BY FRAUD THIS
BANKRUPT LOST
-
An Important Decision is
Handed Down By Judge
Isaac
LOSES HOMESTEAD OF $1,000
J. L. Dredee, Trading as the Nichols
Trading Company, is Charged
With WiIIful Fraud-synopsis
of the Decision.
LOSES HOMESTEAD OF 900

A debtor guilty or willful fraud
in the concealment of part of his pro-
perty from his creditors of which he
was possessed when he seeks the ben
eft of the exemption shall on account
of his fraud lose the benefit of such
exemption, and his property shall be
subject to the payment of all just
debts which he owed at the time such
fraud was committed. The bankrupt
must come into court with clean
hands. He must make a full and fair
disclosure of his assets not rest CON
tent because perchance his creditors
may not discover the concealment."
Thus read the decision handed down
by Judge Max Isaac in the bankruptcy
case of j. l.. Dredge, trading as the
Nichols Trading Company, of Mich
oils, Ga, who filed an application
for bankruptcy some time ago, and
sought an exemption of $1,000.
The court concluded that The facts
brought to light developed a clear
case of fraud. According to the state
ment of the bankrupt he commenced
business with assets of $1,000 and liza
bilities of 81 500. He ran business
for about three months and then filed
his petition in bankruptcy with assets
of $1,8GS.65 and liabilities of $4,490. As.
The only explanation of this vast
shrinkage in assets which the bank,
rupt could render was that he bought
cotton for merchandise giving seven
and eight cents for it and reseiling
the same for five and six cents. This
he admitted was done while the price
of cotton was advancing in the Sa-
yannah and other markets On this
point court says:
"As an explanation coming from a
sensible business man of more OF less
experience, this excuse is too extra
ordinary and unusual to admit of be
lief. Business men do not exchange
merchandise for cotton and resell the
same at loss when lhe market is
advancing. The story is too unreas-
enable TO be true"
The effect of this decision will be to
deny the bankrupt of a homestead
of $1,000.

RESTRAINING ORDER
STOPS THE SALE OF
B. & B. ROAD TODAY

Kay, Bennett and Conyers and f. e.
IWitty, local counsel for the B. & b.,
were all participants. The news was
a thunderbolt. Col. Kay hastily re
ceived the timely message from Judge
Speer and with bated breath read it
to his conferees. After that there
was nothing doing. Mr.. Ogg and in
turn all parties at interest we're mott.
fed OF the Injunction and in a few
minutes a transformation scene oc.
CURED that beggars description. The
wires were set to work; arrangements
for the sale were called off and a gen
eral state of chaos existed. Very
soon the news scattered broadcast
ever the city aud finally it was official
ly announced that the sale of the pro-
perty would not occur.
A News representative was dispatch
ed to the oglethorpe to intervied Mr..
ogg, who had retired, but sent the fol
lowink note to the reporter.
4 have been served with restraining
order issued by Judge Emory Speer
IN case Of the Ensign-O Oscamp Lum.
Der Company VS.. the B. & B. Railroad
Coml any. ct al The order is account
able at Mt. Airy August s. The sale
will not take place tomorrow but will
be postponed until Auguts 8. l have
no copy Of papers in the case but only
the restraining ORDER
This practically tells the story. Just
what the Ensign-Oscamp people are
claiming is not known as the bin in
question has not yet been received in
Brunswick, but it is understood that
the representatives of the b. & b. are
in position TO have the temporary or
der of Judge Speer resciuded and it
is believed by them that the sale of
the road will occur on August 8
Among those who arrived in the city
yesterday and last night to witness
the sale of the property today We're:
George Dole Wadley, vice president
and general manager of the A. &
b, who arrived in his special car last
night Hon. w A. Wimbish, general
counsel Of the old b. g. b., Of Atlanta
Edward Cornell, Of New York, repre-.
senting the Knickerbocker Trust Co,
and several officials Of the A. & B.
road
A well known Brunswickian in close
touch with the general situation in
discussing the matter with a News
representative last night, expressed
the belief that eventually Judge speer
would yitiate the order in question
and that the property would finally
pass into the hands Of the A. & b.
In the meantime nothing can now
be done and all eyes are turned to

church in Chattahoochee county, yes
terday the subject of cotton futures
was discussed nearly all day.
One minister in attendance said that
if he had known last fall what the
price of cotton would be this summer
he would be richer by thousands OF
dollars now. as he would have availed
himself of the information. The min
lister was alone in his position, all the
others condemning speculation.
One farmer, prominent Chattahoo-

was too fascinating, and he would ad

THE ASSASSIN OF
MINISTER Won PlFHVF
HAS BEEN MURDERED

1t is known that 1,700,228 cubic yards
of earth and 921.1S2 cubic yards of
stone and rock have been excavated,
36S,606 cubic yards of rock tunnelled
130,0SS tons of steel, 15,S02 tons of
cast iron and 1858 cubic yards of
brick used in the work, to say nothing
of the hundreds of thousands of cubic
yards of water-proofing and concrete
and stone and the 100000 linear feet
of steel track and the hundreds of
thousands of tons of other material
one realized that vast undertaking
has been accomplished.
The difficulties of the work, too,
have been without parallel. Fifteen
miles of sewerage had to be taken
up and relaid-many of them almost
as big as the subway itself. There
were miles and miles of gas mains and
water pipes and conduits that twined
themselves in and out and crossed
and recrossed the path of the under
ground railway like labyrinth. There
were elevated railways and surface
railways that had to be undermined,
but so bolstered up by artificial con-
struction that the daily transportation
and traffic of the great city was not
disturbed. Blocks and blocks of busy
Broadway in the upper part Of the city
were followed out like flute. Tun-
nes We're fearlessly bored under lower
Broadway, reaching almost to the very
foundations of the big skyscrapers
andbrushing against the walls of Trim
ity church, while above the rumble of
the electric cars and the rattle OF
the carts never ceased. In regard to
the cost it is sufficient to state that
it amounted to a million dollars a
mile.
