FAT RETURNS

ST. PAUL, Minn,s May 16-United
States District Attorney Haupt to-day re-
ceived a copy of the oral opinion recently
delivered by Judge Lochran in the United
States District Court at Minneapolis in
the case of the Hathorn Mutual Com
mission Company against Postmaster w
d. Hale of Minneapolis to restrain the
Postmaster from preventing the delivery
of mail addressed to the company and
from refusing to pay money orders drawn
In its favor. Judge Dochran dismissed
the bill of the plaintiffs on the ground
that the company was engaged in fraudu-
lent business. The company is classed by
the District Attorneys office as "a get
rich-quick' concern, and one which is
doing a gigantic business throughout the
United States
The men interested in the Hathorn
Commission Company are Arthur z. Hat
horn, S W.eDevore. E. ID. Ziesel and N.
a Sprong, sall of whom are under indict-
ment by the Federal Grand Jury on
charges of using the mails to defraud.
The concern, according TO Haupt, was
fairly reaping a harvest of money until
its mail was stopped, and even now
Hanpt is of the opinion that it is receiv-
ing mail through a dummy.
The company has previously had fraud
orders issued against it and has always.
reappeared under new name. 1t was
once known as the Devore Diamond Com
pany, but fraud order stopped it's bust
ness and the Hathorn Mutual Commission
Company was the result. the new COM
pany it is charged by Federal officials,
operating under the plan of the old one.
The scheme of the company was to is
sue certificates at $50, which the COM
pany promised would eventually be worth
s160. The payments were to be made S.
down and 81 % per week until the full
$50 was paid. OF the weekly payments s.
cents was to go into the redemption fund,
10 cents to the cou1pany's use and the re-
carrying on the business. AS ofteA as
there might be $50 in the redemption
fund the lowest certificate would be paid.

wife murder, rested it's case to-day.

the testimony of DIR. Kolisher, the ex-
pert of the defense, in regard to tae
symptoms of arsenical poisoning. Dr.

denied that the symptoms given by DR..
Kolisher as necessary to a death by
arsenical poisoning need be present.
In anafyzing the evidence for the
jury. States Attorney Healy pictured
Hoch as a cold-blooded murderer. At
torney Healy dwelt on the sufferings of
Mrs. Welcker- Hoch in her last mo-
ments and pictured Hoch fiendishly
watching and waiting for the end.
Pointing an accusing finger at the pris-
oner, the States attorney denounced
Hoch as scheming murderer, a fiend
and a criminal of the lowest type. Hoch
shifted uneasily at the scathing words
of the prosecuting attorney and con-
tinueusly shook his head as though to
deny the accusation.

There is 90 more influential man
in the Republican party Of the Old
North State than that able and up
right jurist, Judge Spencer B. Ad.
ANS, of Greensboro, nor one who is
more widely liked by men of all
parties. For the past three years
Judge Adams has been presiding
over special court in the Indian
Territory, which was created by
Congress for the specific purpose of
determining who were bora fide
claimants to citizenship in the five
civilized tribes. When asked by a
Post reporter, at the Raleigh, his
opinion regarding Indian Territory
affairs, Judge Adams said:
81 am happy to state that our
court has finished the work for
which it was called into existence,
and those. who know its history will
admit that the amount of business
dispatched was not only gigantic,
but of extraordinary difficulty. am
personally glad to get back to my
old home. The Indian Territory lie
an excellent country for young men
of adventurous temperament and no
family ties, but it does not appeal
to men who have grown to mature
years under an older civilization.
