SUGAR TRUST MADE Ai SCAPEGOAT

i
Bitter Resentment of Spitzer When 11eFiiids
Himself Sacrificed and Sent to Prison I
For a Term of Two Years t1
I
New York Feb lOThe sugar
trust made a scapegoat of me It de
serted me absolutely hounded and
ruined me after I served It faithfully
for twontynino years
Thus declared Oliver Spitzer for
mer dock superintendent of the Am
erican Sugar Refining company plant
at WIHlamsburs after he had heard
the sentence of two years in the At
lanta prison Imposed on him today
by Justice Martin Spitzer was con
victed of conspiracy to defraud by
underwelghlng sugar In broken tones
Spltxer bitterly arraigned the sugar
trust I
I started with the trust in 1S80
ho said as a boy and by Industry
worked my way step by step until
I became superintendent of docks at
WillIamsburg
It has been reported that I wan
receiving blp pay from the trueL As
a matter of fact I sot a salary of 56
a week The expenses of this trial
have cut into my savings and left me i
practically a ruined man
In tho ajlcgpd fraud prosecution
the government cried for a victim and
the sugar trust answerod by sacrific
ing me and four 10awcok checkers
None of us were guilty of any breach
of the law but somebody had to go
to prson to save those higher up
They say I had knowledge of tho
manipulation of the scales I do not
think I was in the scale house onco
during tho last fifteen years I had
no occasion to enter them As to I
the corset steel said to have been dis
covered In a hole In a set of scales
1 knew nothing about It and seeming
ly no one else except Parr who claims
to have found It later
I am going to Atlanta today be
cause I directed my counsel not 10
apply for a stay of execution I did
not want to place myself in tho same
sort of a position as Mr Morse found
himself in
I am not saying his because I an
tlclpalo that my conviction will be
upheld by Iheqourts On the icon
nary on an appeal I expect the con
viction to be reversed and a new
trial ordered

conclusion ho says from study and
observation of the financial history of
Ihe last century About onequarter of
the present period of prosperity has
gone ho says but the top of the up
ward movement has not yet been
reached
I His figures show that tho high point
pf stock exchange prices usually
I comes after about onethird to one
half of the prosperous years which
have been enjoyed
Speaking before tho West SIdo Y M

who was determined to play tho mar
ket and deslrpd to do so as safely as
poHslhlo should purchase on a xoner
OUB margin ten of tho leading stocks
When they wore high ho should sell
and put his money In tho bank When
stocks were low he could buy again
In this way said the speaker you
would not ho buying and selling a spe
cific stock but In reality soiling your
money when money wan In demand
anl selling your securitlpn when se
curities were in demand
