Judgement tor Trust Company.
lSt. Louis Post-Dispatch. J

Wv hONAS Wv O4SRNNN-'t
A verdict in favor of the Missis-
sippi Valley Trust 20. against George
Begley, Sr. and Mrs. Efie NJ. Ruth,
father and m%other-in-law of George
Begley, Jr., of Poplar Bluff, Mo,
"Missouri Rice King" who is serving
a 10-year sentence. in the Missouri
~Penitentiary for forgery, was handed
down yesterday by Circuit Judge
Falkenhainer, who entered Judgment
for the trust company in the sum of
| 500, 1925 and costs of the suit. The
action was based or a note given by
the defendants Nov. 1, 1919, to pro-
tect the junior Begley from criminal
| prosecution.
In an answer to the trust company's
| petition, Begley Sr., and Mrs. Ruth
| alleged that ''agents of the trust com
pany illegally and unlawfully induced
| them to sign the note under duress,
| by means of threats to the effect that
if they would not sign the note within
a period of one hour the trust COM
pany would institute an action in the
Circuit Court in Butler County based
upon the forgery, the effect of which
proposed action would be to expose
and publish broadcast the fact that
George Begley, Jr., was guilty of a
felony, resulting in humiliation and
| disgrace of the defendants"
The answer further alleged that the
Junior Begley had forged the names
of his father, mother-in-law and wife
to four notes aggregating $40 900, and
had given the notes to the Missis-
sippi Valley Trust Co. for "a valu-
able consideration" The answer did
not state what the "valvable consid-
erationn was.
In arguing a motion for Judgment
in favor of the Mississippi Valley
Trust Co., attorneys commended that
the answer filed by the defendants
did not deny the signing of the note,
and that the trust company did not
force them under duress to sign the
note. The fact that the junior Beg
ley's notes were forgeries, it was said,
was not known to the trust company
until it's agents were SO informed by
the defendants.
Attorneys for the defendants ar
gued that the company's proposal to
Institute civil action based on forgery
was an implied threat to expose the
criminal acts of George Begley, Jr.
When the junior Begley's creditors
met in the Federal Court at Cape
Girardeau in December, 1919, to have
his bankrupt estate adjudicated, the
Mississippi Valley Trust Go. entered
a claim for $40, 900. 1t subsequently
developed that the company had ad.
vanced Begley money on forged pa
per, as had several other St. Louit
banking institutions and individuals
and that the trust company had sur
rendered the forged notes to Begley'i
relatives, accepting a genuine NOTE
from them to cover the amount of the
indebtedness. Other creditors, wher
this was discovered, insisted that the
Mississippi Valley Trust Co.'s CLAIM
be listed with the other claims anC
settled on terms that would apply
equally to all creditors.
Young Begley's career as a fnan'
cier ended in bankruptcy, in whicl

Marine Directors Meet To-day

Directors of the International Mer-

to meet to-day, and it is expected that
the board will depart from its policy OF
reducing the arrearage on the preferred
stock by declarations Of extra disburse-
ments on that issue. In other words,
it is understood that only the regular
semi-annual dividend of per cent will
be declared, DESPITE the fact that earn
ins for the current year will be we'll
above the regular preferred dividend
requirements. The I. M. M. Company
has felt the slump in the shipping busi-
ness, and it is understood that its pol-
icy will be to conserve cash resources
as far as possible until the outlook is
more favorable. The accumulated divi-
dends on the senior stock issue now
amount to AZ per cent. Previous ex-
tras on account of the back payments
included 10 per cent on December 81,
1917; per cent on May 8. 1918; 10

Setting a Precedent

A new chapter n the history of cor

Street yesterday in the borrowing
operations of the Standard Oil Com

Oil Company of New York. Hereto
fore the Standard Oil companies have
always met their capital requirements
either by drawing literally upon earn
ngs or selling stock to their stock
holders. Now for the first time thev
come INTO the bond market and sell
fixed interest bearing securities. This
development created a mild sensation
