VIM. ADLER AGAIN CONVICTED.


The second trial OF William Adler for
Of the funds of the late
State National Bank, of which he was
president, was concluded in the United
States district court at New Orleans On
January 20, and the jury brought IN .
verdict of guilty on eighty counts. 1t was
quite generally thought the outcome would
be either mistrial OF an acquittal. hence
the accused and his friends were greatly
taken aback by the contrary result. Ihs
iury was out less than two hours. which
indicated that there were no serious dill
ferences of opinion among them as to the
proper finding in the case. ss
District Attorney Charlton K. Beattie
ard National Bank Examiner ]. M. Logan
conducted the prosecution in mastery
manner and were more than match Tor
the array of eminent counsel employed BY
the defense Attorney General Wicker
sham telegraphed his congratulations to
Messrs. Beattie and Logan. and many
similar assurances Of appreciation and
commendation were rendered the able
young district attorney from other sources.
Mr.. Adler is at large on an appearance
bond OF $40, 900. and it is to be presumed
his attorneys will exhaust every legal
right and expedient to save him from the
ienozniay Of imprisonment. The first step
will doubtless be to move for a new trial,
and when this is overruled an appeal
taken to the United States circuit court OF
appeals will be next in order.
1t will be recalled that shortly before
the failure of the State National Bank III
1907. Mr.. Adler chartered a steamship.
loaded it With merchandise and sailed for
Central America. The ship was wrecked
off the coast of Honduras, but the crew
were rescued and reached beiiaa in safety
After remaining nearly year Tn Hon
dufas and Nicaragua, where he had ex-
rensive mining interests. Adler returned
to New Orleans, was tried and convicted
receiving sentence Of SIX years conf1ne-
ment ia the federal prison AZ Atlanta.
The circuit court set aside the verdict on
appeal. and this encouraged the belief OF
the accused and his friends-that he would
60 scot free or at least escape conviction
#on second trial. His downfall ID at
tributed to speculation in railroad and
mining stocks, and it is conceded that he
saved nothing from the wreck Of his
financial fortunes.

Between
Ourselves

Governor Dix, of New York, re-
Gently signed a bill introduced by
Senator Howard r.. Bayne, of New
Brighton, which makes false state
ments as to the value and location
of real estate In newspaper adver-
tisements and circulars a MISDE-
MEANoR, subject to a fine of one
thousand dollars or n years i'm
prisonment or both.
We don't suppose there is an
HONEST zeal estate dealer in the
State of New York that will resent
this new law, but II certainly treads
upon the corns of some.
We shall watch the workings of
the new law with a great deal of
interest, because we believe the
time is not far distant when there
will be a law in THIS State over-
ing not only real estate advertising,
but DEPARTMENT STORE ADVER-
TISING as well.
We suggested such a law as this
came of 1t. If an HONEST PUB
LICITY law is a good thing for New
York State. why would II not be a
good thing for New Jersey?
We should hail such a law as
this with ACTUAL DELIGHT. The
sooner II and the more classes
of advertising it affects, the better
we shall like 1t!
