RICHESO35 TEIL JANUARY 15. Pleads "Not Quilty," Court Delying Requested Six Months' Delay. Boston, Nov. 13.-The Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson will be placed on trial on the charge of murdering Miss Avis Linnell January 15, 1912. This date was set late today, when Richeson was arraigned. Without emotion and in a clear voice the preacher pleaded "not guilty." The date of January 15, proposed by District Attorney Pelletier, was stren uously opposed by W. A. Morse, the i pastor's counsel. He declared the de fendant's counsel had not been able to hold a meeting and asked a con tinuance for six months. Escorted by a court officer, the ac cused minister came into court today appearing calm and confident. His month in jail had affected him but lit tle. He showed no signs of nervous ness and his plea of "not guilty" could be heard distinctly in all parts of the room. Attorney General's Reply. Office of Attorney General, Washington, D. C., Nov. 6, 1911. The Hon. Wyatt Aiken, M. C., Abbe ville, South Carolina-My Dear Sir: I have your favor of 31st ultimo. I quite agree with you on the general proposition that, if cornering a prc duct which is dealt in in interstate eommercefi for the purpose of increas ing its price, is illegal, similar cor nering for the purpose of depressing its price is likerse illegal. The forma tion of a corner for the increasing I the price is easily understood. A num ber of men get together, and by their combined means or credit, buy up| enough of the commodity to control the market, withhold it from sale un til the demand for it forces the price to the point at which they are willing tp let it go, and thereby impose upon the manufacturer, who must use th3 product, the burden of an artificial price.' It is not so clear by -hat process a "bear pool" is organized or conducted, and I have no evidpnce in this depart -ment of a tangible character which enables me to form the opinion that any designated individuals have comn Mined to depress the .price of cotton below its normal figure. Moreover, it' is not quite clear in my mind how such a "bear pool" can operate to restrain interstate commerce. 1 sup pose-'the method by which such a comn h ination would operate would be to throw upon the market at a given time a quantity of a commodity in ex cess of the demand which woul4 result in its being taken only at prices which the purchasers thought would enable them to resell at a profit I don't ait all know what the prac tice is among the cotton growers in your State, for instance, respecting -the sale of their product. When I last had occasign,to.fmine t;he question, which was a few years ago, the crop was pretty generally sold to the cotton -factors before it was S,ked, the price 1)eing based upon the prevailing price of the previous year, and increased or decreased according to the ratio be Stween the crop produced in the coun try the preceding year and the esti mated crop of the current year. Generally speaking, I take it that. the "bulls and hears" are the brokers who, on the cotton exchange, at a giv " I had a severe pain between m~ vertisement in the street cars I got a KLINIP is an excellent antiseptic remedy for penetrating-needs no rubbing. So Price 25c., 50e :4 Sloax's book on Horses, Cattle, Ho nL EARL S. mA en time, are seeking to increase and depress prices respectively. The "bears" are trying .to beat down the prices in order to buy at a lower figure, and the "bulls" are trying to run prices up in -order to sell at a higher figure. The interests of the spinners would be, generally, with the "bears," and the interests of the factors, or cotton deal ers be with the "bulls." A "bear" movement would be initiated if, for example, concerns deaing in cotton had borrowed ivry large on a close margin, and, for some reason or oth er, were compelled to sell for the pur pose of meeting other loans, and a movement, once begun, toward the lowering of price, would be apt to gain headway because other people, having cotton on margin, would be fearful of greater loss if they waited until the price went lower, and so would rush into the market, determin ed to get rid of their product at a given time. How a "bear pool" would operate, I confess I do not quite understand, nor do I know of the exitence of any such pool. By pool I me a group of men who, for the purpose of controlling the price of a commodity, in their own interest, buy a sufficiently large amount of the property to enable then to control the price in the market. I write, giving you just my impressions of the subject, because you may havt fuller knowledge than I, and I should be very glad to have you give me any detailed information available to yot going to show the existence and opera. tion of any combination formed for thE purpose of depressing the price of cot ton. In the proceeding against those en gaged in the so-called "bull cottor pool" whicli the government brough a year or so ago, the United StateE circuit court in New York held tha "corners" were iNegal and immoral but that a combination formed to cor ner and enhance the price of cottoi did not operate in restraint of inter state commerce even though, as wa, alleged in the indictment, the neces sary effect, as well as the intende< purpose, of .the combination was tc increase the price which the spinner: had to .pay, and, as a matter of fact by so increasing the price a large per centage of the spinners had refraine< from manufacture and had thereb: been restrained in commerce amons the several States. An appeal fron the judgment of the court, sustaining a demurrer to the essential counts 0 the indictment, has been argued in th< supreme court of the United State: and .is now under consideration. I the court shall decide the essentia question involved and not let the cas' go off on a technical matter of plead ing, we Inay have some light whici will be ,of 'aid in the enforcement o the law against other combinations o a like character. But, aside frdm thai my greatest difficulty I should have il dealing with the case you mention 1 what I liave outlined above. Very respectfully, Geo. W. Wickersham, Attorney General.
