THE NJ GINNIS CASE
An Agreement May Not
be Reached at This
Term of Court.

Solicitor Armistead Jones and At
torney General r. d. Gilmer last night
prepared the bill of indictment against
E. C. McGinnis in the dealing in flu
lures case. Both Mr.. Jones and Mr..
Gilmer were seen after the confer
ence. but they declined to give out
any information as to the contents or
provisions of the bill. because of the
fact that it is unusual for SUCH infor-
nation to be announced before it is
presented to the grand jury.
1t is highly probable, however, that
the bill Of Indictment which was
framed by the Solicitor and
the Attorney General will con-
tain two counts, that is to say,
one portion of the bill will be directed
against those who violate the act OF
1889, and the other portion against
those who violate the act of 1905.
Just a few days ago a gentleman of
this city, who manifested q disposition
to test the validity of the recent law,
Went before a justice of the peace
and made a written statement or con-
fession which was intended to present
the question of the validity of the act
of 1905, which, to the mind of the or
binary layman, would appear to COM
pass the entire situation, but after the
situation was discussed through the
columns of the News and Observer, it
appears perfectly clear that the safest
way to proceed in order to accom-
plish the ends for which this legisla-
ton was enacted is to declare upon
the act of 1889 treating the 1905 act
as amendatory, and using the act of
1905 more largely as a method of
proof in the Indictment. 1t is predict
ed that those who want to test the
matter, those who have been dealing
in futures. and those who are running
exchanges, will agree with the solicit
tor on the facts to be presented to test
the act of 1905, but if the solicitor and
the Attorney General covered the
whole field of the two acts, then no
movement for a friendly contest viii
be reached at this term of court.
The Two Acts.
The act of 1889 is directed against
the customer, and the act of 1905 en-
braces not only the customer, but the
man who acts on the exchange in con-
Quoting the transaction.

by lawyers, and more distantly by doc

civil servants. In 100000 about 1T
of these go mad. Of domestic SER
