rallkner Case Goes ovsr.

The preliminary hearing of F. T. Falkner, doing business as the Bir- mingham Commission Company, who was arrested by Postofice Inspector Zimmerman several weeks ago on the charge of using the mails for fraudu- lent purposes, began before United States Commissioner Birch yesterday afternoon and continued until 12:40 this afternoon. when it went over again until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Falkner was arrested on a complaint made by Atkins and Mechanism of Glen Allen, who shipped some eggs to the Birmingham Commission Company. Falkner advertised by circular that he had installed an extensive storage plant. and was therefore able to ham die country produce to the best advan- tage. This circular is the meat of the charge of using the mails for fraudu- lent purposes. The argument con tends that he had no such plant; the defense, that he had the use of one.
 The government has examined six witnesses and the defense three or four. A great deal of time has been consumed in the elucidation of obscure points in commission and brokerage business. Morris Avenue people are very much interested in the case.
