THK ATLANTA GEORGIAN, 'Ati udav, NOVi:.\im:n I IRV BREESE OF EMBEZZLEMENT Famous North Carolina Case Will Probably Be Called at Asheville. f.„ n al to The Georgian. Greensboro, N. C„ Nov. 3.—Gener ally it was supposed that the “Breese ' which was probably the longest and hardest fought Indictment ever tried In the Federal courts of this state, closed, but It seems that It will be thrashed over again. In July, 1897, the First National Bank of Asheville failed, and great havoc was wrought In all that section, depositors losing large sums of money. Breese, the president, Lawrence Pul liam. the cashier, and Joseph Dlcker- ijm, one of the directors, were Indicted f ov ' embezzlement and conspiracy to defraud, the sum named being $250,000. Pulliam escaped and after being absent several years, voluntarily returned, and after a sensational trial was convicted and sent to the Atlanta penitentiary, and Is now serving sentence, or has completed his term. .Major W. E. Breese. the president, wan tried three times. In two trials the jury failed to agree. In the third trial a conviction was had. Each of these trials occupied weeks of time, anti on account of alleged local preju dice against the defendant, the case removed from Asheville to Char- Breese took an appeal to the circuit court of appeals and this court declared lie was illegally convicted, bc- one of the grand Jurors who found me bill of indictment had not paid his taxes and Breese wan dls- narged from custody, a free man. be- ause between the time of finding the dll of indictment In 1887 and the ren dition of the judgment on appeal the tatute had barred any further finding if a bill of indictment. The. bill of Indictment which the United States nut declared was defective and under which Breese was three times tried and finally convicted was a bill found by n grand Jury at the November term, 1M7. of the United States court at Asheville. Compromise Rumored. An examination of the docket of the United States court held In Greensboro Xtober, 1897, shows that at that i the grand Jury found a true bill against XV. K. Breese, president of the First National Bunk of Asheville, for the alleged wrecking of the bank In 1897. The amount he Is charged with embezzling Is $225,000. The rec ord further shows that J. M. Allen was foreman of the Greensboro grand Jury which found this bill. It was on this dll that Breese was arrested. It now penis that another bill waa found at ihe November term at Asheville; that Breese was tried under this and that October bill is still good, n effort to reach District Attorney Holton and get Information on this new development has been ineffectual. Judge Bynum, who prosecuted the case special employee of the govern ment fur two trials, when asked about * absolutely non-committal, say ing he knew nothing of the new phase f the case. Judge Boyd decline*! to be Inter bred on the subject. Hut the clerkV locket shows that a bill was found at • October term and the case was nsfewed to the Asheville docket for trial. . That some further development will r«*»uit at the term of Federal court in Asheville next week, showing that the Breese case is not settled,” Is among the probabilities.

A fund of $2,500 was reported actual ly in hand at the meeting of promi nent citizens held Friday afternoon in the office of C. C. Hanson for the pur pose of organizing an Atlanta Board of Trade. This amount practically guarantees the organization of the ex change about January 1. Nearly all of the committees appoint ed at the last meeting to make a can vass of the different branches of trade for stock In the exchange were present, nnd the chairmen made favorable re ports In every Instance. The banks of the city and several out-of-town cot ton men are yet to be heard from, and these will in all probability subscribe tho remaining sum necessary. The Board of Trade for 1907 will be merely an experiment, and It has been estimated that about $4,500 will be actually In hand before the exchange cun be organized. The Chamber of Commerce Is to have control of the Board of Trade, and If the move Is suc cessful new and more adequate quar ters will be secured for both commer cial organizations. During the general discussion in the Informal meeting Friday afternoon it was decided to encourage the general public to participate In the Board of Trade and invite the membership of every citizen who was a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Huch members would be allowed one share, the non resident members would be considered as associate members. It was the sense of the meeting that the Board of Trade was to be made a place where the business men of the city could meet and spend a social hour to the benefit of the business and commercial Interests. A location will probably be secured where noon lunch can he served and the quarters made as attractive a* possible. Tho details of the organization will be discussed at the meeting to be held ut the same place next Friday afternoon at ‘ o'clock.

