aiming prospective jurors the babble
broke into LIE and the proceedings
were delayed.

and a sailor hat tilted far back on
her head.

$50 AND 80 CENTS
FATALLY MIXED

Louisville, KY, Jan. Thirty
cents and $50 look so much alike on
the ticker tape that Johnston q Co.
have been forced to liquidate with IL
abilities of 100000, twice as much
as the assets, according to Cassel-
bury Dunkerson, chairman of the
creditors committee.
Last summer the firm bought $3.50
600 worth OF stock in an oil corpora
ton at $50 a share, under the i'm
preston that the stock was worth
30 cents a share. The firm assumed
the purchase of the stock, but the
slump in value was so great that the
brokers were forced to liquidate.
The firm is composed of j. Stod-
dard Johnston, Jr., and Arthur d.
Zubrod. The creditors committee IS
composed of Mr.. Dunkerson, Lamar
S. Roy, George C. Weldon and Homer
w. Batson. There is a possibility OF
the firm paying 40 cents on the dol
lar if the committees plans mater
ialize, Mr.. Dunkerson said.
