Ousiow County Furnishes a New
Question as to Bankruptcy In
Case of John L. Jamt i.
) Washington, Autf. 29. F ora the
swamps of Onslow count, Nor h Caro
lina, ha i come forth a leal pro il 'in for
tha United Stater Suprerna ( ourt to
pass up m when it ewvene? in Oclo'ier
hat may affect bankrupts in V.I parts
of th country fur years : eoHM-.
Sh' ra of legal phraseology, tho uestion
is, "When is a thing concealed " . ,'.
John L. James was a storek. eper in
Onslow County previous to lebrua'y
23, 19 8. when a petition of inv 'untary
bankruptcy wssfi ed against hin . Noih
ing unu-ual devt loped ui.til Jai tea ask
ed for his discharge from banl rupicy.
Just four months and three da : before
the bankruptcy petition was lied a
KDinst him, he had been eharg i with
hiding in a swamD in Onslow County
five caddies. of tobacco, one casi of gun.
shells, tsTo trunks of shots an 1 some
dry goods, with intent to detr ud his
creditors. .
The law would not grant his di charge
if at any time subsequent to t e first
dny of the four months, imrf diately
preceeding the filing of the pet'tion,r.e
had "concealed" any of bis property
with fraudulent intent toward his
crelitors.
The Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit decided that a though
the goods were placed in the swamp
three days more than four mont is be
fore the' prescribed time, theie.waa
"continuous concealig" because without
further action by James, the offense re
peated itself every day until he Jisclos
ed the hiding place, which was ellegsd
to have been January 5, 1908.
It is said the Supreme Court never
has passed on the question of v. hetner
there is such " an off-nse wiih n the
meaning of the bankruptcy law i, as a
"continuous concealing." For this rea--on
the court was asked tj pass upon
t ie point. Decisions as ' to whe ier ic
ill rev ev the Case is expected 0. to
