The Independent creditors contend
that the Greenhut trustees should re-
cover at least 100000 from the Greens
hut stockholders on such indemnity pay
ments. IL In their belief that the &C.
demnity agreements were unlawful and
void because the corporation tried, they
say, to do a banking business under the
names OF its principal stockholders and
gave the latter indemnity agreements
against possible losses, although the law
forbids corporations to take the risks of
banking business without additional per-
sonal liza billty Of the stockholders
In 1914, the Independent creditors aH
sert, the banking business suffered Sc
we're losses and the stockholders trans
ferred about sSss,O0O in cash from the
Greenhut store, giving In return securi-
ties now valued at about $500. 900. While
the committee hopes to recover only
$500. 600 on this transaction through

tion that the courts might regard the
corporations banking business in such a
light as to hold that the stockholders
were personally liable to the creditors to
the fun amount OF their stock.

and H-year-old Margaret Duggie, who
posed as Moulin's wife, were taken to
Portland Friday afternoon in custody OF
federal officer. there to await the ac-
ton Of the United States district attor-
counterfeiting.
Fourth Arrest
The fourth arrest was made at Wis
casset Friday morning by Deputy Sher-
if Dow acting on instructions from Chief
McCarron, and was Joseph Carrier, 10. a
plumber of S. Broad street, Auburn. The
police believe that the story told by those
arrested that Carrier suggested the coun-
terfeiting plan to be worthy of investi-
cation.
The police believe that a well-planned
scheme to make counterfeit coins was
nipped in the bud. No alloy nor metal
has been found, but perfect molds and
all the other accoutrements of counter
feiters were found last night. L. S. Mar
shall Wilson is in charge.
Two Moulds
Taken as evidence and held at police
Headquarters are two moulds in plaster
paris bearing the prints of 5o-cent piece
of 1908. With these are pan of plaster
paris, a small combination screw driver
and tool kit. shot backing box. a guam
tity of broken moulds and other mate
rial.
Chief McCarron in a statement to
reporter Friday noon said that a
confession was made by Thibeault
and Moulin which admitted that they
had started to counterfeit coins and
that they had made the scheme as the
result Of a conversation on the Lew
ston city common in which Joseph
Carrier suggested it. Chief McCarron
said also Thursday night when Thi-
beault and Moulin were placed in the
cell that Officers Pelletier and E. eau
thier were stationed within hearing.
The men were placed in different tiers
but one of them said to the other,
it is alleged, I'VE have got to go
through with the bluff now and make
them think that we did it in fun"
The police obtained knowledge Of
this from Mrs. Peter Belanger. 34s
Lisbon street, at which place Moulin
and Margaret Duggie are alleged to
have roomed last week. Her attention
was drawn to them by roomer's
complaint of interfering with his
sleep because Of the odor Of lime. This
was traced to the room.

The great success of the Wallace
brothers in securing three monster
horse mackerel within two days has
resulted in other fishermen placing
