More than two weeks ago Judge Ames j. -is warned that the lawyers and their . . -; ociates in the) h.ak schema would, .irough pre-arraiigciuent, set up the j iilibi' pita that they had "deduced" the :cisions in the case of "trouble" with : he federal authorities. That is preiely what happt-neri, but the wily "inide information" speculators had overlooked several important points in their . furies. Judge Ames seized upon these acts and as a result the plausible ' heory of "guessing" has beta discounted by the government. SAHAQIKa EVIDENCE. Judge Ames is in possession of evidence which definitely connects a miftor ttache of the court with one of the lawyers in the caaa and which shows !'nat two men concerned with a specufa ion in Southern Faciila stock on Nov. 17, ono of them selling the stock short .it a Wall St. brokerage shop and making a. profit of 11,500 on a small investment. This was the day that the supreme court banded down Its decision in the Southern Pacific oil lands case. The stock broke in price on that information. i-LYNN IN NEW YOEK. Chief Win. J.
