This is the critical advice Of Camden
attorney in discussing today the plight Of
the lO47 poor persons Of South Jersey
who were caught in "a swindle for which
LinwoOd Haines of Camden, was con-
victed at Freehold, y. j., two weeks ago.
Sentence has not been pronounced
What Halnes did, according to the eyi-
dence brought out al the trial, was to sell
his preferred stock and give away the
common stock as bonus. II his COM
pany had made out all right the stock
holders would have drawn interest on the
stock which was given TO them. Because
the contrary was true, however, the stock
holders have 10 pay up the value Of the
stock they accepted to meet real debts the
corporation piled up. Haines was con-
yicted of having caused the company to
become insOlyent.
The company was known as the Lin
wood Haines Limited Of America and was
organized 10 do a general mail order busi,
ness
Referee S. Conrad OFT arranged today
for the preliminaries to make the l0i7 who
accepted the gift horses pay up the value
OF their stock TO the amount oG about S3S,-

Court at Camden May 90.
What probably will take place will be
a general suit against them all, and then
the lcyyiug Of an assessment. Practically
all are poor mill workers or Iaborers Of
low-earning capacity.

Tells Magistrate 3O-Day Sentence
Should Have Been Three Years

After Magistrate Carson today com.
mitted 21-year-old Walter White, of 221O
North Marshall street, to 80 days in the
county prison, the mother of the young
man addressed the Court with the com
ment that the sentence was ridiculous;
It should have been at least three years"
The sentence was passed after testi-
mony that White, while drunk tried to
kill his mother and sister, all of the
North Marshall street address. Today
the son pleaded for another chance, but
Mrs. White was obdurate. She told Mag
istrate Carson her son was not worth an
other chance and was afraid that at the
expiration of the months sentence he
would come home and harm her.
Policeman Nichols, of the Park and
Lehigh avenues station, made the arrest
yesterday. He was called to the White
home by telephone, and found the son
lying on couch, clasping a knife. with a
hatchet nearby, and the mother and sis
ter locked in an upstairs room.
