pOncmcnt Results.

Augusta, Ga, June 9.-Thc demur-
rer OF Is. Sherwood Dunn Of Aiken
and New York, director of the Citi-
zens' Trust company, was overruled
by the Supreme Court here today and
the case was ordered for trial under
the indictment. Dunn's counsel there
upon withdrew their demand for i'm
mediate trial and the case goes over
for hearing until next term of su-
periOr court Dunn later gave notice
of appeal to the supreme court.
5. II. Myers, n local attorney who
was indicted after the failure of the
Citizens Trust company last summer,
filed demurrer which was sustained
in the court this morning and the IN
dictment was dismissed. The indict-
ment charged that Myers, as a di-
rector of the Citizens Trust, received
moneys from dcpositors after he knew
the institution was insolvent. The
court held that the defendant could
not be tried for receiving money which
he did not receive, and, accordingly
sustained the demurrer.

washington, June 9.--The consti-
tutionality of the Sherman antitrust
law as a criminal statute was upheld
today by the United States supreme
court The court set aside the sem
tences I'm the criminal suit against the
"turpentine trust"on the ground that
the trial Judge had delivered an
erroneous instruction to the jury, but
rejected the contention of the de-
PENDANTS that 'the rule of reason" an

made the forbidden acts so indefinite
as to make the Sherman law as a
criminal statute unconstitutional.
The decision sustains the sherman
law" said Attorney General Mercy
nolds tonight.
Active suit for the dissolution of
the trust is still pending in the lower
courts.
The convictions OF Ave officials of
the American Naval Stores company
OF Savannah--the socalled turpentine
trust-for criminal violation of the
Sherman law were set aside by the
court because OF an erroneous instruc-
ton OF the trial judge. Justice Pitney
was the only dissenter to the opinion.
Edmund s. Nash, president OF the
company had been fined $4,000; j. e.
Cooper Myers. vice president. fined
s2.5oo and sentenced to Jail for three
months: Spencer Il. Shotter. chairman
OF the board. fined $1,000 and SEN
fenced TO jail for three months; Geo.
Meade Boardman. treasurer. fined ST.
900, and Carl Moller, manager of the
Jacksonville branch. fined $4,000. All
these sentences were set aside. Shot

convictions for violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law carrying Jail sem

that conviction could be had IL the

ing that B. Sherwood Dunn, president
of the bankrupt Interstate Trust COM
pany, produce assets to the amount of
$4,000, which Capt. w. w. Will
liams referee in bankruptcy, alleges

This action grows out Of the invol-
untary bankruptcy proceedings in
connection with the Interstate Trust
company, which owned the Citizens
Trust Company of Augusta, because
of the failure of which institution
Dunn has been indicted in Georgia on
charge of violating the banking
laws of that State.

time ago Dunn swore in the presence
of his attorney that the Interstate
Trust company owned assets amount
ing to $35O,OOO. Named in the sched-
"'o "SiO SSNcidi Thousand dollars
worth Of household goods, books. tap
estries, bric-a-brac, paintings, bank
hxtures, etc, most of which were said
to be in the magnificent Aiken home
of the Dunns on Hayne avenue.
Three or four months ago United
states Marshal Adams came to Aiken
from Charleston and, acting upon in
structions from the United States
court, took possession of the Dunn
home. The Dunns have been per-
mitted to occupy the house since then,
however, until yesterday a sale was
held on the premises under direction
of the referee in bankruptcy. Goods
to the amount of from $500 to $4OO
were sold. 1t had been advertised
that the sale would continue from day
to day until all the goods in the house
were sold, but Capt. Williams has
called off the continuance of the sale.
stating this morning that it would be
postponed until other goods, named
as assets, were located. He claims
that certain valuable goods have been
removed from the Dunn home, and
has taken action to compel Dunn to
produce them.
