Did Higher Up Orders
Delay Hatching?
Some Dates that May Throw Light
Onto the Finch Complaint
Now Signed by
Cuyler.

The Cuyler complaint against the A.
receivership made in words after the
manner and form of the busted Nc
Bee-Finch fiasco carries with it some
dates worth thinking about.
The compliment of Cuyler, the New
York owner of thirty-seven shares,
was filed here by Attorney Woodville
Fleming, of New York, and Attorney
Day, of Raleigh on Monday, the End
of May, but the papers with it show
that it was ready to file two weeks be-
fore that date
The verification of the complaint
was made by Cuyler in New York on
the 18th of April as this shows on
the goth of April Fleming arrived in
Raleigh with the complaint in his pos
session and after confering here with
Capt. Day and Captain McBee left on
the 21St on the extra Seaboard Air
Line made up to go to Norfolk, Meth
er Fleming, Finch nor Day saying
word about the affair except to those
of the inner circle, and leaving on the
northbound Seaboard with heads close
together, evidently talking about the
second hand appeal for a receivership
which they had in process of incuba-
ton.
They had evidently set on the eggs
here, for two days later the prosecu-
ton bond of $500 was completely
signed up. Fleming signed it as attor
ney for Cuyler, and the payment of
the bond was further guaranteed by
the United States Fidelity and Guar
anty company of Baltimore, through
Mr.. w. B. Jones, their local represen-
tative in Raleigh.
With the complaint ready on the
18th, Woodville Fleming here on the
Goth, and the bond fully signed on the
Esd, it looks as if the representatives
of the new "orator were waiting for
something else to happen, as they de-
layed in filing their complaint but
kept it we'll in soak. Were they wait
ing to get fuller directions from
HIGHER JP?''
The mysterious gathering and NOV
ing about of Finch, Fleming and
Day were noted and told of in this pa
per on the 22nd and oath, and it was
regarded as certain that it was a case
of another hen on" and SO it proved
But why, oh why was the "onto the
game" crowd so secretive and shy and
bashful, and why did they hold off so
long after they were fixed for the bus
mess? That's question that is re-
fered to the Conspiracy Organs.
