Washington. Jan. 3.?Aside from
the big cases which It has pending
before the Supreme Court, the Oe
partment of Justice la engaged In a
fssnral campaign against other trusts
which It le trying to dissolve. In
th* new Idea of criminal indlct
is being developed to the ful?
lest extent
Indictments have been obtained
again*** the prlnclpala in the Patten
QiittsS eeroer; against officers of the
Beef Treat and against the promoters
of the "Bethtub Trust." Civil aulta
also are pending In varloua parts ol
the country for the dissolution of a
number of other trusts. Among the
eeaabinatlons of this character which
Attorney Oenerai Wlckersham, act
Ing for President Taft. Is trying to
smash sre the Dupont Powder oom
pealee* the Sugar Trust, the Harri
rtman Pacific Railroad merger in al?
leged contravention of the Sherman
law; the Southern Grocers' Trust; the
steading anthracite coal arrange
menu; ths towing trust on the Oreat
Lakee; the Brick Trust et Chicago,
aad the Terminal Trust at St. Louis.
Until the recent indictments of the
beef, cotton and bathtub operators,
the criminal section of the Sherman
law had not been called Into use to
any great extent. Now the Adnlnls
t rat Ion Intends to proceed vigorously
against flagrant violators of the Sher?
man law by eecuring criminal Indict
raente against them. It Is believed
that criminal Indictments will be
sought against certain principals of
the Sugar. Tobacco, and Oil Trusts
and possibly the Steel Trust .
Ths decisions of the Supreme Court
sustain beyond controversy, the prop
usattoa that every contract, combine
tlon or conspiracy having for its pur
pose or directly and necessarily af?
fecting the control of prices, suppres
?Jon of competition, creation of a
monopoly, or other o bat ruction or re*
tratnt of trade or commerce among
the States le made Illegal by the Sher?
ry ;*n act These court decisions also
La re sustained ths proposition that
every person making such a contract
or engaging In such a combination,
or conspiracy is guilty of a misde?
meanor, snd Is liable to fine an/* im
prisonmeat
It le therefore, the plan of Attor?
ney Oenerai Wlckersham and his as
eoctetes, where the evidence shone
that the defendants have combined
with the obvious Intention of restrict
tug output dividing territory, fixing
prices, excluding competition or oth
erwies restraining inter-State or for
sign commerce, or attempting to
monopolise com marc* among the
States, to consider these facts as evi?
dence of such a deliberate attempt to
violate the law ss to Justify the use
of all the remedlee of the Sherman
est sdequate to prevent the accom?
plishment of auch purposes and to
pwnlsh ths attempt as criminal. In
these oasee the department from now
on will try to secure criminal Indict?
ments.
The most Important of these crim?
inal trails Is In program before Fed?
eral Judge Oeorge A. Carpenter, at
Chicago. Indictments were obtained
In September against Louie F. Swift.
Edward F. Swift. Charles F. Salft.
Francis A. Fowler, Edward Ttlden, J.
Ogden Armour. Arthur Meeker,
Tniamsa J. Connors, Edward Morris
aad Louis H. Herman, charging them
with conspiracy In reetralnt of Inter
Stats trade in cattle and freeh meats.
In this case Mr. Wlckersham Is try.
lag to land the meat barons In jail.
Argument of the indictment has al?
ready been msde on legal technical?
ities and the actual trial will begin In
ths near future.
In defending themselvee the beef
barons have engaged not less thsn 12
some of them among ne?
in the country. In the van
ird of the Reef Trust conael Is
Morits Roseuthal. of Chicago, the at?
torney who Is said to receive a $ 1 ,
eee.tOO salary annually from the
Standard (Ml Company for his ser?
vices, and with him Is Igftl Mayer, of
Chicago, and two-score others. This
ease was originally In the hands of
Edwin W. Kims, but Attorney < iener
el Wlckersham haa taken the whole
matter out of Mr. Sims' hands and
pigged a special trial force In charge
of ths effort to punish the beef barons
ae criminals. They sre all working

Attorney. The series of Indictments
egalnst these beef men seek to punish
them by Imprisonment for SggantsaV
I
ton, conspiracy and operating a mo?
nopoly.
