How, in the name of common sense did the
Court of Appeals reach the conclusion that
the Legislature of 1898 meant to punish bank
officials auho had no e1isteaoce, and regulate
the management Of 6amhiaog associations
achich haze been dead more than f0rty-7Gve
gears?
How did they escape the conclusion that
the banks referred to, were existing bGalkS,
and that the word, "shG1I', related to the fW-
tire instead of the past?
The Legislature of 1898 used the words
''6ank or banking association Of this State'
Did that mean the dead banks of 1860, or
the lie 6anoks of 1893? Just use yOatr moth
er qoat.
When the Legislature of 1898 declared,
that any bank officer 'SHALL" be guilty of
felony, if he borrows more than 10 per cent
Of the capital stock of the bank, does the
word "s7saz1" refer to 1860?
The Court of Appeals virtually held that 1t
did A decision" more shocklngly IN con
fict with law and sanity never disgraced jul
dicial records.
But what is there for &C. T. Ladson and
Company to gloat over?
When the panic of 1907 came, they had in
Cuba $4,000 of the banks money $4,000
borrowed by Ladson and the two officials, and
$4,000 by Ladson individually.
IF the S16O,OOO had been where the law COM
handed that it should be, the bank would
have tided over the crisis, got into the Clear
ing House Association, issued soap-wrappers
as the other Atlanta banks did; and neither
the depositors, nor the stockholders, would
have suffered.
Because of that felonious use of the banks
funds, nine thousand depositors were Grip
pied, and the stockholders lost the entire
100000 that they had invested in the bank
Three separate and distinct sections Of our
Criminal Code were violated by these three
bank-wreckers: they we're only indicted under
one section; and they got off because the Court
of Appeals, most farcically, decided" that
the word E'SHALL" means nearly fifty gears
oqo; and that the words Sang bank Of this
Stote'', in the act of 1898, means sang bank
that used to be IN this State prior to the CivI
War;
One of the St. Louis boodlers got loose
from the Folk prosecutions because the ar

Another lawbreaker escaped, because In one
place his name appeared as "Cohn'', instead
of "Cohen"

the game in similar luck.

SOCIETY DANCER AT
PRESS CLUB SHOW
Mrs. Horton Phipps, Who Won
Fame at Kirmess, to Appear
at Entertainment

Mrs. Horton Forrest Phipps, pre-
miere danseuse at society's recent kir-
mess, and who it was reported several
days ago was considering a profess
sienal career, has promised to dance at
the Press clubs Three Years After"
show
Mrs. Phipps made the promise last
night. and besides that promised to be
on hand for a rehearsal at the Van
Ness theater Saturday afternoon, un
less she is forced 10 leave town. 1t is
possible that society's clever dancer
may be called away, as her husband.
who leaves tomorrow for the north on
may take her with him, or may send
for her.
Even Phipps has volunteered to do
all he can toward allowing his tai
ented wife to again appear before the
public. He has promised to try to de-
lay his trip until after the performance
in order to allow her to appear, which
makes her appearance nearly certain.
Il would be oenghted to have my
wife dance at the Three Years After
entertainment" said Phipps last night
Il have an important business engage
ment out of the city the first of the
week, and 1t is necessary that 1 leave
Saturday. Mrs. Phipps will undoubt-
edly go with me, but I think it can
be arranged so that she will be able
to appear
Mrs. Phipps herself declared that she
would be delighted to dance and would
do everything in her power to per-
suade her husband to postpone his trip
Mrs. Phipps is not stranger to the
stage. She danced not only during the
kirmess, but danced professionally IN
one of Florence Roberts plays at the
Majestic theater before the fire.
According to the present arrange
ments, Mrs. Phipps will appear In
Spanish dances. and the Tarantella,
which, it is said, is her most charming
dance. and will probably prove the fea-
ture of most attractive program in
which the best talent of the city is
included
The sale of seats for the performance
has been unusually large. Seats are on
sale at Sherman, Clay & Co.'S.

WILSON ON TRIAL
FOR BOAS' DEATH
Alleged Author of ''Poison Lett
ter" Faces Jury on Charge
of Murder

John Walter Wilson. charged with
the murder of Harry Boas by sending
him strychnine in the guise of head
ache powders. was placed on trial in
Judge Dunnes court yesterday. Ten
jurors were sworn in. The remaining
two will be obtained today, and the
taking of testimony begun. Wilson
is defended by Attorneys Mercer Far
rar and Norman Harvey.
Assistant District Attorney Ferrari,
who is conducting the prosecution, says
the evidence to be introduced will
constitute one of the strongest cir
cumstantial cases ever presented to, a
jury in this city. The case hinges
largely on the Identification of the
handwriting of different letters. The
so called poison Letter" was signed
Charles NJ. Halves. NJ. D." 1t purport-
ed to have been written in San Jose,
but was mailed in this city December
2, 1908, and delivered by special mes
senger to Boas the same afternoon.
Boas took the powders before retiring
TO bed that night and died within an
hour
large number OF letters admitted
ly written by Wilson. nave been COM
pared by Theodore Kytka, handwrit-
Ing expert, with the poison letter.
and Kytka will testify that Wilson
wrote the missive that accompanied the
strychnine.
Evidence has also been gathered by
the prosecution showing that the pa
per upon which the poison letter" was
written was identical with paper
found in Wilson's room.
The prosecution will make a point
of the fact that on the morning fol-
lowing Boas' death Wilson said to the
elevator boy in the building in which
Boas conducted his electrical business,
Isn't 1t hell about Harry?" while aft
erward, to the detectives in the Office
he pretended to know nothing about
the death.
Boas was the proprietor of the Pen-
nant electric company in the Williams
building at Third and Mission streets.
Wilson worked for him as solicitor.

city. meeting the public and explaining

attention by the immense sale of his
medicine and by the crowds of people
who flock to talk with him.

Louis and other cities people called on
him by tens of thousands and he Sc
cured an enormous following from
those whom he had converted TO his
theories.
Cooper's chief claim is that the hu
man race are sick and we'll largely
through the way they treat their di-
gestive organs. He says that Amer
leans abuse themselves in this regard
and need educating. He remains in
city from thirty to sixty days and is
said to be something of a philanthro-
pist. giving a certain portion of his in
come to people in distress. During his
recent stay in New York he took five
