who was indicted with Jno. Y. Gar

w. Lacy and true bills returned by a
Richland grand jury, last September.
on charges of conspiracy and OBJ
tanning money and other property by
false pretense and representa- tons"
was arrested in Chattanooga yester-
day, by request of the Columbia au-
thorities. A telegram was received
by Sheriff w. H. Coleman yesterday
from the sheriff of Hamilton county.
Tenn, saying that Hebert was under
arrest there and would fight extradi-
ton. The papers for extradition have
been sent to the governor Of Tennes-
see and request was made to the
tennessee authorities yesterday for
his detention until the arrival of
these documents.
Solicitor Wade Hampton Cobb re-
Gently wrote to this defendant ex-
planning that unless he came to Co.
lumbia to give bond to insure his
presence at the Court of General Ses-
sions, which meets January 4, he
would be arrested and brought here.
This letter remaining unanswered or
not acknowledged, the arrest was re-
quested. The other defendants have
all arranged satisfactorily for their
presence at the trial of the case.
The conspiracy charged is in con-
nection with the sale of the 5000
shares Of stock in the Southern Life
Insurance Company to the Seminole
Securities Company, which sale was
afterwards repudiated by the stock
holders. c. J. Hebert pronounced
ee-bair, with accent on last syllable)
was an expert stock salesman who ne
gotiated the sale, while the other de-
PENDANTS in the case were officials in
the two companies except o. H. Hall.
j. Y. Darlington was president of the
Seminole concern and J. Stobo Young
secretary. c. j. Cooper was presi-
dent of the Southern Life and B. w.
Lacy actuary. Lacy and Darlington
had come from Rome Ca, COM
pany to the two companies which
they tried to consolidate in 1908.
