Found Guilty In Supreme Court of Not
Reporting Sales 40 Required BY
Law. 5s 5 N .s
Minneapolis Tribune, Feb. 1S, 1905:
"The supreme court has handed
down decision in the famous case
against Edwards, Wood & Co., Cham
Der of Commerce firm, or more exactly
the MEMBERS of that firm, charged
with having made false sales on ac-
count of grain shipped to them at Du-
luth by Victor Carlson Of Hallock
MINI.
THE court affirms the decision of
the municipal court of Duluth, rem
dered by Judge Winston, in which the
accused were found guilty."
The prosecution resulted from COM
plants received by the railroad and
warehouse commission from large
number of farmers and other shippers
of grain in North Dakota and Mime
sofa to the effect that the Arm of Ed.
wards, Woods & Co., who were doing
business by virtue of license granted
and issued by the commission, had vio-
lated the commission merchants law
by withholding in each case part of
the proceeds accruing from sales of
grain consigned to the firm, and that
in rendering accounts of the sales, Ed.
wards, Wood & Co. had, in each in
stance, reported lower price per
bushel than the price at which such
consignments had actually been sold,
defrauding the shippers in amounts
