JURY C0NVICT8 KIRBY
?Hiid Fleeced Farmer* By Fraudulent
Newspaper Advertising
Norfolk, Vn., May 28. ? A. B. Kirby,
formerly of Gaffney and Spartanburg
who was placed on trial here Friday
in the federal district court charged
with using the mails to' defraud, was
today found guilty and sentenced' to
18 months in the, federal prison in
Atlanta.
Notice of appeal was given and
Judge Groner fixed bond at $4,000.
. Kirby at the time was manager of
a seed concern in Gaffney, later con
ducting a seed business in his own
name.
After being placed in bankruptcy in
Gaffney he operated the Service
Realty company of Spartanburg, spe
cializing . in seeds, plants, etc.
Later in the year 1924 Kirby left
Spartanburg and it was alleged at
.the trial that under the name. of C. L.
Lawrence, Elizabeth City, N. C., he
placed advertisements in a number of
newspapers and magazineb through
out the South offering Otootan beans
at $(>.50 per bushel when the pre
vailing price for this bean was from
$9.50 ' to $12. Other varieties of
beans wery, offered at proportionately
'low prices.
, As a result of these advertisements
many orders were received, the larg
est amounting $750.
It was brought out in the testimony
that numerous orders were received
from North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and other Southern states by
Kirby. Some, of these orders were ig
nored ajtogether, others only partially
filled and instead of Otooton beani,
worth on an average of $11 per
bushel Tar Heel blacks, worth less
.than $3 per bushel, were shipped.
Kirby claimed that the Tar Heel
blacks, when planted in South Caro
lina would produce Otootans. Federal
experts deny this claim, setting out
that these beans reproduced true to
type.
