HEINzE IS SCORED.
Will Ask Stay of Sentence Pending an
Appeal.

New York, July Arthur P.
Heinze, sentenced to serve ten days
on Blackwelps Island for obstructing
the administration of justice in the
case of the United Copper company
proceeding is handled severely in the
decision of the circuit court of appeals
affirming his conviction The deci-
sion which was announced on Tues
day, has just been made public. 1t
says:
1.-The testimony not objected to and
not contradicted shows beyond the
slightest doubt that the defendant sent
Tracy Buckingham (wanted as a wit
ness before the federal grand jury
out of the country and furnished him
money to go out and stay out; and in
the most fragrant manner attempted
to obstruct and impede, and had OBJ
structed and impeded the administra-
ton of justice of the circuit court of
the United States. The sentence that
the trial court saw fit to impose does
not indicate the serious nature of the
offense."
Counsel for Heinze will apply within
q few days for a stay of the issuance
of the mandamus of the circuit court,
pending appeal to the United States
supreme court. The mandate will be
filed within ten days after the filing of
the courts decision and unless a stay
shall have been granted by that time
Heinze will have to begin to serve his
prison sentence.

man colony in South Africa, where
more than $4,000. 10000 has been spent
in development. The German mines
syndicate which has it's cutting fac
tories in Antwerp and New York.
Though a few large stones have
been found in the German South At
rican mines ranging from 5 to II car
ats, the average weight thus far is
one-third of carat. Only one or two
shipments of the rough stones have
been made to Now York as diamond
cutters here object to cutting stones of
less than three eighths of a carat in
weight, but large quantities of these
small stones after being cut in Ant
werk and Amsterdam have been sent
to New York for the use of jewelry
manufacturers in this and other cities.
The yield of the diamonds in the
German colony has increased to 10000
carats month and the quality has
also improved, so that the price per
carat is now nearly double what it
was nine months ago
