LAW VIOLATION ALLEGED Directors Sought to Dictate Prices, Circuit Attorney Maintains. bhi:

4 Quo warranto proceedings were begun Saturday in the Cirouit Court by Circuit Attorney Sager against the Polar Wave Iee and Fuel Co., to compel a forfeiture of its charter, on account of the al- Jeged unlawful consolidation of seven companies. The suit also asks $72,100 damages for the time that the consoli- dation has been in effect. The petition sets forth that when the consolidation .took effect the capital stock of the company was represented as $1,800,000 In lawful money and all paid up by the stockholders, whereas, ‘ft is charged, that in fact the- money was not pald, but that the company was simply formed by the new company tak- ing over the assets of seven companies. _ The companies named as having been consolidated are the American Ice and Coal Co., the Muckerman Ice and Coal Co., the Union Ice Co., the Creve Coeur Lake Ice Co., the Huse & Loomis Ice and Transportation Co., the Huse-Go- dell Ice Co. and the LHygeia Ice Co. Attempt to Contrpi Alleged. It is alleged that Charles W. White- law, Christ Muckerman, Ignatius C. Muckerman, John C. ° Muckerman and Herman E.

Apparently on the verge of nervous collapse all r ort _ ing, he walked out of the courtroom and down Fulton’s n ain street after the jury reported, declaring he “‘felt fine.’’ aA When the 12 men filed in this morn- ing and the foreman so'emnly an- nounced the jury’s accuittal of Bailey, he sat motionless in his chair for sev- eral seconds and then said ina low voice, “Thank you, gentlemen, thank you,” re- peating the expression several times. His Wife Kisses Him. Mrs. Bailey, whose trial was interrupt- ed. was sitting by his side when the jury reported. She embraced him and kissed him. while he held her hands. “I knew you'd be all right, Ted,” she said. “And I‘ knew you're all right, too, he. replied. Bailey shot Lawder on the railroad station platform at Farber, Mo., after being told by Mrs. Bailey that she had been friendly with Lawder. Through- out the trial Mrs. Bailey held her month-old baby on her lap. She testi- fied that Jay Lawder wag its father. Letters she had written to Lawder vowing her love for him played an im- portant part in the trial. In some of them she threatened his life for forsak- ims her for another woman. Bailey testified that he had never sus- pected his Wife until she told him of her relations with Lawder, who was a rich coal operator in Farber. He at once went in search of Lawder and shot him es le was boarding a train for Mexico, Mo. After a brief delay, while the verdict was read, Mrs. Bailey's trial was re- sumed, and Attorney Hay, who had been denouncing the Baileys and laud- ing Lawder’s character before the ver- dict came in, continued his speech for the State. Bailey Restrains Wife. \ A startling incident occurred a few moments before the. verdict was re- turned. Hay had been talking about Mrs. Bailey's baby and said: “Tt's the living image of Ned Balley.” “No,” shouted Mrs. Balley from the defendant's chair. “It’s just like that other man.” Hailey, who rat next to his wife, slapped her across the mouth in a hasty effort to make her silent. Judge Burns stopped Mr. Hay long enough to tell Mrs, Bailey that she must not disturb the proceedings, and that if she did not remain quiet he would place a special guard over her. The case of Mrs. Bailey will prob- ably go to the jury tonight. NEBRASKANS BUY OUT RON FIRM New Paddock-Hawley Oo. Has $700,000 Capital, Half
