$4,000 Alleged 10 be Due,
SweIlS TO $25O,OOO After
40 Years
STORY OF THEFT
BACK OF THE ACTION

Argument on a demurrer was be-
gun in the United States Court before
Judge Edward G. Bradford here today,
in one Of the most interesting cases
filed for hearing in that tribunal in a
number Of years
The action is brought by the United
States Government against the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal Company
to recover in round figures, including
interest at six per cent, about $780,
GOO. The Government holds 14625
shares OF stock in the canal company
which il acquired in 1925 and 1929 by
direction Of Congress in order to as
sist i'm construction of the then pro-
posed inland waterways. I'm 1873,
1875 and 1879 the canal company de-
clared dividends and the Govern
ment's share for all three years was
about S5l 900, which the Government
alleges it did not receive, and it is
this amount with interest, that the
Government is trying to recover
Back of the action is an interesting
story The money which the Govern
ment should have received in divi-
I dends was stolen, as it was later
proven, by a Mr. Leslie and a Mr.. Will
son. treasurer and assistant treasurer,
respectively, of the canal company
who at the same time issued fraudu-
J liant bonds to the extent OF SSOO,00O
The theft of the money due the Gov
ernment was concealed by forged re-
ceipts. The Government at the time
was not aware that dividends had
been declared nor was the canal COM
any any the wiser ct they had not
been paid. For th- crime Leslie
served eight years Imprisonment and
| Wilson five years.
The fraud was Of such dimensions
that the canal company has never de-
clared dividends since.
The defendant in the case filed a
demurrer to the declaration of the
plaintiff pleading statute of limita.
tions claiming that the three year!
limitation for the collection of deb
in Delaware, applied. The Govern
ment. however, contends that tn,
statute of limitations does not appll
to the Government and il is on thii
demurrer that argument was beguI
today.
The Government is represented b,