Two other groups of Beef Trust in?
dictments have also been obtained.
Down at Savannah cases are pending
against the Armour Packing Com?
pany, Swift & Co., Morris & Co., Cud
shy A Co., Schwarzschild & Sulzber
ger, Frederick M. Hull, Jr., Emmett
It. Adams and William D. Cooper for
combining to fix prices of fresh meats
and destroy competition. Up in Hos?
ton another batch of indictments Is be?
ing pressed against the meat-rend?
ering combine, those indicted being
John Heardon & Sons Company, the
Consolidated Rendering Company.
Ferdinand Sulzberger, Horatio W.
Heath and Cyrus S. Hapgood, it be?
ing charged that they have tried to
?o divide New England territory
among themselves as to avoid compe?
tition.
Besides the civil suits pending in
Baltimore against the Bathtub Trust,
criminal indictments were obtained
only as late as December 6 last in the
United States Court for the Eastern
district of Michigan against Francis
J. Torrance, Herman M. Hoelscher,
A. H. Cline, Jr., T. R. Barnea and
Howard T. Gates, the "bathtub bar?
ons," for conspiracy to restrain trade
of Jobbers In plumbing supplies, for
combination and attempt to secure a'
monopoly. Edwin P. Groavenor, spe?
cial assistant to the Attorney General
has had charge both of the civil suits
at Baltimore and the criminal indict?
ments in Detroit against the Bathtub
Trust. John Philip Hill, United States
District Attorney at Baltimore, Is as?
sociated with Mr. Grosvenor In press?
ing the civil cases there, which are
being pushed to the limit. The suits
were filed in July and the Govern?
ment has put all ite evidence before
Lin dee y C. Spencer, of Baltimore, who
has been appointed special master in
chancery to take the testimony. It is
now up to the defendants to submit
evidence In their own defense, and af?
ter that the cases will come before
the United States Circuit Court for
the district, which Includes Maryland,
with Judgea Qoff, Prltchard, Morris
and Rose on the bench. The crim?
inal indictments In these cases were
obtained in Detroit, because the At?
torney General did not consider It
wise to have them tried In the same
Jurisdiction as the civil suits.
Since July indictments have been
obtained in the "cotton corner '
against Jamea A. Patten, Eugene O.
Scales. Frank It. Hayne. William V.
Brown and Robert M. Thompson,
charging them with conspiracy to
monopolize inter-State commerce In
available cotton and finally selling
the cotton to consumers at arbitrary
and excessive prices. The result of
thla proaecutlon will have important
conaequencea in determining how far
the Sherman act la adequate to break
up "poola" or "cornera" to control the
price of artlclea dealt In on commer?
cial exchanges and to punish those
who take part in them. Demurrer
has been filed to the Government's In?
dictment of theae men in the Circuit
Court for the Southern district of
New York, and it la now up to the
partlea to argue the demurrer.

SYNOPSIS OF DECISION OF SC
PBKMB COURT.
Gsjgej Involved the Validity Of the Trust
Deed in lbs suniti'f Banking nmi
MtfOSStilt CO* Liquidation?Court
Declared the Deed Voidable Hut
Says Forbes Was I Stopped from At?
tacking It.
(Reported for The Stnte by H. A.
Whitman. |
W. B. Forbes, appellant, va. W. A.
Bowman, et al, respondents?This is
an action to set aside a trust deed on
UM ?round that its provisions are in
violation of the assignment law and
the statute *>f Elizabeth. After testi?
mony had been taken by the master
of Sumter county, the case came be?
fore Circuit Judge Geo. W. Gage,
who, in his decree, gave judgment In
favor of the defendants, from which
judgment plaintiff appealed.
Opinion by Justice Wooda:
The trust deed executed by W. A.
Bowman and the Sumter Banking
and Mercantile company to R. L
Manning and others, as trustees for
creditors, could hardly have been more
complex and difficult to understand.
