PR0FITEERSLIA
UNDER TRUST LAW
Department of Justice Still
Has Weapon Against
Price Fixing.

The Department of Justice yester-
day began gathering evidence for
a new raid on profiteers. The
rrofiteers are not to escape. II was
made plain, despite the fact that
the Supreme Court recently knocked
out the. a1ti-profiteering provisions
Of the Lever act.
"The Justice department still has
tehind 1t the powerful antitrust
laws and other acts designed to
prevent artificial price fixing" de-
clared Guy d. Goff. assistant to the
Attorney General, today.
The new line of attack will be
mainly against open price associa-
tfons and organizations of dealers
and spectators. During the war
the government took action against
the individual profiteer under the
Lever law.
Put the antitrust laws are
broader and likely to result in
the average citizen" Goff said.
There are instances in which
the department may have five or
six laws under which it can bring
prosecution. The individual who at
tempts to defraud the government
through a false income tax return
cften may be made to suffer, al
though he stays within the anti
trust laws. 1t is important that
10 one carry the, e,impression that the
department now is handicapped be-
cause of the repeal of the wartime
laws. Under the antitrust laws,
prosecution and conviction of men
who go beyond the pale will be just
as quick and effective as during
the war"
Goff emphasized that the Jus
tice department in its campaign will
refrain from any act that might be
construed as an oppression Of big
business.

COSNELL FACES
JURY TODAY

Greenville, Sept. 25.-Jake Gosnell,
federal prohibition enforcement
agent, tomorrow at Pickens county
court house will go on trial for the
second time charged with the muir
der of former Sheriff Hendrix Rector
of Greenville county. Solicitor David
w .Smoak announced today, that the
case would be the first to be called
at the one week term of the court
OF general sessions convening at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant ever docketed in criminal court
in Greenville and Pickens counties and
was the object of widespread interest
in May of last year when it resulted
in mistrial. Two brilliant groups of
counsel will be pitted against each
other when the case opens.
Jake Gosnell, then deputy internal
revenue collector, shot and killed for
mer Sheriff Hendrix Rector in Bris-
GOES garage on Main street here July
4, 1919. The case was automatically
transferred from state court to Unit
ed States court the month following
when attorneys for the defense filed a
petition with Federal Judge III. H.
Watkins requesting that the case be
tried in federal court. Judge Wat
kins later refused the petition and or
dered the case remanded to the court
of general sessions. After being con-
tinued through three terms Nof the
court of general sessions the case was
tried at the May term here last year,
resulting, in a rdistrial. Shortly af-
terward, upon motion of the defense,
a change of venue. was granted and
the case was ordered tried in Pickens
county.
According TO the testimony of wit
nesses at the first trial of Gosnell, the
two men quarreled over political diff
ferences and Gosnell drew his. pistol
and fired five times. Three of the bull
lets took effect in Rector's body and
he died in a few minutes.

POSSE CONTINUES
HUNT FOR NEGRO

Allendale, Sept. 25.-New interes,
was injected into the hunt for Mem.
niger Priester, negro slayer of his
wife, sister-in-law and also charged
with the shooting Of another negro
woman near here on last THURSDAY
night, today with the apparent dis
covery of new trail. Bloodhound
were brought here today from New.
berry and put on the trail.
Information which bears the ear
marks of being true was brought te
Sheriff Bennett that Priester had beer
seen short distance from the scene
of his crime during yesterday, and &
large crowd was engaged all last
night in investigating this claim. S.,
far no trace of the fugitive has beer
found. In addition to his latest crime
Priester is wanted here for the al
legged assault and murder of white
woman of this section some four o.,
five years ago, having escaped from
a mob at that time.
The bloodhounds arrived TODAY
from Newberry in charge Of deputies
and several automobiles full of men
armed to the teeth as deputies are ac.
companying the sheriff on the hunt
The sheriff seems to have the matter
we'll in hand and no violence is ex
pected if the negro is captured. As
the negro is desperate character
no chances will be taken on his get
ting away if seen as it is believed
he will stop at nothing in making hi;
getaway. There is no great excite
ment here now but the search is get
ting down to . regular man hunt by
small but determined posses.
