THE CLAIMANTS WIN.
Judge Ross Decides the Fruit
vale Winery Seizure Case.
The Purchasers of the Property
Win the Suit.
Some Law Points of Interest to Wine
Men and Distillers.
A Celebrated Case at Last Ended—Messrs.
Brousseau tc Hatch and McPike
•Win an Important Suit.
A case of unusual importance to vine
yardists and distillers was decided by
United States District Judge Ross, yes
terday morning, and some new points in
the revenue laws were handled in a way
mtrhieh, from their importance, ought to
be brought to the attention of all read
ers, but lack of space forbids a presenta
tion of more than a synopsis of the opin
ion.
it may be remembered that on the
second day of November, 1888, the
Fruitvale Winery and Distillery, at
■Fresno, was seized by the collector
of internal revenue, for an alleged
infraction of "the revenue laws. That
subsequently the United States Attoi
ney, Mr. Denis, filed a libel against the
property seized, and that the act on his
part was followed by the indictment and
conviction of W." More Young, the
•former secretary of the Fruitvale com
pany, for complicity in the alleged
frauds committed. Before the seizure
of the second of November took place,
however, Messrs. Wolters, Helm, Aus
tin and Kauffman, purchased the dis
tillery property of the Fruitvale com
pany, without notice, as they claimed, of
the frauds which had taken place prior
to their purchase, in the year 1887.
Wolters and Helm being called upon to
.file an answer to the libel of the govern
-ment, set up as a defense to the action,
that W. More Young at the time he was
■convicted by the jury in the United
States court, for his" fraudulent acts
while secretary, was an owner of the
-property seized, and that the govern
ment by seeking to forfeit the property,
was proceeding to punish him twice for
the same offense, that is to say, by in
carcerating him, and by taking away his
property. The novelty of this defense
•brought fbrth a demurrer from United
•States Attorney Willoughby Cole, and it
wa<i this special defense and the demur
rer which called forth the very able
opinion of District Judge Ross, a part of
which is printed below. Mr. Walters,
"the only one of the claimants present,
looked as if he had just received a par
•don for some grave offense, as the last
words of the judge fell upon the atten
tive ears of all present, as the}' practic
ally lifted the hands of the government
from about $40,000 worth of his property.
His attorneys, Messrs. Brousseau and
'Hatch,of this city, and Henry C. McPike
of San Francisco, were apparently calm
and serene, as it was their wont to be in
the courtroom, but a close observer
might, have discerned that Mr. Wolters
had some company in his exhilaration.
This was pardonable in the attorneys
•mentioned, for they certainly conducted
this most important case with great
skill and ability.
Judge Ross began his opinion by first
citing the different sections of the re
vised statutes under which the seizure
was made, the libel filed and the indict
ment found. He then gave a history of
the situation of the parties and the sub
ject of the action in rem, succinctly
stated from the records, and then passed
to the merits of the separate defense, of
"tha former conviction of Young as a bar
•to the suit. Upon this point we print
'the opinion verbatim, as it decides
•some questions never before passed
upon by any judge in the United States.
It is as follows :
''To this defense the district attorney,
on behalf of the government, demurred,
and the question of its insufficiency—
accepting as true the facts alleged—is
•now for decision.
"Tbe indictment against Young was
'based on section 3451 of the revised
'Statutes, which is as follows :
"Every person who simulates or falsely
or fraudulently executes or signs any
bond, permit, entry or other document
required by the provisions of the inter
nal revenue laws, or by any regulation
made in pursuance thereof, or who
procures the same to be falsely or fraud
ulently executed, or who advises, aids
in or connives at such execution thereof,
shall be imprisoned for a term not less
than one year nor more than five years;
and the property to which such false or
fraudulent instrument relates shall be
forfeited."
"The case of the United States vs.
TlcXee, 4 Dillon, 128, was a civil action
! brought by tbe government to recover
Ihe liability denounced by section 3296
t>f the revised statutes of double the
amount of taxes of which the United
States had been defrauded by tbe unlaw
ful removal of whiskey from the distil
leries of various persons, in which re
movals it was charged the defendant
aided and abetted.
"The defendant interposed two de
*?©nccs»
1. That he had been theretofore in
'-didtW. convicted and punished for the
Barne offences.
2. That for those offences he had
been pardoned by the president. To
that answer the government demurred.
Mr. Justice Miller, with whom con
curred Judge Dillon, in overruling the
demurrer held, that if the specific acts
of removal on which the civil suit was
brought were the same which were
proved in the indictment, the former
conviction and judgment constituted a
bar in the civil suit, on the ground that
our laws forbid that any one shall be
twice punished for the same crime or
misdemeanor. That case was cited with
Apparent approval by the supreme court
in Coffey vs. United States, 116 U. 8.
446. The circumstance that the civil
unit was under one section of the re
vised statutes and the criminal prosecu
tion under another was not considered
„ affect the question, nor is any reason
'perceived why it should. The decision
■wm based upon the averments that both
proceedings were for the same acts or
(transactions. If the government can
not be permitted to maintain a civil ac
tion for the iecovery of money denounced
aye a penalty for a violation of cne
of the suctions of the statute where the
same party had been previously prose
cuted and convicted and punished for
the same acts or transactions under an
other section, it would seem, for the
-flame reasons, to follow necessarily that
•the government cannot be permitted to
'maintain a civil action for the forfeiture