Careful consideration leads me to the
conclusion reached by Justice Gary:
(1) That the debtors were insol?
vent when the deed was executed;
(2) that the intention was to convoy
the entire property of W. A. Bow?
man, aa well as that of the Sumter
Banking and Mercantile company;
(3) that the deed contemplated the
payment of the creditors mentioned
In the deed to the exclusion of other
creditors, and (4) that It provided for
the return of the surplus of the prop?
erty to the debtora Instead of its ap?
plication in the claims of other credi
tora not mentioned in the deed. Un?
der this state of facts it inevitably
follows as a conclusion of law that
the deed was voidable at the instance
of creditors not provided for becauae
obnoxious, both to the assignment act
and to the statute of Elizabeth. Jacot
vs. Corbett. Cheves Equity, 71; Stu?
art vs. Harrison, 3 S. C, 266; Claflin
vs. Iseman, 23 S. C, 416.
In reaching this conculsion notice
should be taken of the following pro?
vision appearing In the deed as the
24th clause:
"That the trustees shall apply the
proceeds of sale and collections from
the individual property of W. A. Bow
mun only to the payment of the indi?
vidual debts and obligations of the
said W. A. Bowman, Including his
indorsements and guaranties."
If this atood alone it coluld well be
construed aa providing for a ratable
dlatrlbutlon to all the creditors of W.
A. Bowman, but this construction
would be Inconsistent with and en?
tirely defeat the 13th clause ? which
provides that after the creditors spe?
cially mentioned in the deed have
been paid, the surplus shall be paid
over to the debtors, if the two clauses
are to be construed together and both
given effect then "the individual debts
and obligations of the aald W. A.
Bowman" mentioned in the latter
clause must be held to refer only to
those debts and obligations mention?
ed In the 13th clause. If the two
clauses are to be regarded absolutely
Irreconcilable then that which ap
peara flrpt In the deed and provides
that the debtors and not the creditors
/hall receive the surplus In the hands
of the trustees must be given effect In
preference to that which Is after?
ward written. It is, however, but
Just to the parties interested to aay
that th*?y made an offer to the
plaintiff that he should come In and
have the benefit of the terms of the
deed as If the 24th clause of the deed
atood alone, unlimited by the 13th
clause, and the circuit judge held that
he could yet come In and receive all
the benefits of the deed of trust.
There was no exception to thia find?
ing.
Notwithstanding the conclusion
that the deed was voidable under the
statute of Elizabeth and the assign?
ment statute, it seems to mo clear
that the plaintiff Is estopped from at?
tacking the transaction. The suit
is at the Instance of the plaintiff alone
and for himself and other creditors,
and if there be othe r creditors of W.
a. Bowman, the record does not die*
ci<?se that any of them have com plain -
??d or sought to set eelde the deed.
Therefore if the plaintiff has taken
action which mak< i it Inequitable
that he should be heard to attack
the deed the case is at en end.
On the subject of estoppel the cir?
cuit Judge said in ins decree: "1
have not considered Ihe i Iroumstances
that the plaintiff, as president of ?
corporation, signed the deed of trust
for his corporation as <>ne of the
principal creditors, i do noi think
it necessary to decide upon the legal
effect of such an act; Put it? moral
ft.ice is of consequence when ?? chan
cellor ?onus to ask him ? If in the
consideration of s cause whether ?
wrong has been done." This lang"
u tgo, it is true, does not Indicate very
clearly ths extent to which estoppe
entered Into the conclusion of tin
court, but It does Indicate ver> clear
ly that it was taken into consider?
ation. This being so, when respond?
ents' counsel relied on estoppel in this
court they were not introducing into
the case a new ground not relied ? n
by the circuit judge. It was not nec
eessary therefore, for respondents'
counsel to give the notice required
by Hule 5 that they would rely upon
wstoppel as an additional ground in
support of the circuit decree. At the
least the applicability of the rule is ex?
tremely doubtful; and when that is
so, it should not be applied so as to
exclude an issue of vital importance
to a Just decision on the merits d
the case.
