The juditt attempted to find out how Bricton arrived at f I'jtWO figure lor a mailing list and address ograph, but brought forth no definite replies. "Thokj nlimates would have to be ' set down arbitrarily then, wouldn t they? You don t know hiw those estimates were made, do ycni! the judges queried. Stockholders Not Informed. . "Did the stock directon tver know how many treads you made or what they cost to manufacture?" he asked again. 1 hey wouldn t know the cost, but they had general knowledge of the amount of business," was 11 net- ton's answer. The judges alto atke J Bnriton to produce the letter of patent for the Knctson tire for rights of which DricMon was awarded $4.000.0ti0 worth of common stock and $100,000 preferred stock. Newspaper ads featuring the slogan "JUrictson Builds," which were used to promote stock sale;, were introduced in evidence. Brictson admitted that he thought it necessary to sell $500,000 worth of stock before he could get ready to start building operations and that the sale of another $500,000 would be necessary l.efore actual building could be set in motion. "Have you enough money now, if you didn't sell another dollar's worth of stock to begin building?" asked Mulfinger. "No," was the reply. "Yet your newspaper ads stated you were building them.? Intended to Build. "We intended to, if we sold enough stock; then the war came along and we couldn't;" Brictson re plied. . A' new system of selling tires by k membership certificate, for which a certain fee is charged, has super seded the old plan of selling county rights, he said. "Couldn't you sell tires to Job bers and wholesalers in the regular way, like other tire manufacturers do?" asked Mulfinger. "It would be suicide unless we had money," replied Brictson. We have to continue the mail order way." 1 Persistent efforts on the part of Mulfinger, assisted by Judge Wood rough, elicited the information from Miss Bertha Trasta, order clerk, that the Brictson company sold about 40 Brictson tires a month. Miss Trasta at first insisted . she could not say, that she did not re member how many orders she took per month. . She has been a Brictson employe for 11 years, coming here , from Brookings. Mrs. Brictson Accountant A broad smile swept over the Court room when Miss Trasta said sne turned, over checks to the ac counting department.

Stock Not Transferred, --ihe trios names still appear as stockholders on the books, though Prictson purchased back their stock some tune ago. When asked to explain, Brictson stated the stock had not been trans f erred. . Exhibits of the company's applica tion to the Nebraska blue sky com mission to sell stock and the permit received, provided they paid only 20 per cent commission in cash and 5 per cent in common stock, donated by Brictson, were introduced in evi' dence; also a report to the state com mission of South Dakota that they kept a double entry bookkeeping sys tem. - . : This is xontraductcd by Brictson's own" testimony that he charged off 30 per cent for stock selling expense and auditors statement, that no double entry system was in use.

Since then the shooting affray has occurred and, according to reports reaching here, there has been an awakening at Grand Island. The work of the state in attempt ing to check the spread of social diseases has revealed the fact that the 25-room cottage at the home for women in York doesn't provide near ly enough space for afflicted women, who have been reported to the state, and who, under the law, are liable to confinement -until a cure is ef fected. , Efforts are being made . through State departments to interest the ... f ',.:. 14 1. 1 " i , u 1 in ii " if 1 ' ' It !
