OLIVER TESTIFIES IN
BANKRUPTCY CASE

BAINBRIDGE, Ga, July 3.-The first
meeting of the creditors Of A. d. oliver,
alleged multi-millionaire, and the South
ern Manufacturing company, was contin-
ued here today, Judge w. c. Lane, referee,
of Valdosta, presiding. The meeting
was full of interest both from the stand
point of the creditors and OF the onlook-
ers.
Oliver was on the stand half Of the
morning and all the afternoon and wher
court adjourned he was still witness.
oliver testified that when he got to Gil
max the first of this year before he start
ed operations, he had something like ten
thousand dollars in money on him, and
PennsySl vania railroad stock to the value
of $50 900; when questioned as to the man
ner in which he secured this money and
stock he got very much confused and
at that point his lawyers objected to
any testimony on that line on the ground
that he could not be forced to give In
eliminating evidence against himself.
The point was overruled and upon the
referee insisting upon him answering that
question he announced that upon advice OF
his counsel he would refuse to answer
that question. There were numbers OF
questions along this line, but each time
oliver would answer with the same stole
expression, upon advice of counsel l re-
fuse to answer that question" The
counsel advised him not to answer those
questions, and his attorneys announced
that the only conversation they had ever
had with their client on the subject was
there in the court room.
The Judge again insisted upon oliver
telling where he got the ten thousand
dollars and the fifty thousand dollars
worth of railroad stock and Oliver
still made the reply that question, 1
refuse to answer.
One of the sensational features OF
the trial was when the lawyer for
the creditors asked oliver what dis
position he had made of the Pennsyl-
vania stock and he replied that ne hao
given II to f. A. Mize to secure him
for a debt of $4,000 Mr.. Mize was
in the courtroom at the time anu
laughed at the assertion of oliver.
when seen afterward. Mr.. Mize de-
MED absolutely that he had ever maze
any such deal with oliver.
The evidence further developed the
fact that oliver had written % Mr.
Mize after he had been incarcerated
and asked him to come to the jail 20
see him and while there had made a
proposition to help him get out of this
trouble and he would get up enough
money to pay all his creditors.
Mr. Mize, it seems, had paid no at
| tention to the request of oliver, but
instead had sworn out a criminal war
rant against him. There were several
times on the stand that oliver seemed
to get confused and mixed on his
dates. but on the whole he was calm
and collected.
The facts brought out today seem
to indicate that both the bankrupt es-
tates that are on trial are very much
involved.

RAILROAD BONDS
HELD BY M'LEND0N

II appears from a statement signed by
W. H. Patterson, vice president OF the
Central Bank and Trust Corporation, that
s G. McLendon, deposed railroad COM
missioner, owned for a period of three
months, twenty-five bonds of the Athens
Electric Railroad company, valued at
S25 OO0 He owned the bonds from the
23d day of July, 1908, until the I'D day
of October, 1908, when they were sold to
New York financier, believed to be
Morton B. Plant.
Asked concerning to whom the bonds
were delivered by the Central Bank and
Trust Corporation, Vice President Pat
terson, Friday morning, was not positive
though he recalled that Mr.. Plants
name was mentioned in connection with
the matter.
Asked, further, as to the price paid by
the purchaser for the bonds, Mr.. Patter-
son again was not positive, but he was
under the impression that IT might have
been at a small advance, probably one
half of one per cent, over the price at
which they we're delivered to the bank.
Mr. Patterson's statement, which Is in
the form of a letter addressed to Mr.. Nc
Tendon, indicates that the bonds were de-
lIvered to the Central Bank and Trust
corporation by officers of the Athens
Electric company. The bank, Mr.. Patter-
son stated to a Journal representative
Friday morning. advanced the par value
of the bonds, plus the accrued interest,
something over $4,000.
1.-The bank did not buy the bonds" ex-
planned Mr.. Patterson. verbally, land Mr..
McLendon gave his demand note for the
amount advanced pending the subsequent
transfer of the bonds to a New York
hnancier. who Mr.. McLendon expected to
take the securities.
The New Yorker could not be reached
at the time the bonds were deposited with
