Government Rests In the
Whiskey Frauds.
ARGUMENT MONDAY
1t is Expected That the Defendants
Will Introduce no Testimony and
That the Lawyers Will
Therefore Take the
Case Then.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Greensboro n. c., April 30.-At five
O'Clock this evening in the whiskey
frauds case, District Attorney Holton
announced that he would rest the
case Of the government against T. M.
Angle, b. r. Sprinkle and VIM. Young.
Judge Boyd ordered court to adjourn
until Monday.
For the past two days evidence ad-
duced has been directed towards con-
Meeting with the transactions defend
ants, whose names did not appear on
any of the government records or
other transactions in connection with
the various companies in North Caro-
lima or the seven Western States, all
these records and transactions being
invariably in the names of j. 7.
Sprinkle or H. c. Sprinkle, they not
being on trial, having absconded.
The testimony of experts in hand
writing has been presented, all of
whom without hesitation by inspec-
ton of documents bonds, etc, con-
tanning genuine signatures of all five
parties and comparing these with sig
natures on government reports,
checks, business letters, ETC., show
that b. T. Sprinkle and Wm. Young
filed up the blanks of Oak Grove and
Reidsville liquor companies reports,
signed J. t. Sprinkle and H. c.
Sprinkle, the proprietors names, al
most in every instance.
To make identification of the names
j. I. Sprinkle or H. G. Sprinkle, which
were signed by b. f. Sprinkle more
patent, the expert pointed out re-
markable coincidence. In every name
signed by B. F. Sprinkle, without ex-
ception, his handwriting showed that
Sprinkle as he wrote it, had the ap-
pearance of Sprinkle" on every
check, letter, blank, filed in report or
receipt. Witnesses also testified that
on the twenty-five reports to the col
lector which were signed j. T..
Sprinkle for Oak Grove liquor COM
pany, and purported to have been
sworn to before A. O. Starbuck divis-
ion deputy collector, and attested by
him and which Starbuck swore he
had never seen before, the name was
in the handwriting of b. f. Sprinkle,
with the tell tale "Sprinkee" charac-
teristic. Numberless letters, invoices
of goods shipped Northern liquor deal
ers with attached sight drafts for col
lection were introduced by the govern
ment showing further connection of
VIM. oYung, and b. F. Sprinkle with
the Oak Grove and ReidSville LIQUOR
companies.
The last witness, Special Gauger r.
b. Sans produced books showing that
It. NJ. Angle had reported packages
shipped to other points which were
found with VIM. Young in Reidsville,
and with this last round completing
the circuit of alleged connection OF
Angle, Sprinkle and Young with the
operations of the companies before
sworn to have been operating to de-
fraud the government out of revenue.
the district attorney states that he
would rest the case. 1t is thought the
defendants will introduce no testimony
but that argument will begin Monday
morning. Defendants counsel decline
to state what course thew will take
