of attention from Judge Anderson, who
demanded to know who these persons
were. He said that all members of the
board of directors knew the circum
stances and others were cognizant of it.
THINK ALL
EQUALLY GUILTY.
IF you know any others who ought
to be indicted name them" the court
said
Finally Mr. Nichols said:
II think every member of the board
if directors is equally guilty with Van
Briggle and Rominger."
COURT SCORES
DEPENDENTS.
In passing sentence Judge Anderson
said:
1.-The fact that Mr.. Rominger bore an
excellent reputation is no excuse: This
fact is really against him. 1t caused
people to say, This concern must be all
right. Mr. Rominger is connected with
it Men must be careful about lending
their names to such adventures.
"As for Mr.. Van Briggle he may have
thought he had big thing, but that is
no excuse for Inter false representations
made by him as to the condition of the
company. 1t was just bold, bald. false
raw scheme to rob such persons as this
nurse who has been mentioned here and
the mails were used generously in doing
It.
How could case be worse: Here
is Mr.. Van Briggle, a man who is
member of the legal profession. He was
infatuated with the idea of getting rich
quick Am to sit here and send boot
Ieggers and petty offenders to Jail and
gloss over this kind of wrong doing?
20 Mr. inc he does
not provide that because a defendant 10
II years of age and has a wife that he
should go free in case Of wrong doing.
Mr. Rominger took $4,000 to which he
was not entitled and there is no explain
alton except dishonesty. I do not pro-
pose to sit here and send young poor and
ignorant persons to the penitentiary and
let mature highly intelligent and re-
spectacle people off
Mr.. Rominger then interrupted to say
that he had drawn the dividend on the
report Of C. NJ. Foster, auditor. stating
that the company had a surplus OF
SAT 900. This brought the remark from
Mr.. Van Briggle that Foster was the
worst one in the bunch.
''Is Foster in the room" Judge Ander-
son demanded and Foster came forward.
did you represent to Romlnger that
this company hau earned S4IJoOo' Juuee
Anderson asked him.
Foster started in a lengthy explanation
about charging for advertising and ex-
detrimental costs, but did EOt get very
far.
Il am not interested in bookkeeping,
the court said answer my question"
Foster finally said he knew the com
panv never had made any money.
District Attorney Van Nuys then
arose and said.
''The truth is that Foster was di-
rected to make these false reports by
Van Briggle until he refused and would
not do so any longer. Van Briggle then
went to the office with a bottle of
whisky and put out the lights and
would not lee him finish his work.
where was Brother Howe while this
was going on?" the court interjected.
Mr.. Van Mugs said the whole affair
had been thrashed out before the Fed
eral grand jury when the case was con-
sidered last spring.
After sentence had been passed Morris
Rominger, son of Henry S. Rominger,
tainted and was carried from the ""Srt-
room.

was received by Governor Warren T. Nc
Cray today from Maj. Gen. g. W. Read,

case to the court, he referred to the min
utes Of Jan. Is. 1920, in which it was
stated that the Rev. c. f.. Howe de
livered a prayer suitable to the OCCASION"
This aroused the immediate interest of
the court and Judge Anderson said:
as this prayer inserted in the pro-
ceedings?"
He seemed disappointed when told that
the prayer was not of record.
When the defendants were called up
for sentence, Mr. Van Nuys gave a brief
outline of the case, laying particular
stress on the charge that a 10 per cent
dividend had been declared by the board
of directors when the company was as
matter of fact nSolvent. This divi-
dend was paid from borrowed money
and money obtained through the sale of
stock. he said. Mr.. Rominger got ST. 100
by taking two notes given by Upton
County farmers for 5000 each from the
safe and having these notes cashed, he
asserted
WHAT DID
FARMERS GET?
What did these farmers getf" Judge
Anderson asked.
'They got stock" Mr.. Van Mugs an,
swered.
The district attorney also laid stress
on the fact that in many instances Van
Briggle sold his own personal stock
given to him for promotion purposes and
for which he paid nothing to customers
who believed they were buying treasury
stock, the proceeds Of which were to be
used for the erection of a Canadian fac
tory.
Attention was also given to the repre-
tot
garding the financial condition of the
company TO prospective purchasers of
stock, and these representations accord
ingsto Mr.. Van Nuys were false in many
particulars.
Mr. Van Mugs said that the money lost
by investors had ranged from $1O0.O0
by an Indianapolis business man. later
identified as Frank Hilgemeier. down to
the savings of poor people. Something
like $4,000 Mr. Van Nuys said he felt
certain had been obtained by Van Brig
gle and Rominger and about 500, 900
simply mad disappeared.
MAKES PLEA
FOR RoMINGER.
In all fairness to Mr.. Rominger Mr..
Van Nuys said, it should be stated that
he had not disposed Of any of hi spro-
motion stock.
A plea that Mr.. Rominger be allowed
to go with only a fine, was made by
Charles l.. Miller. his attorney. He
pointed out the previous fine record of
Mr.. Rominger, and the fact that as pres
ident Of the indianapolis Fancy Grocery
Company he always had enjoyed splen-
did reputation. He said that as a re-
suit Of his relations with Van Briggle,
Rominger was now on the verge of in
solvency, where he had been worth about
$4,000 when the project was entered
into. He said Mr.. Rominger had paid
out $4,000 mere than he received from
the company and was indorser on about
$4,000 Of paper
Clarence Nichols precipitated the ava
lanche when be arose 10 make plea for
Van Briggle. His statement was that
Van Briggle was no more guilty than
others, and this point came in for a lot
