Another Step Taken in the Dispensary Case?Federal Circuit Judge Pritchard Issues Order Against Two Columbia Attorneys. M'ws and Courier. Richmond, Va., November 14.? 'urther complication in I lie celebrated South Carolina dispensary ease developed yesterday when, after all day onferences with attorneys representng the Wilson and iFlcisehnian disilling companies, Judge Jeter C. Vitcliard, of lite United States ciruit court, issued an order commandng Archibald W. Hay and Duncan \ I?av, the latter a prominent attorney of Columbia, S. C., to appear be'ore him to show cause why they ihould not be punished for contempt ?f court. The attorneys at the conferences vere T. Moultrie Mordecai, of Chareston, S. C.; Frank Carter, of Ashe ille, N. (!., representing the Wilson ompan\; A. S. Barnard, of Ashe*ille, N. C., and (I. B. Lester, of Ciji innati; O., representing Ihe Fleischnan interests. The complainants uade a motion tlivt tho Hay brothers )e 'ruled for contempt in seeking to lave Judge Pritchard orders, in vhich he took charge of Ihe dispell- I ?ary hinds, set aside or abrogated lo " eh an extent as to allow them to re-! over, the amount of the claim upon ivhicli A. W. Hay procured a writ of nandamus from ihe supreme court of >outli Carolina. Judge Pritchard's rule is returnable December 21 at Greenville, S. C. The whole trouble arises out of the suits brought by the Fleisclunan ouipany and others against the comnissioncrs appointed to wind up the itTairs of t!u> j>hl South Carolina dis?ensarv board of control on claims for whiskey purchased by the board from complainants before the insli! lit ion was abolished. 1 he commissioner-; constituted hemselves as a court, and proceeded o lake testinvonv as lo Jhe various daims, and in many instances refused o allow the full amount claimed In he parties, and in the case of Ullman ft Co., held thai instead of the Slate icing indebted to that concern, it really owed the State several thousand lollars on account of rebates, which ;he commissioners claimed had been >aid to the former board of control, ind also on account of the fact that ho goods sold lo the board were sold it n price higher than that charged )ther consumers. The complainants then brought their claims before Judge Pritchard, n the Federal court at Asheville, vhich was hotly contested bv the comnissioners, on the ground I bat the commission was itself a court, and hat. Judge Pritchard did not have jurisdiction. Judge Pritchnrd, however, assumed jurisdiction, and appointed recoiv- d ers to take cliargo of the funds. Upon t this an appoal was taken by tho com- <1 mission to the United States circuit ^ court of appeals, wherein Judge v Pritchnrd wits sustained. v The case is now before the Uitcd " States supreme court, for the com- 1 mission having applied there for a j writ of certiorari. A. W. Hay pur- 0 chased a claim against the commission j of $354.35,.^uul brought suit against ( the commissioners in the State court, v and recovered a judgment. This, however, the commissioners were unable to pay, under tlie former ordci of Judge Pritchnrd, and did refuse to pay. Kay, thereupon went to tho supreme court of South Carolina and j procured a writ of mandnmns to com- 0 pol (he commissioners to pay tlie s judgment. ' The present contempt- proceedings j v are instituted on account of the at- v tempted violation of Judge Pritch- t ard's order, which is to the effect that v no amounts shall be paid out of the t fund, except by an order of his court. \ feFpeoplTp with cash t Our customei A check acco Bank will eli difficulties of funds as you Your busines coined. . . , of Newbei J.
