ANOTHER TURN IN
: The YARYAN CASE
THOUGH LOCAL MEMBERS OF
COMMITTEE DO NOT UNDER
STAND LETTERS.
COPY OF IT RECEIVED HERE
Advises Creditors to Give Proxies to
Toledo Banker, Who Is Largest In
dividual Creditor-Talks as if He Is
in Favor of Bankruptcy Proceeding.

4 circular letter received by local
creditors yesterday of the Yaryan Ma
val Stores company, from Homer T.
Yaryan, one Of ther eceivers OF the
company, is somewhat of puzzle and
seems to Indicate that some of the
stockholders of the big concern are
seeking to bring about reorganiza
tion OF the company Inasmuch as Mr.
Yaryan has been in accord with the
other two receivers and has supported
and endorsed all that has been done
by the local creditors committee, his
sattef is not fully understood by mem
e2rs &~thc Acommittee.
He advises all creditors to join in
with Isaac E. Kinsley, of Toledo
president of the Northern National
bank, and the largest single creditor,
and he also urges creditors to send
him their proxies.
Just what the plans of Mr.. Yaryan
and Mr.. Kinsley are is not plain to
those who have closely followed the
progress of the case. Mr.. Yaryan
states in the letter that he lis fully
convinced that there is no effort be-
ing made or will be made in the bank
ruptcy proceeding, except for the best
interest Of everybody.
This sentence, together with other
pef'tions Of the letter, would indicate
Chat there has been a split among the
three receivers, appointed by the
Georgia court, and that Mr.. Yaryan
has Joined with the opposing faction
and is now fighting in favor OF the
Bankruptcy proceedings. Local mem
bers OF the creditors committee, when
questioned ON the subject last night,
stated that they understood at first
that Mr.. Yaryan would oppose the eff
fort to place the company in bankrupt
cy, but they had learned recently that
he was working on a new plan for
the reorganization OF, the company,
and, in order to carry his plan into
ef1ect. that he would oppose the other
two receivers in their stand they have
taken to, fight the bankruptcy pro-
ceeding.
AT any rate. it is plainly evident
from Mr.. Yaryan's letter to the cred
itors that he is not in accord with the
receivers, and the result of this new
breach will no doubt serve to COM
plex the situation more than ever
The letter in question is as follows
Toledo, Ohio, Dec 10, 1913.
To the Creditors of the Yaryan Naval
Stores Company:
AS am satisfied that there is a geu-
uine effort being made by people that
are amply able to bring about an hon
est and fair reorganization of the Var
yam company at as early date as is
practicable, l would suggest joining
Isaac E. Kinsely, president of the
Northern Bank of Toledo, the largest
single creditor, in consummating this
effort in case the United States court
ut Toledo adjudicates the Yaryan COM
pany a bankrupt, and in that event,
that creditors proxies be sent to him.
| am fully convinced that there is
no effort being made or will be made
in the bankruptcy proceeding, except
for the best interests of everybody.
His policy is constructive, and not
" ;3tructive. Yours truly,
H. T. YARYAN.

TWO LOCAL CANDI-
DATES FOR CAVEL

DIR. C. f. Swezy, Humboldt county IS
sole Republican member of this year 5
legislature, will leave for Carson City
this evening. All of the other five
members, including one senator and
four assemblymen, have preceded him.
r. A. Brandon, of the Humboldt
delegation, is candidate for speaker
of the house, but the Reno daily pa
pers, which claim to be in a position
to know, claim that at present he is
third in the race, with the prospect
that a compromise candidate will be
agreed upon in the Democratic caucus,
TO be held tomorrow.
Senator Bell, it is understood, is n
candidate for president pro tempore
of the senate. If true, considering the
fact that he is Democratic National
committeeman from this state, and
will be a powerful factor in the dis
tribution of the Federal patronage
during Prof. Wilson s term, he should
experience no serious difficulty in be-
ing eIcted. In that event, Assembly
man Brandon would hardly be an
available candidate for the speaker
ship, as it is not probable that both
presiding officers will be named from
the same county.

FRONHOFER DENIED
A SECOND TRIAL

At IL O'Clock yesterday morning
Judge Ducker denied the motion for a
new trial in the case of George From
hofef, convicted of the murder of
Peter Laux, and defendant was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, in accordance with the
recommendation of the jury.
In making mis- ruling, the Court
held, in respect to the affidavits pre-
sented alleging misconduct on the
part of two or more of the trial jurors,
who were quoted as saving that they
did not believe Fronhofer committed
the crime, but that he had knowl-
edge of the circumstances of the case,
that it would be against public policy
to allow a juryman to impeach his own
verdict We're this TO be allowed,
criminal trials would soon become a
farce.
The Court further stated that it
was of opinion that no errors had been
committed at the trial that deprived
defendant Of any of his substantial
rights. On the contrary, many of the
rulings had been in his favor, particu-
larly that which excluded the ante
mortem statement of deceased.
Concerning the insufficieney of the
evidence alleged by defendant in his
motion for a new trial. the Court held
that there was proof of a conspiracy
to murder Laux sufficient for the jury
to find verdict of guilty.
Judge CurIer excepted to the ruling
of the Court, and asked mp to and in
cluding the Goth day of February
1913, in which to prepare, file and
serve bill of exceptions, which was
allowed.
After sentence had been prenounc-
ed, Judge Curler excepted 10 the iudg
ment, on the ground that il did not
specify minimum sentence, as pro
vided by statute.
