REQUISISIOIN HONORED FOR C. J. HERBERT But tiie Bird had Flown and Hebert will h*Te to be Sought Elsewhere. C. J. Hebert, Indicted in the Rich land county court one year ago on the charges of conspiracy to dofraud $98,00 from the Seminole Securities company was to have been arrested Saturday in Chattanooga. When the sheriff at Chattanooga, bearing requi sition papers and a warrant, went to arrest Hebert It was found that he had gone to some place in Kansas. It was the intention of Solicitor Cobb to t biing Hebert back to South Carolina fcVo stand trial on the above charges at tJjtlia session of the Hichland county fflphurt. When Hebert returns to Chat ' t inooga ho will be arrested. Requi sition papers from the governor of this State have been honored by Gov. Hooper of Tennessee and the warrant has been issued. Gov. Patterson re fused to honor requisition papers for Hebert a year ago. Hebert may go back to Tennessee. C. .1. Hebert was indicted a year ago with John Y. Garllngton, James Stobo Young and B. W. Lacey on the above named charges and following the exposure of the frauds by several connected with the Seminole Securi ties company. Position of State. "At the January term, 1910, court of general sessions for Riehland county," said Solicitor Cobb Saturday, "a true bill was found against John Y. Garllngton, James Stobo Young, c. J. Hebert and B. W. Lacey, charging them with a conspiracy to cheat and defraud the Seminole Securities com pany* of $98,000. The charge was based on the deal between the Semi nole Securties company and the Southern Life Insurance company of Fayettevilie, N. C, whereby the Semi nole bought from the Southern Life a large block of their stock. C. J. Hebert engineered this scheme and tlit State charges that whereas he represented that he was to receive only $2,000 for his services, as a mat ter of fact the Seminole paid three times the market value of the South- ' era Rife stock in order that a large sum might b<> realized so that liehen and his co-defendants would be able to have a big rake-off, and as a mat ter of fact, according to the State's position they did receive $30.000 in, money and $GS,000 in proniisory notes. Receivers Named. Subsequently this indictment was found charging these men with de frauding the company as above stated. At the same time Garllngton and Young were charged with misappro priating $55,000 belonging to the Sem hiblo Securities company and wore tried nnd convicted and their ease is now in tiro" supremo conn on appeal. In ? le meantime Garllngton and He bert had gone to Chattanooga and a requisition for Garllngton was hon-, ored and he was brought back to ' tili-; State for trial. However when ti ? Indictment charging Robert, Gnr llnglon, Young and Lacey was return ed by the grand jury and a requisition UK"!.- on Gov. Patterson of Tennessee for C. J. Hebt rt it was refused by Gov. Patterson without giving this State n:i opportunity for presenting a brief showing why it should have been hon ored. However. GniiillgtOn, Young and Lacey Oppenrod and gave bond in this pnrtiCUJnr case without its being IV : sary to make requisition for them. "Inasmuch as Hrhort,'1 bo contin ued, "has beer, the moving spirit in selling this block of stock of the Southern Life to the Seminole. the State did not care to push the trial against the other throe defendants un til Hebert was arrested, so that all could bo tried at the same time. Gov. Patterson's refusal to honor our re quisition necessarily hung the matter up for some time. After Gov. Hooper was inducted Into office and after cor respondence with certain lawyers In Tennessee we felt that we could with all safety apply to Gov. Hooper for requisition for Hebert, lie having re mained in Chattanooga all of the while Knowing the troubles that we had had In our efforts to bring him to trial an effort was made and extrnditlon war tlon honored and the oxtradltoln war rant placed in the hands of the sheriff at Chattanooga before Hebert know anything about It and wo managed It pretty well at this end of the line. Requisition Papers Issued. "The papors having been very care fully prepared and the papers Issued by Gov. Blease on the first day of ^ August nnd forwarded to Gov. Hooper f the same day with the rcquost for an opportunity to be heard If he thought that.there wore any reasons why the requisition should not be honored. It so happened that when the papers reached Nashville, Gov. Hooper was away from his office and did not re turn until about the middle of the month and somehow or other Hebert found out that the appllcalon was ^ pending and ho had his lawyers hi' a brief protesting against the requi sition and wo were also accorded the privilege of filing additional roasons . why it should bo honored, and after some delay in Nashville the requisi tion was honored by Oov. Hooper on the 30th of August and the warrant forwarded by Oov. Hooper to the sher iff at Chattanooga requesting him to arrest Hebert. In the meantime Mr. Hebert, for some reason, . had left Chattanooga and was In Kansas. Our information is that he Is soon to re turn to Chattanooga, when we hope to have him arrested and brought, to this State fox trial?The State. CATARRH SUFFERERS.