The execution of the trust agree?
ment and conveyance on the part of
the Richmond Guano company was
by the hand of the plaintiff as its
vice president. An officer of a cor?
poration is not estopped as an indi?
vidual by signing a deed for the cor?
poration under the direction of the
board of directors or superior officers
of the corporation. The Just rul-3
however, and that which is supported
by the current of later judicial expres?
sion Is that estoppel arises against one
as an individual when he, as an offi?
cer of a corporation or in any repre?
sentative capacity, voluntarily par
ticipates in the making of a deed or
other transaction on behalf of the
corporation, and the other parties to
the transaction incur expense or are
put at a disadvantage by acting under
the agreement in reliance upon his
approval and participation. This is
the principle on which the following
cases were decided. In Hancock vs.
Caskey, 8 S. C, 282, it was held that
when lands were sold under a decree
for partition, without reservation of
the growing crops, a guardian ad
litem of the infant defendants was
estopped from claiming such crops
as his property. In Mortgage Co. vs.
Walker (Ga.) 46, S. E., 426, the act
of the plaintiff in signing a deed as
agent was held to estop him from as?
serting title ir. himsef. The court
said: "The deed may have been the
act of Mrs. Walker, but the recitals
of fact and the representations bound
the conscience of the agent, and es
topped him from using any righ*. or
title outstanding in himself." In Bi nk
vs. Bank (N. C.) 50, S. E? 848, oie
C. was the president of a ccrporation
Which had conveyed the property in
dispute. The court said: "True, this
was a conveyance by the corporation,
and therefore is not an estoppel
against C. as an individual. But ho
signed the deed for the company as
its president, and this covenant that
the* property is free from incum
brances amounts to a representatioi
by him that this is true."
In Wells vs. Steckelberg (Neb.), 66
Am. Stat. Rep., 629, it was held that
if one assumes in a representative ca
pacity to sell and convey to another
the entire estate in laud, he is estop
ped from settling up an estate there?
in in his own right against the pur
chaser. In Schn?ble vs. McNeill
(Texas), 110 S. W., 658, an adminis?
trator conveying, under order of the
court, property in which ho as an In
dividual owned a life Interest was
held to pass his own Interest by es?
toppel. In Tomllnson vs. Drought
(Texas), 127 S. W., 262, It was held
that where executors conveyed prop?
erty under a trust deed as belonging
to the estate, they were estopped
from claiming that any part of It be
longed to tiiem personally. In
Brock vs. Rogers (Mass.), 68 N. E.,
334, oue who by leave of court had
sold as guardian land standing in the
name of his wjard was not allowed to
set up an adverse title in the land in
himself. See also 11 A. & E. Ency.,
397, and 16 Cyc. 712/
There Is a presumption that an of?
ficer who signs a deed on behalf of a
corporation participated in the ne?
gotiations which led up to it, and ap-*|
proved its execution. If the plaintiff
was compelled by his superiors to
sign the deed, or if he, as an indi?
vidual, intended to attack it, good faith
required him to speak befoie he par?
ticipated in it, and before the defend?
ants had acted under it and incurred
the expense necessarily incident to
the execution of the trust. The rec?
ord afford^ no explanation of the
plaintiff's course in participating in
the trust agreemnt on behalf of a
corporation in which he was interest?
ed, and afterward attacking the agree?
ment as illegal and fraudulent when
the defendants had incurred expense
in carrying it out. Under the facta
here appearing it seems to mo that
tin> plaintiff is estopped from alleging
against the validity of tin- trust deed
and agr< ement.
The Judgment of the circuit court
stands affirmed by reason of an equal
division of this court.

Mercy.
Columbia, Jan. 6.?Pink Franklin
will spend the remainder of his days
in the State penitentiary. The sen
tonce of death Impom d vipon the ne?
gro in the Orangeburg county court
in 1907 was yesterday commuted to
life Imprisonment by dovernor Ansel.
This action follows the filing of a
great many petitions asking executive
clemency. These came from more
than a score of counties and were
signed by several hundred persons.
There were a number of petitions
protesting against a pardon or com?
mutation.
Franklin wp.k convicted of the mur?
der of H. E. Valentine, a constable,
and he was to have been hanged on
December 23. Recently Qov. Ansel
granted a respite to the negro until
January 27. The case was decided
by Gov. Ansel independent of a re?
view by the* State board of pardons.
