CARTER CANNOT
ENJOY HIS LOOT
GOVERNMENT WINS SUIT TO RE.
TAIN 100000 IN BONDS.
STORED IN VARIOUS BANKS.
Judge kohlsaat, In the Federal Court
at Chicago, Renders the Final.
Decision in a Celebrated
Case.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Judge Kohlsaat
In the United States circuit court. rem.
dered decision Thursday i'm favor of
the government In the suit against
Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, formerly Uni.
ted States army engineer, charged
with having defrauded the federal gov.
ernment to the extent of $70O, 900
through conspiracy with Contractors
Greene and Gaynor.
The court ruled that Carter was not
entitled to the 100000 i'm railroad
bonds and other securities traced by
the government to safety deposit
vaults and banks in various parts of
the country. Under the decision the
government will retain these securi.
ties and the famous case, which re.
suited in the conviction of Carter and
of Greene and Gaynor and the impos.
ing of penitentiary sentences, is
brought to close.
Funds OF Capt. Carter which the
government claims were proceeds of
Carter's colusion with Greene and
Gaynor, are tied up by suits pending
in the federal courts of New York
New Jersey, West Virginia, Georgia
and Illinois. BY agreement all these
suits were consolidated and tried be
fore Judge Kohlsaat in the United
States circuit court in Chicago about
a year ago. 1t Is the claim of Carter
that the funds in question were given
him by his fatherin-law. the late
Robert +. Wescott, of New York.
Westcott was charged by the gov
ernment with having made invest
ments of funds sent to him by Carter
which funds, 1t was alleged, were part
of the funds diverted by Carter and
Greene and Gaynor.
The case grew out of the construc
tion of river and harbor improvements
on the coast of Georgia. The govern
ment prosecutors contended that the
army officer and the contractors de-
frauded the government in the sum oi
S2,225,0OO, and that one-third OF this
amount, or about $750Q00, went to
Carter. After several years work
100000 invested by Carter in various
states was traced and seized.
The hearing before Judge Kohlsaat
extended over several weeks and
scores of witnesses were examined

Martins Ferry, o., Jan. 1O.--The
views of William II. Taft, secretary of

that he believes ut 70 be highly benc.
ficial and entirely lawful for laborers
to unite in their common interests"
proceeding directly to the answer of
the questions propoundcd he says:
"Fiist--Gou ask me what T would
think of the enactment OF law defin-
Ing the cases in which a temporary re.
stralning order may issue and deiin.
ing in specific terms the language in
which such order may be franz
ed. see no objection to .he
enactment of a statute which shall
define the rights of laborers in

would necessarily furnish definite

which injunctions might issue, as wei.

"Second-You ask me what | think
OF a provision that no Injunction shall
issue except after notice to the de-
fendant and hearing had This was
the rule under the federal statutes for
many years. but il was subsequently
abolished. In the class of cases to
which you refer do not see any OBJ
lection to the re.enactment of that
federal statute. Indeed, | have said in
public speeches that the power to is.

justice to laborers engaged in a

IN answer to your third question,
1t would seem that It is unnecessary
to impose any limitation as 70 the
time for final hearing. If, before an
injunction can issue at ALL notice and
hearing must be given. In such case.
l should think It proper that the stat

sued an opportunity to have a hearing
thereon within three or four days"
