Tha court's decision will take tha property

nearly three months. The St. Louis Union
Trust company ts the receiver.
In his opinion. Judge McPherson com
pared the Lewis schemes to the Mississippi
Bubble and other historic get-nch-qulck
episodes and declared that if a fraction of
the allegations made In the receivership
petition were true tha Lewis affair con
stituted ona of tha most gigantic frauds of
the century.
Tha receivership suit waa Clad June IX
It waa alleged that the reorganisation
plan was a scheme tn Lewis' behalf to de
prive the creditors further of their just
