tel, who was commended by all for
the artistic and beautiful way in
which the auditorium was decorated.

SHERIFF PURSUED
FEST AS HE FLED
FROM THE COURT
Attempts to Arrest Rubber
Company Head on a
Second Charge

Philadelphia, Feb. 2S. - An at
tempt by deputy sheriff to arrest
a defendant in one case, while he
was serving as a witness in another,
caused a lively chase and consider
able excitement in the Federal build
ing yesterday.
William j. Lewis. a stockholder in
the National Rubber Company, of
Pottstown. Pa, recently filed bill
in equity asking for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the concern.
He charged Jacob G. Feist. the pres
ident, with fraud, mismanagement
and wasting the assets of the COM
pany.
Feist was subpenaed as a witness
and was directed to produce the
books and records of the company
in the Federal Court yesterday in
order to show why receiver should
not be appointed.
Books Produced
Judge Thompson heard argument
by the company's counsel on mo-
ton to dismiss the application upon
the ground of no jurisdiction. The
and directed the parties to proceed
with the hearing OF the application
for a receiver.
Mr.. Lewis. through his counsel,
]. Howard Reber, called the atten-
ton of Judge Thompson to the fact
that neither Feist nor the books of
the concern were in court The at
torney alleged that Feist told the
deputy sheriff who served the sub
pena on him he would not produce
the books.
J. Washington Logue, counsel for
the rubber company, denied the lat
ter allegation, and later produced
Feist and the books desired.
After two hours examination.
Feist left the witness chair, and
the case was adjourned for two
weeks. In the meantime experts will
audit the books.
Fcist FTecs
AS Feist left the court room a
deputy sheriff attempted to arrest
him on a capias obtained in Com
mon Pleas Court in an action
brought by William Meyers for SLAM
der.
Feist ran through the corridor of
the Federal building and rushed
down stairs with the deputy in pur-
suit, while his attorney in the first
case argued the matter with Charles
L. Smyth, attorney for Meyers.
Judge Thompson refused to ad-
judge that any contempt of his court
was committed by the deputy in
seeking to arrest Feist in the sec
ond action. Bail in the slander suit
was fixed by the Common Pleas
Court at $1,000.
Jacob G. Feist is we'll known in
this city. where he led a spectacu-
lar life several years ago. He was
the head of a concern which operat-
ed a slate quarry in York county.
He sold stock which afterward be-
came worthless. Sometime later he
was convicted in court on serious
charges and served time the peni-
tentiary.
