He was sentenced to his latest BIT In
1912 after a lengthy trial for asing the
mails with the intention to defraud.
At that time Herzig, or Rice, was
the power behind the brokerage firm OF
B. RI. Scheftels & Co.. which had been
connected with several decidedly shady
deals in worthless mining stocks. Rlce
lawyers advised him 70 plead guilty
but this he refused TO do, and, discharg..
ing his counsel, took personal charge OF
his own case. He was found guilty:
Rice was sent to Elmira in 1890. FIVE
years later he was sentenced TO sing
Sing for forgery. >,
Five years ago Rice was sued for d.
vorce by his wife, who was MISS
Frances Drake. At that time he plead
ed that he was bigamist and that,
therefore. the second Mrs. Rice was
not his lawful spouse. He said that
he had married his first wife on the
train which was taking him TO Sing
Sing, and did not know whether she
was living or dead.
Since his last term in jail Rice has
announced his determination Of going
straight" and has returned to Wall
Street as a broker of mining stocks.

Fraud.

George Graham Rice, whose fnan-
cial activities in the past led to his
imprisonment for a considerable length
of time, and who is now playing the
! chief part in a real life drama entitled
Trying to Come Back" has once again
burst into the limelight. AS Rice told
his story yesterday, however, he is the
injured party this time-the victim OF
plan to depress the price of some OF
the mining properties which he has
been trying to promote on the curb
market.
The securities Of several OF these
companies suffered some heavy declines
on Tuesday, but Rice said this was
due to the efforts Of loan brokers to
squeeze him by selling the stocks held
"a collateral for loans. This started a
general liauidating movement, he de-
clared. for which there was no just
cause. but which was stopped by him.

The companies most seriously al
fected by the selling movement were
the Emma Copper Mining Company
which sold from 70 to 35 cents share
on Tuesday but rallied yesterday to q
/ bid price of AZ. Alta Consolidated
went from IA cents to 80 cents and re-
covered to AZ. Albion Mining, another
Rice property, sold from Al cents TO
80 cents, with bid price at the close

Tuesday, it's low price being cents on

one of the stories told by curb brok-
ers was that Rice, when he saw the
volume Of the selling in his properties,
flashed a roll of one hundred Sl,OOO
bills. with the assertion that he was
able to take all the stock offered. When
asked concerning the truth OF this re-
port in his Offices in the Lords Court
Building, at q william Street, Rice
answered by drawing a roll Of green
backs from his pocket that would choke
the proverbial COW. and said with a
laugh: "Well, you can see for yourself
that usually carry enough money on
me to meet most emergencies"
II the roll consisted of $1,000 bills,

brokers might be all right. Before the
