resentative of the Huerta government.
1t is the constitutional prerogative OF
prisoner to demand the compulsory ap-
pearance of witnesses in his behalf, and
Metcalf and De Kay asserted their prlVl-
lege. But the persons whose testimony
they declared was essential to their de-
fense were in England. and there was no
legal way of getting them to the United
States So a commission rogatory issued
from the United States Court. This. com
mission was in the form of request for
the taking of testimony in England essen
tial to the defense.
Wrisley Brown was sent across the At
Iantic to appear for the United States AT
the hearing before the English commls-
sion and crOss-examined all witnesses
called by the defendant.
These hearings were held last June IN
London. The government was handi-
capped in that. although the defendants
could require the appearance of any wit
nesses i'm their behalf they desired, the
prc recution was denied the privilege OF
calling witnesses. because the COnstitu-
tion provides that defendants shall be
confronted by all witnesses against them
in open court. The government, how
ever, had the right OF crOss-eNaminlng
witnesses called by the defendants. and
Brown secured admissions which aided
materially IN bringing dDOuI tue IOl'iS
ton of the offenders.
The trial Of Metcalf and Henry De Kay
was conducted before the Federal Court
of Rhode Island. MrEBroWn had asSo-
ciated with him George Huddy. United
States attorney for the Rhode Island
district The defendants were represent
ed by the most capable criminal lawyers
of the entire country. Chief counsel for
the defense was James W. Osborne, the
famous New York criminal lawyer. He
was former district attorney for New
York and prosecuted the sensational
MolneuN and Patrick murder cases. A
peculiar incident is that Mr.. Osborne is
counsel for the United States in the
criminal prosecution OF officials Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad.
Z. The trial was the longest ever held in
prosecution for violation OF the national
bank act. At the trial it was necessary
to 90 into all the details of the swift and
complex changes of the regime effected
in Mexico during the past ten years or

number of British fin1nciers in the
corporation and after several years
the name OF the organization was
changed to the Mexican National
Packing Company to conceal its iden-
tihcation with American interests.
The failure of the United States
Banking Company OF Mexico city,
nected. resulted in placing the pack
ing company in the hands of Henry
DeKay as receiver. 1t was then that
the attempt was made to finance
reorganization of the concern by the
use of funds of the Providence in
stitution.
SkIIIfuI Financial Juggling.
John DeKay went to England and
busted himself with attempting ,he
flotation of a bond issue through the
medium of the London Stock EX-
change. As means of aiding the
project, the British and Mexican
Trust Company was formed in Eng
land to invest in securities OF the
beef trust. The attempt to create
market for the securities on the Lon
don Exchange was skillfully managed.
and many Englishmen were induced
to take an interest in the concern.
For the purpose of raising funds to
finance the new company the three de-
PENDANTS engaged in large scale kiting
between Mexico City. New York, and
London. AS ii took several weeks for
the exchange Of drafts between the
various financial centers involved, and
as these drafts were made ouL for pc
riods of tNenty or thirty days, the
kiting system netted the defendants
the use of considerable sums.
Amount of "DenI'' Unknown.
In April, 1913. without a note Of
warning the Atlantic National Bank
failed. Financial New England was
shocked. The banks stockholders lost
everything. Receivers have been able
to pay about 60 per cent to depOsitors.
Immediately after the failure Of the
bank an investigation was started by the
Department of Justice. Later Wrisley
Brown was put in charge. The facts
were presented to the grand jury and
MetCalf and the two De Kays were in
dicted. Metcalf and Henry De Kay we're

Prosecution of Men Interested in

Trial One of Most Picturesque in
History of Justice Departments Ac-
tiyities.

The Department OF Justice has just
brought to a successful conclusion the
most complex and sensational prosecu'
ton yet conducted for violation OF the
criminal provisions of the national banR
lava case outrivaling in magnitude
and picturesque features even the ia
nous Morse and Walsh prosecutions.
The trial extended over a period oil
two months More than 1000 exhibits
were filed. The Cleverest schemes known
TO captains of high finance were in
volved and ntriCacies OF international
complications formed an important part
of the case.
!. II was picturesque and spectacular in
that the prosecution involved the dis
Matching of a special representative OF
the DEPARTMENT of Justice to represent
the United States at judicial eXami-
nation into great transactions conducted
on the London Stock Exchange. One OF
the principals in the case was the Euro
pean financial agent of the Huerta gov
ernment. Two Of the defendants in the
prosecution were high officials OF the
Mexican Beef Trust and the successful
prosecution of the case involved de-
tailed review Of the numerous changes
in regime effected in the turbulent re-
public within the past few years. The
alleged misapplication of funds upon
which the prosecution was based caused
the failure of the Atlantic National
Bank. Of Providence, one of the Oldest
and most respected an trusted banking
institutions of New England.
John De Kay Beyond Law.
The defendants in this important case
were Edward p. Metcalf president OF
the Atlantic Bank; Henry De Kay, re-
ceiyer of the Mexican National Packing
Companv, and John De Kay, president
of the so-called Mexican Beef Trust.
jury last week found the first two often
ders guilty of the willful misapplication
of the national bank funds. and they
now await sentence. John De Kay is
in England, beyond the reach of the
law of the United States. and beyond

so. This was necessitated to explain the
numerous Erantals, transfers. and revo-
cations OF concessions in connection with
the Mexican beef trust The testimony
showed that the Huerta government had
taken over the Mexican Packing Com
pany.
Metcalf. who is a man Of about fifty
five years. was found guilty on ter
counts. and Henry De Kay was found
guilty on nine. The men are liable to
imprisonment for not less than five years
nor more than ten years on each count
II these sentences were cumulative, the
offenders probably would spend the rest
OF their lives in the penitentiary. but it
is customary to permit prisoners to serve
the sentences on the various counts con-
currently, so it is likely the men will not
spend more than ten years in prison.
