BRUNSWICK. GA. TUESDAY MORNING. .TUNE 25. 1901. This interest has exirt-d also to a minor degree, mixed with curioei'y in the oourae to be punu-d with reference to the indictments found by the last grand jury sgrioat Dr. J, M. Malden of Brunswick, and Mr. A H. Dare, of Valdosta, who were President and Vioe President of tbe defunct Mer chants and Traders Bank of Biunawlok ; the indictments being found in connec tion with certain transactions of this insolvent banking institution. In both of these laat oases, tbe 8 dioiror Gener al stated that he was unwilling to con dnot the pnsscuticn, thinking that it was unwarranted, and tbe const grant ei an order entering a nolle prosequi yiue a uuiuuer in visruug atuirneyß were on haLd for Ilia occasion, inolud ing: Cjl P. W. Middiiin, of S-vnn nah, who appears with the iolimtor General in the Beachca e for the a ate, and Col. W. M Toamer, of Wayoross, of oounoel for Mr. Bsaoh, Judge S, H, Atkinson, of Atlanta, Mr, E P. 8. Denmark.of Vaidoßta, Mr. Emile New man, of Savannah, and others. The first care called was that of Mr. Jacob L Beaob, okarged with ihe em bezz'ameut of oeitni'i bonds and oou pons from Glynn county. Owing to a defect in the indiitment, A'torney Meldrim, who was representing the county, stated that be would ask the court to nolle proß qui the oase. Tbo defeot in the indictment was oaused by the nee of wrong numbers, thst Is, the lndiotment charged Mr, Beach wiib the embfzz'ement of bonds and coupons of oertain numbers, which numbers were wrong. Attorney Mel drim wse positive that from a legal standpoint’ the indictment would not hold good, therefore asked that the oase be nolle prosequi. Attorney W. M.Toomer, who represented Mr. Beaoh made strong objections to the oase tak ing tbss course, bnt Judge Beabrook promptly signed tbs order wbon it was presented by Attorney Meldrim. INTERESTING CASES Disposed of AT YESTEDAVS SESSION Cases Against Messrs. Lane, Beach and Madden Nolle Prosequi. Olynn Superior Court, Judge Paul E. Beahrook, of the A'laotio Circuit, presiding, onnvemd jester'ay for tbe trial of certain disqualified criminal business of Judge Joseph W. Ber.net. There has beer, great publio interest ■ n this session of the court as it P un* f*v. derstood that, it we-foinvened more especially for tbe tr a! of the Indict ments found against. J. L Heaoti and H. H. Harvey for embezzlement. Mr. Beacb wai formerly oenneoted with the Board of Ccnnty Commissioners and afterwards Prison Commissioner of tbe State; and Mr. Harvey was formerly Treasurer of the City of Brunswiik, Bo far as this oase against Mr, Beach is concerned, a re-indiotmont Is neces sary before the case can continue. This however was done, and the grand jury winch was in session at the time the oase was disposed off, promptly re indicted Mr, Beaob and very likely the oase will again come up today. The court then called the oase of the State vs A, H. Lane, ohargrd la the lndiotment with transferring the efs feots of the bauk of which he waa Vioe President after the insolvency of the hank. The Solicitor General sta’ed to the oourt that he was unwilling to prose uute the case and asked that a nolle prosequi be entered. He said that some five or six years ago, shortly af ter the inso'.venoy of the bank, Mr. Lane and kia people had offered to pay and bad paid to the receiver of the bank some SIB,OOO. not only all that he was legally liable for, but all that he could in any view he held mt rally boned to pay, in a full scMlem 'nt with the bank, under constntiu wiitiogof all parties at interest either as oreui tors or stockholders; that at that time both he and the thee judge of tbe stipe nor oonrt, and tlip grand jury at that time in session, had made a thorough Investigation of tbe matter, which i.- vcstigatiou l ad satisfied them that Mr. Lane bad been guilty of no crime of aoy character, but bad displayed bad business judgment, and that after tbe investigation and settlement a deoree bad been entered by the court in rhe eqoitable prooeenings to wind up tho affairs of the bank, absolving Mr. Lane of any liability of any character, e tber oivil ororimlnal, upon payment of the amount stated. Tim Snioitor General stated that be bad advised the last grand jury, who found ;tbe bill of in diotment, that in his opinion no crime was involved In the matter and that Mr. Lane had made tbe fittest legal and moral reparation for wbatevor mistake he bad made, bat they had seen fit anyway to Had a bill or indictment and since that time he had made no sec ret of the fact that if thoee interested in the bans should tee tit to employ oounsel to proaeoute the case be. would havei nj objection, but that failing this e afiV Ih. fl.ulpl In .rant u tu.Ha prosequi. Hon. W. G. Brantley, of counsel for Mr Lane, supplementing Uih remarkß of the Solicitor Urneral, ntHled that it nolle prosequi ought to be entered, first,' e atiße there wan noornne known to the law obarged In the indictment, and second, heoause the facta aiul oil cuinst&Doea of the oar o showed that no orime waa committed. M Brantley then read to the court tbs decree in the Merohanti and Traera Bank litl Ration referred to by the Solioitor Gen eral and alio read the petition upon whioh it was based. This petition was an intervention filed by Mr. K Y. I.ane, the father of Mr, A. H. Lane, ■rating that hia eon wib insolvent, bur that he himself stood ready to pay all amounts for whioh A. H Line could ba held even morally liable. Petition was magnificent in its portrayal of the protecting oare of a father for his son joined with the s era justice and up nghtneiß eo eloquently ond simply an nounoed. Judge 8 C. Atkinson, who was at the time of oounsel fur the Keoeiver of the bank, and Mr. W. E. Kay, whore * presented the oreditors of the bank, both stated to the court that the whole transaction had taken piaoe with the fhlest koowlsdge of all ootioo ned, after various conferences, and after a fu'l invest ig*lion of all matters had satiefi and them not only that there was no mime invuled but that, iu faot, there was grave question whether Mr. A. H Lane oould be held legally liable for any of the ainont* offered to he paid by his lather. Mr. R. Y.Lane, and furth er announc' and that it appeared to them that if it was the hopse of public jus tioe being vindicated, it had made its sppearanoe rather late, and that it had been a great surprise to them, knowing the facts aa they did, when they heard that an indictment had been found by the grand jury. Judge Heabrook, in granting the order allowing the nolle prosequi, and atating that be thought this an emin ently proper case for such action, stated also that of course no reflection wss intended upon the grand jury who '(mod the bill of iopiotmeot, beo&uso a grand jury’s inveetigasion was always necessarily to a great extent ax parts, they hearing only one side of tho mil ter, Tbe court closed his remarks by saying of tbe petition of Mr R Y. Lane : ••That peiition is ami at touch ing and powerful example of paternal love, and ought lo stand as a monument to that era’d old roan, * I know he must be ” Tne case against Dr, J. M. Maddeu lnvolvrd in the (aim transactions as the case against Mr. A. H. Lane, and the circumstances surrounding it ap peered to be largely tbe same, it ap peared also that Dr. Maddeu had had a full settlement with the Receiver of the Back. So the court, on tho mo Mon of the Solioitor General, ordered a nolle prosequi bo also entered in that case, Mr. A. H. Lane was represented in the matter by Messrs. W. G. Braetley, W.E Kay and P. R. Twitty; and Dr. J. M, Madden was represented by Messrs. W. G. Brantley and W. E. Kay. At the Oglethorpe. Among the arrivals at the Ogle thorpe yesterday were: John W. Bennett, Wayeroae, P. Kirk. N.