Following the conviction of the ne?
gro In Orangeburg county an appeal
was taken to the South Carolina su?
preme court, where the judgment of
the lower court was affirmed. The
case was next appealed on a writ of
error to the United States supreme
court, but there being r.o federal
question involved, the appeal was dis?
missed on motion of Attorney General
Lyon. Until several months ago the
case of Franklin was handled by two
negro lawyers, Moorer and Adams,
Mr. Bonaparte, former attorney gen?
eral of the United States, fllea a brief
with the United States supreme court
in the negro's behalf.
When the appeal had been dis?
missed by the United States supreme
court, the case carrle back to the
State supreme court. An order was
issued for the Orangeburg court to
assign a day for the execution of
Franklin. In the meantime a new
trial was asked In the Orangeburg
county court on the grounds of after
discovered evidence. The trial was
refused, and again the case came be?
fore the State Bupreme court. While
this appeal was pending it was de?
cided to abandon the cause and to
ask that Gov. Ansel pardon or com?
mute the sentence of Franklin. It
is that petition that Gov. Ansel has
acted on. This case has attracted no
little attention in the North and many
appeals have come from the Northern
press.
Following is Gov. Ansel's decree In
the case:
"The petitioner, Pink Franklin, was
tried at the fall term, 1907, of the
court of general sessions for Orange
burg county for the killing ef on? H.
E. Valentine, was convicted by the
Jury, and sentenced by his honor,
Judge J. C. Klugh, the presiding
Judge, to be hanged soon thereafter.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court of t)his State, where the Judg?
ment of the lower court was affirmed,
and on writ of error to the supreme
court of the United States, there be?
ing no federal question involved, the
appeal was dismissed. The defend?
ant was then resentenced to be
hanged on the 23rd of December,
1910, and respited by me until Friday,
January IT, 1911, as this petition was
then pending before me.
"This is an application, to me for a
pardon or commutation of the sen?
tence passed in this case. I have
given a great deal of thought to this
application and the law involved in
the case.
"A warrant had been Issued by one
of the Magistrates of Orangeburg
county for Pink Franklin for a viola?
tion of an agricultural contract, said
warrant being dated May 25, 1907. H.
E. Valentine has been appointed as
special constable to execute said war?
rant, and on the morning of the 29th
of July, 1907, he attempted to make
the arrest. Pink Franklin at thit
time was living on the land of one Mr
Spires, about 12 miles from where he
had been living in the spring on Mr.
Thomas' place. I am satisfied that
the warrant was a lawful one at that
time, as the act of the legislature un?
der which this warrant was issued had
not then been declared unconstitu?
tional.
"It appears from tin evidence thai
Mr. Valentine took with him W. M.
t'arter and very early in the morning
of July 29, 1907, went down to the
house of Pink Franklin to make the
arrest. Mr. Carter testifies that they
knocked on the door and called, but
Kot no answer. They did not state who
they were or that they had a warrant
oi- what their mission was. Mr. Car*
ter went to the back of the house to
s. . if he ^ot out there while Mr. Val?
entine went into the house, he stating
that tin- door was open, and soon
thereafter ib.- bring began, three
?hots being tired dose together.
"The solicitor ??f the circuit has
b. . n before me and contends that the
sentence should not be Interfered with
Tb.- circuit judge who presided at the
trial in his report says that the con?
clusion which he reached many
months ago and which Is unchanged
is that the negro ought not to be
hanged for his crime, and earnestly
recommends and urges that I extend
such clemency as my judgment may
dictate.
"Taking into consideration all the
circumstances of the case as shown
by the evidence, together with the
urgent request by the judge who pre?
sided at the trial that 1 exercise
clemency, 1 fed satisfied that the pe?
titioner ought not to be pardoned, but
that the death sentence should be
communed to life imprisonment *n
the penitentiary.
Wherefore, it is adjudged that the
sentence of death heretofore passed
upon the said Pink Franklin be, and
the same |g hereby, commuted to life
imprisonment in the State penitentiary
at hard labor.''
