KnIGHT-YAnCEY
COTTON SUIT IS
BEFORE COURT
ARE HEARD BY
JUDGE SHEPPARD IN CASE IN
VoLvINo OWNERSHIP OF $780,
600 WORTH @-= COTTON.

In the United States court yester-
eraI legal points in the fight that is
being made to Claim the proceeds of
about two thousand bales Of cotton,
confiscated in the Gulf Transit Com
pany's warehouses here in 1910 and
sold. Seventy-five thousand dollars of
the money received was placed in the
American National Bank and seventy
five thousand In the First National
Bank of Pensacola
This money is In these banks today
on deposit. These funds were de-
posted here by the parties concerned
without reference to the custody Of
the court. Judge Sheppard told a
Journal representative that the case
involves some legal meshes'' which
will require some time for the court
to work out. The case was taken I'M
der advisement, and no decision has,
as yet been rendered.
The old bankrup toy in 1910 of the
Knight-Yancey Company, Of Decatur,
Alabama, who formerly handled over
half of the cotton of the Southern
States and were known as Americas
most noted cotton shippers, was re-
vived in Pensacola yesterday. 1t will
be remembered that it appeared at the
time of the bankruptcy that this COM
pany obtained blank bills Of lading
from Louisville & Nashville railroad
company employees, it was alleged, and
having forged these certified bills of
lading, with sight drafts attached drew
on foreign factors and negotiated these
drafts throughout the United States.
1t appeared that there were several
bills OF lading for the same cotton.
After the company was put into bank
ruptcy, the 1850 bales Of cotton in
Pensacola warehouses were attached
by w. S. Lowell, of Alabama, trustee
for the Knight yancey Company. The
cotton was attached when in transit
over the l. & N. and Gulf Transit
Company's lines.
The trustee was claimant for the
creditors OF the cotton, and the West
phalia Company, Hamburg factors,
claimed to have bills OF fading for
which they identified q considerable
portion of this cotton and interviewed
to have such OF the cotton as they
could identify set apart for their
claim. The trustee and the Westpha-
liza Company entered into an agree
ment allowing the cotton to be with
drawn and sent to market, the pro-
ceeds of an amount agreed to be the
value of the cotton being deposited in
the First National Bank and the Am
erican National Bank of Pensa cola.
Judge Sheppard stated to q Journal
representative yesterday that there
was deposited In each of these banks
an equal amount, about seventy-five
