Lawton, vice president of the Central
of Georgia Railroad, to-day added 20
the long list of accusations that have
been heaped On the Federal jurlat
since the special Congressional com
mittee last week began the investi-
cation into the judges record on the
bench Of the United States Court for
the Southern District of Georgia.
Colonel Lawton was closely
questioned by Representative Fitz-
henry as to the bankruptcy proceed
ings against the railroad and banking
company instituted in March, 1892.
He said the par value Of it's total
stock then was $7,500,O0O and its mar
ket value better than $s,250,000. The
Central of Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, acting as a hold
ing corporation controlling a number
of subsidiary railroad lines, he said,
had been paying dividends for a num-
Der Of years, when, without notice,
Judge Speer appointed f. H. AleXan-
der, then president of the company,
as temporary receiver, and ten days
later. on March H. 1892, made the re-
ownership permanent
Destroyed Roads Credit.
The receivership was ordered by
Judge Speer said Colonel Lawton,
because control of the property had
been acquired by a New York syndi-
cate that was operating it to the ad-
vantage of the Richmond Terminal
Company, which controlled the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad. Judge
Speer, he said, held that this control
was in violation of the competitors
clause of the Georgia Constitution;
that the directors were managing the
property in the interest of the. Rich l.
mond Terminal Company instead Of
the stockholders of the Central Of
Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany. The naming OF the receiver
and the expenditure OF the company's
funds under Judge Speer's orders,
Colonel Lawton declared. absolutely
destroyed the credit OF the company
and wiped out the savings that per-
sons OF small means had put into
stock of the railroad
Colonel Lawton was followed to
the stand by General Peter w Mel

Southern attorneys, playmate during
boyhood and classmate at college with