HARD TO 6EE Even When the Facta About Cof.'es Ar, Plain. HEARSTLEAGUE FIGHTS TO ESTABLISH ITSELF The strongest claim that can be made (or a sewing machine is that it's “practically as good as a Singer.'' Everybody has heard it—but it's never better than a claim. The Singer is in every way the best—all the way (rom cam to cabinet—and everybody knows it! Sold only by SINGER Sewing; Machine • Co. 79 WHITEHALL STREET. . *New York, Nov. 3.—Democratic lead ers make no secret of their egltutlon over the fact that the Independence I-eaguers are doing everything In their power to have the followers of Hearst cast their ballots under the emblem of the Independence League Instead of under the emblem of the Democratic party. The object of this Is to obtain, if possible, the registration and elec tion day patronage for the Hearst or- gunlsutlon instead of for the regular party at the next election. In these closing days ot the cam paign It becomes more and more ap parent that Hearst has ahoved the reg ular Democratic party Into the back ground and that he Is, together with Ills managers and speakers, exploiting the Independence League, nnd relegat ing the regular party farther and far ther to the rear. Tho Democratic state headquarters In the Victoria hotel are as dead as the catacombs ot Egypt, and William J. Conners, the state chair man. has few of his stenographers and his employees to keep him company. League Men Art Busy. Up at the Gllsey house, where the Independence League has Its headquar ters, an entirely different state of af fairs Is to be found. There everything Is bustle and Industry and the Inde pendence League managers are priding themselves on the fact that, after the coming election their party will be a recognised party under the laws of the state. It will only be necessary to poll 10,- 000 votes for the Independence League to establish the organisation as a reg ular party so that It can hold conven tions and select entire tickets for fu ture state end local elections. That the league will poll many times the necessary 10.000 rotes Is a certainty, and the regular party leaders look with Jealous eyes upon the strides that the new organisation has taken. Ballot is Cumbersome. The ballot this year Is the most cum bersome ever known since the, Inaugu ration of the Australian system In this state. There will be nine full columns on the ballot and in some of the col umns there will be several different emblems for various Independent con gressional, atate and assembly nomi nees. For Manhattan and the Bronx there will bo seventeen Independent emblems, many of which are gro tesque. One assembly candidate lias selected a but as an emblem, unother a pair of nippers, another an open hand, another a horseshoe, another a moose, another a four-leaf clover, and another a shamrock. One Independent candidate for congress has selected a horse nnd a Hon and another has a ferocious looking ox. Some of the odd emblems that appear on the ballot include a can non, and a horse car. Lawyer, Form Committes. The lawyers have formed an Inde pendent committee of which Joseph H. Choate Is chairman and Alton B. Park er, vice chairman. This committee nominated a full non-partisan ticket for the ten places on the supreme court bench and the three minor Judicial of fices to be filled at the coming election, They took the official title of Judiciary nominators, and adopted a black trlnn- gle as their emblem. This title and emblem will go on the official ballot over the names of their candidates. Tammany Hall got up a special ticket by petition, containing the names of nil the regular Tammany nominees for the bench, and nominated them all over again as Independents. This pseudo-independent ticket goes on the ballot right next to the ticket of the Judiciary nominators and It has "Inde pendent nominators" for Its title, and a blackened anvil aa an emblem. Hope to Confuse Voters. The Idea of this whole proposition la to confuse voters, so that many who Intend to vi te the ticket of the Judi ciary nominators, which haa been In dorsed by tho Republicans nnd stands a fair chance of election, will put their mark In the circle under the anvil, and, therefore, cant their votes by mis take for the Tammany nominees, which would mean that the combined voteN ot the tatter would be counted. Protest to the board of elections against this has been unavailing, and the time Is too short to allow the at torneys for the judiciary nominators to carry their case Into court. Thus the Tummnny men hope that In their confusion many voters, hesitating to split tlielr ballots, for fear of Invulldat Ing them, will vote straight party tick cts, while still others will vote the on vil ticket by mistake.
