CARTER IN CIVIL COURT.
CARTER'S TIME, IN PRISON
MAY NOT BE UP NOV. % AS is
GENERALLY THOUGHT.

Doubt Due to Prisoners Detention

mate of Carriers Share In Spells

S5OO,OOO-Of Remainder $4,000
Was Spent by Carter for AttOr-
neys' Fees-DecisiOn in the
Greene-GaynOr Case Expected
Soon.
Atlanta, Oct. 12.-District Attorney
Marion Erwin, who is now serving as
assistant to the Attorney General ia
the Greene-Gaynor-Carter conspiracy
case, arrived in Atlanta from New
York this morning, where he has been
taking testimony in the civil branch
of the case before a special examiner.
Mr.. Erwin is practically ready to go
to trial with the case, though the de-
tense still has considerable testimony
to take.
Mr.. Erwin has traced every one of
the transactions in which Carter was
involved from the time he received the
cash for his one-third of the profits
on harbor contracts, through the va
rious properties which were purchased,
though in some instances the money
was turned over as many as half
dozen times.
He has found in every instance that
the property to which these various
chains of transactions led was held
as the property of former Capt. Car
ter. In the six years there were forty
two divisions, Carriers share amount
ing to $4,000. OF this he has seized
and placed in the hands of receivers
about 100000. Carter spent about $780,
600 in attorneys fees and other ex-
penses and the balance is still being
sought.
There Is said to be a serious ques-
ton as to whether the former captain
Is entitled to his discharge from
Leavenworth penitentiary on Nov. %,
as he claims. 1t will be remembered
he remained about seven months in the
detention prison on Governors Island
as the result of legal delays of his own
making. 1t is claimed in some quar-
tiers that this cannot be counted as
part of his penitentiary service as there
was no labor involved and no stripes
were worn.
Mr.. Erwin thinks decision will soon
be had from the Privy Council in Lon
don relative to the extradition of
Greene and Gaynor from Canada.
