AYCOCK CLOSES
TOBACCO ARGUMENTS
CASE OF WARE-KRAMER COM
PANY VS.. TOBACCO TRUST
REACHES JURY TO-
DAY,

Especial 10 The Richmond Virginian.)
ASHEVILLE. VA, July l1.--After
four weeks of consideration of the
case the Federal court has reached
the conclusion of the argument in
the damage suit of Ware X ramer
Company vs.. the American Tobacco
Company, in which $1,200,o00 dam
ages Is asked for the destruction OK
the Ware Kramer cigarette business
by the American Tobacco Company.
The final argument for the defen-
dant was made to-day by eX-Gover-
nor Aycock in speech that con-
sumed the greater part of the ses-
sion for the day. and in which he re-
viewed the evidence and insisted that
the Ware X ramer Company was
proven in cross examinations to be
guilty of all the Illegal things com
planned of against the American To-
bacco Company and in reality the
American Tobacco Company has gone
steadily forward attending to its own
business.
The Aycock speech followed that
of r. S. Spruills. in which he made
the plea for the Ware Kramer Com
pany that the company was the VIC
tim of the established policy of the
American Tobacco Company to kill
or buy all competition. the Ware
Kramer Company having been mark
ed for destruction after its promo
ters had turned deaf ears to pro-
posals to desist from organization
and accept positions with the Amerl-
can Tobacco Company. Wednesday
morning the charge to the jury by
Judge Conner will be delivered and
then the jury will take the case. The
general expectation seems to be that
there will be verdict for the plain
lifts for some amount.
