was circumsiantai consist
ing only IN proving that stoy was in the
vicinity, and that when the alarm was
turned in. she was in Asbury Methodist
Church dnd exclaimed:
IT'S Perkins lumber yard. l told you
there was going to be hot time in the
Old town tonight"
Witnesses also testified mat others in
the church had exclaimed that it was
Perkins place, the fire being visible from
the church windows. 1t was also shown
that Stoy was very drunk. 1t was SHOWN
that the frequency of fires had made it a
matter Of talk among people in the COM
munily, and that many more or less prom
nent citizens had made during the day
prior TO the fire such remarks as Il will
meet you at the fire tonight" and so
far as compromising speeches were con-
cerned, were just as open TO suspicion as
Stoy.
In spite of all this, however, Justice
Vaughan bound Stoy over to the Superior
Court under $l.00O bond which was fur
nished by friends of the prisoner The
fact that Stoy was known to have this
mania when drinking and that he was
drunk the night of che fire is about the
strongest evidence against him. 1t is not
proba bic that another man in the COM
muntty would have been held under the
testimony that was produced against
Stoy.