or transactions for which it has pre
viously prosecuted, convicted and pun

ished him. It is true that in the present
case, Yonng, the person heretotore iu
dicted, convicted and punished under
section 3451 of the revised statutes, is
not a claimant and that the claimants,
Wolters, Helm, Austin and Kauffman,
allege in their original answer that they
acquired by purchase at a public sale,
made by the assignee of the Fruitvale
Wine and Fruit company, on the 9th
day of June, 1889, all of the property in
question then in existence, and have
since owned the sanie.together with that
subsequently added. But it must be re
membered that the pleadings show that
the alleged fraudulent acts of the com
mission and omission upon which the
government's right to a decree of for
feiture is based, occurred in the year
1887, and that it is the established doc
trine of the supreme court that the for
feiture took effect immediately upon the
commission of the acts denounced by
the statute. (United States v. Stowell,
133 U. S. p. 1.) "The right to the
property then vest in the United
States," said the court, "although their
title is not perfected until judicial
condemnation; the forfeiture "consti
tutes a statutory transfer of the right to
the United States at the time the offence
is committed; and the condemnation,
when obtained,relates back to that time,
and avoids all intermediate sales and
'> alienations, even to purchasers in good
faith." The purchase made by Wolters,
Helm, Austin & Kauffman at the sale
made in June, 1888, by the assignee of
the Fruitvale Wine and Fruit company,
was therefore void as against the gov
ernment, even if they could be regarded
as purchasers iv good faith. But that
they cannot be so regarded is plain
for the reason, among others, that each
of them was an owner of stock in that
corporation and therefore interested in
the property at the time of the perpe
tration of the frauds. The sale being
void as respects the government for one
purpose is void as to all, and the rights
of the government are to be determined
as though it had never occurred.
The right which the government, by
this suit, asks the court to enforce is
the right which vested in it in 1887 to
take the property as forfeited by the
fraudulent acts oh the part of the Fruit
vale Wine and Fruit company (U. S. v.
Stowell. supra). When that right ac
crued Young, as an owner of stock in
that corporation, had anj interest in
every part and parcel of the property of
the company. The government had
the right to proceed by civil action to
enforce the forfeiture of the property
because of the frauds, or to prosecute
the parties engaged in it criminally;
but for the same acts it could not do
both, according to the ruling in the
cases to which reference has been made.
It does not seem to me to be material
that Young does not here appear as a
claimant. If the facts be as alleged—and
upon the demurrer they are to be taken
as true —the government indicted, con
victed and punished him for certain
frauds committed in relation to the prop
erty in question, and for the same fraud
ulent acts and omissions that were in
troduced in proof in support of that in
dictment it asks the court in the present
suit to decree a forfeiture of the prop
erty, the right to which accrued to the
government, as has been seen, at the
time of the commission of the frauds,
and when Young, as a stockholder in the
corporation, was interested in every part
and parcel of the property. To take the
property in which he has an interest is
to take his property ; and, for the same
acts and omissions, to punish him crim
inally and also take his property, is. for
the same offences, to punish him twice.
The circumstance that Wolters, Helm,
Austin and Kauffman have not been
prosecuted for the fraudulent acts and
omissions that are made the basis of
the present action does not relieve the
government's case of the difficulty. To
take the property from one stockholder
is to take it from all, and I can see no
valid reason why the plea in bar of the
action may not be interposed by anyone
interested in the property. Indeed, ac
cording to the admiralty practice, by
which this proceeding is governed, the
court protects and holds the property
for the true owner, whoever he may be.
(Conkling's Admiralty Practice, Vol. 2,
p. 54.) Demurrer overruled.

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
His Sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham Lin
coln during the later years of his life,
were greatly impressed with the expres
sion of profound melancholy his face
always wore in repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of a peculiarly sympa
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics influenced, very happily,
as it proved, his entire political career.
They would not seem, at first glance, to
be efficient aids to political success; but
in the peculiar emergency which Lincoln,
in the providence of God, was called to
meet, no vessel of common clay could
possibly have become the •'chosen of the
Lord."
Those acquainted with him from boy
hood knew that early grief tinged his
whole life with sadness. His partner in
the grocery business at Salem, was
"Uncle" Billy Green, of Tallula, 111.,
who used at night, when the customers
were few, to hold the grammar while
Lincoln recited his lessons.
It was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln
told the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge; and he, in return, offered
what comfort he could when poor Ann
died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly
broke.
"After Ann died," says "Uncle" Billy,
"on etormy nights, when the wind blew
the rain against the roof, Abe would set
thar in the grocery, his elbows on his
knees, his face in his hands, and the
tears runnin' through his fingers. I
hated to see him feel bad, an' I'd say,
'Abe don't cry'; an' he'd look up an'
say, 'I can't help it, Bill, the rain's a
fallin' on her.'"
There are many who can sympathize
with this overpowering grief, as they
think of a lost loved one, when "the
rain's a fallin' on her." What adds
poignancy to the grief sometimes is the
thought that the lost one might have
been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William John
son, of Corona, L. 1., a builder, who
writes June 28,1890: "Last February,
on returning from church one night, my
daughter complained of having a pain
in her ankle. The pain gradually ex
tended until her entire limb was swollen
and very painful to the touch. We called
a physician, who after careful examina
tion, pronounced it disease of the kid
neys of long standing. All we could do
did not seem to benefit her until we
tried Warner's Safe Cure; from the
first she commenced to improve. When
she commenced taking it she could not
turn over in bed, and could just move
her hands a little, but today she is as
well as she ever was. I believe I owe
the recovery of my daughter to its use."
