prise to large number of tobacco dealers
throughout the country. During recent
years the Weyman Company has been one
of the chief competitors of the trust, 1t is

were made during the last two years by
the trust to secure controlling interest in
the local company.
The purchase price has been stated at
various figures between 81 500, 900 and
81, 900 900. Details Of the transaction, as

no formal charge against DR.. Morgan but
he is held for further examination.
DR.. Morgan told Coroner Scholer that
he had signed the death certificate OF the
girl and assigned the cause Of death with
out even having seen the patient. DR..
Morgan said that DR.. Kinney had assured
him that the case was perfectly regular,
but had said that the Board Of Health was
after him and that no matter what cause
OF death was given an investigation would
follow II his name appeared on a certificate
OF death. DR.. Morgan said that he signed
the paper as favor to his friend and stated
that he believed suoh favors 20, be rather
