EDWARDS, WOOD & CO.
ARE DEFEATED
Found Guilty in Supreme Court Of Not
Reporting Sales as Required by


Law.
Minneapolis Tribune, Feb. 10, 1905:
THE supreme court has handed
down a decision in the famous case
against Edwards, Wood & Co. a Cham
Der OF Commerce firm, or more exactly
the members of that firm, charged
with having made false sales on ac-
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 a large
number of farmers and other shippers
of grain in North Dakota and Mime
sofa to the effect that the firm of Ed
wards, Woods & Co., who were doing
business by virtue of a license granted
and issued by the commission, had vio-
lated the commission merchants law
by Withholding in each case a 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 a lower price per
bushel than the price at which such
consisnments had actually been sold,
~defrauding the shippers in amounts
ranging from y cent to 3 cents, and
more, per buShel.
After the original complaints were
against the firm, additional ON
plants we're received, ~aggregating sev-
enty in all. 1t was decided to take up
the complaint of Victor Carlson of
Hallock, Mimi, as the first II for
trial. 1t was wOrn to by Commission

be partly attributed to the heavy med

A young man states that he had suf-

agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at nights different

system and made sleep possible.

All OF these men have been kept under
constant surveillance for years and the
police say Il would have been next TO inn

examination.
CERTIFIED WITHOUT QUESTION.
According 10 statements made by detec-
tives and Assistant District Attorney Kro-

was stolen while in transit through the

Next. with the aid OF powerful acids
the check was washed OF all the hand

This was done by using the tracings al
