ALABAMA COMPANY
|NVOLVED|NFORGED
BILL OF LAD|NG SUIT
Suit Follows the Failure of
Knight, Yancey and
Company of
Decatur

New York, February 3.-The first of
the forged bills of lading suits which
followed the failure of Knight Yancey
and company, the Decatur cotton mer-
chants, was put on trial today in the
federal district court. Litigation involv-
ing about s4,50o.oo0 awaits the result OF
this test case.
This action was brought by A. Hannay
and company cotton merchants of Liv-
erpool, against the Guaranty Trust COM
pany of New York. II is based on
draft for s7s2o made by Knight, Yancey
and company, which was discounted by
the defendant. The draft was accompan-
led by a bill of lading for 100 bales of
cotton, which afterward turned out to be
forgery. The Guaranty Trust company
discounted this draft in February 1910,
and il wse forwarded 20 Engtand. where
the Bank of England accepted It and
charged the amount TO the account of
A. Hannay and company.
The plaintiffs maintain that the draft
ON its face was drawn against the spe-
cifc bales of cotton 1t described and
that by discounting it the defendant war;
ranted that the cotton had been actually
shipped. and that the bill of lading was
&c nuine.
