GIVEN ONE YEAR
Case Has Cost the Government
$50,000 Before the Court
Eighteen Weeks
(.ieorgc (Irahaiu Hice, who has
been on trial in Nnw York with
13. li. Sheftels for swindling lias
pleaded guilty and been senIen
eed to one year in the penilen
tiary. In Sheftels ease the sen
tence was suspended.
Hice and hi.s associates eleaned
up millions of dollars in the min
ing stock business and he was
only induced to enter the plea of
guilty when his money was all
pine. He was (riven the* promise
that he would be leniently dealt
willi and thai the indictments
against his associates would be
dismissed.
The trial occupied the atten
tion of Judge Hay's court for
more than 18 weeks and has cost
the government, more than $50,
<100. In addition to the loss to
the government it has cost I lie
witnesses as much more. Many
prominent mining engineers have
been detained for weeks and were
paid only $2.50 per day foe wit
ness fees. Highly witnesses were
subpoenaed for the defense.
At I lie conclusion of the trial
Hice issued this statement:
"II. II. Sclieftels it (In. did
nothing except what is ami has
been commonly practiced in Wall
street by the most reputable
Stuck Hxchaugc houses. 1 know
the methods were fair and hon
est, as measured by the best

ever, committed the unspeakable
and never-forgotten crime of at
tacking without fear powerful in
terests in the mining securities
markets, and I hey have broken
us on the wheel.
"I pleaded guilty only when all
111y resources and those of my
friends had been exhausted. 1
was np against it. The govern
ment has more money than il
knows what to do with, and I was
down |o my last cent."
