gwtisl to The fieorflan.
Greensboro, X. C„ Nov. S.-rGener-
p11y it was supposed that the “Breeee
rate," which was probably the longest
and hardest fought Indictment ever
tried In the Federal courts of this state,
„„ dosed, but it seems that It will
be thrashed over again.
In July, 1897. the Hrst 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 Dicker-
,Jin, one of the directors, were indicted
for 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 IV. E. Breese, the president,
was 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,
and on account of. alleged local preju
dice against the defendant, the case
a as removed from Asheville to Char
lotte. Breese took an appeal to the
circuit court of appeals and this court
declared lie was Illegally convlctod, be
cause one of the grand Jurors who
found the bill of Indictment had not
paid Ills taxes and Breese was dis
charged from custody, a free man, be
cause between the time of finding the
bill of Indictment In 1897 and the ren
dition of the Judgment on appeal the
statute had barred any further linding
of a bill of indictment. The bill of
indictment which the United States
court declared was defective and under
which Breese was three times tried
and finally convicted was a bill found
by a grand Jury at the November term,
1897, of the United States court at
Asheville.
Compromise Rumored.
An examination of the docket .of the
1'nlted States court held In Greensboro
In October, 1897. shows that at that
term the grand jury found a true bill
against IV. E. Breese, president of the
First National Bank of Asheville, for
the alleged wrecking of. the bank In
July. 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
bill that Breese was arrested. It now
seems that another bill was found at
the November term at Asheville; that
Breese was tried under this and that
the October bill Is still good.
An effort to reach District Attorney
Holton and get Information on this new
development has been Ineffectual.
Judge Bynum, who prosecuted the case
as a special employee of the govern
ment for two trials, when asked about
It, was absolutely non-committal, say
ing he knew nothing of tils new phnse
of the case.
Judge Boyd declined to be inter
viewed cm the subject. But the clerk 1
docket shows that a bill was found at
the October term and 'the' case was
transferred to the Asheville docket for

A fund of $2,500 was reported actual
ly In hund at the meeting of promt
nent citizens held Friday afternoon ln
the office of C. C. Hanson for the pur
pose of organizing aft 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 Inst meeting to make a can
vass of the different branches of trade
for stock ln the exchange were present,
and the chairmen made favorable re
ports In every Instance. The banks of
the city nnd several out-of-town cot
ton men are yet to be heard from, and
these will ln all probability subscribe
tho remaining sum necessary.
The Board of Trade for 1907 will
bo merely an experiment, and It has
been estimated that about $4,600 will
be actually ln Imnd before the exchange
can be organized. Tho 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 he 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
rhamber of Commerce. Such members
would be allowed one share, the non
resident members would be considered
ns associate members.
It was the sense of the meeting that
the Board of Trade was to be ninde 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 necured where noon lunch
can be served anil tho quarters made
as attractive as possible. The details
of the organization will ho discussed at
the meeting to be held at the same
place next Friday afternoon at
o'clock.

HARD TO SEE
Even When the Facte About Cofi'te
Art Plain.
New York, Nov. 3.—Democratic lead
ers make no secret of their agitation
over the fact that tho Independence
Leaguers 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. Tho object of this Is to obtain,
If possible, the -registration and elec
tion day patronage for the Hearst or
ganisation Instead of for the regular
party at the next election.
In these closing days of the cam
paign It becomes more and more ap
parent that Hearst has shoved the reg
ular Democratic party Into the back
ground and that he Is. together with
Ids managers and speakers, exploiting
the Independence Leaguo, and relegat
ing the regular party farther and far
ther to the rear. JTho Democratic state
headquarters In the Victoria hotel are
as dead as the catacoinbe of Egypt, and
William J.* Conners, the state chair
man, has few of his stenographers and
his employees to keep him company.
League Men Are 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
1s bustle and Industry and the Inde
pendence League managers are priding
themselves on the fact that, after the
coming eleetlen their party will bo a
recognized party undor the laws of the
state.
It will only be necessary to poll 10,-
000 votes for the Independence League
to establish the organization at a reg
ular party so that It can hold conven
tions and select entire tickets for fu
ture state und local elections. That
the league will poll many times the
necessary 10.000 votes la a certainty,
and the regular parly leaders look wilh
Jealous eyes upon the strides that the
new organization haz taken.
Ballot it 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 tho ballot and In somq of the col
umns there will be several different
emblems for various Independent con
gressional, state and assembly nomi
nees. For Manhattan and the Bronx
there will bo seventeen independent
emblems, many of which are gro-
tesque.
One assembly candidate has selected
a hat as an emblem, another 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 and
a lion 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.
Lawyers Form Csmmittee.
The lawyers have fornjed an Inde
pendent coinmltteo 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 trian
gle as their emblem. Tills 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 tho names of all
tho regular Tammany nominees for
the bench, and nominated them
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 as an emblem.
Hope to Confuee Voters.
The Idea of this whole proposition Is
to confuse voters, so that many who
Intend to vote the ticket of the Judi
clary nominators, which has been In
dorsed by the Republicans and stands
a fair chance of election, will put their
mark In the circle under the anvil,
and, therefore, cast their votes by mis
take for the Tammany nominees,
which would mean that the combined
votes of the latter would be counted.
Protest to tbo board of elections
against this has been unavailing, and
the time Is ton short to allow tho
torneys for the judiciary nominators
to carry their case Into court. Thus
the Tammany men hope that In their
confusion many voters, hesitating to
split their ballots, for fear of invalidat
ing them, will vote straight party tick
ets, while still others will vote the an
vll ticket by mistake.
