COMPROMISE In

Company Affairs
DR.. CRAWFORD WAS
ORGANIZER OF COMPANY

AS the result of a conference held
in this city yesterday, in which the
Board of Directors Of the Enterprise
Casualty Company were represented
by George S. Graham and Joseph
Gilhllan. of Philadelphia, as counsel,
and the dissatisfied stockholders by
Ruby R. Vale. the affairs of the COM
pany will probably be placed in the
hands of a committee in which the
Delaware interests predominant. This
will be in the nature of a compromise
between the two factions, the Phils-
delphia interests and the Board of
Directors avoiding the publicity and
the expense against which they have
struggled, while the Wilmington in
vestors are given free rein to investi-
gate the company's affairs and to take
possession of its management. The
expected fight, which seemed newt
able as soon as the petition for a re-
ceiver was entered, is postponed by
this arrangement until the committee
makes its report and is ready to dis
tribute the assets of the company.
Interesting details regarding the
formation and management of the
company were brought to light yes
terday when it was discovered that
its real organizer and hacker at the
outset was none other than Dr. J. X.
Crawford who is now in Jail, charged
with misappropriating the funds of
the American Trust Company. He
it was who interested Lloyd " Gill
liam, the former treasurer, now
charged with a shortage of about S25,-

Paul Bright, of this city, who later
became treasurer of the National

ering the affidavits Of Andrew Crossan

mony of Detective James p. Ratledge,
the Board of Pardons yesterday after

Attorney General Gray was request
ed by the board to produce before it

not appear IL also was testified that
Crossan could not be found after max
ing his affidavit to the effect that
Goodwin at no time in his presence had
offered Oliver any money or valuable
thing for his vote. The affidavit re-
pudiated the original testimony of
Crossan, who at the trial corroborated
Oliver.

Crossan making the statement to him
that Goodwin had made no offer to
Oliver in his presence. Mr.. Ratledge
also told of Crossan signing the state
ment he made, and later of making
