Jackson, the “Petticoat King,” arrested in the State of Tabasco, Mex!70, after his spectacular posing there as an open-handed ‘millionaire, pleaded Bullty to grand larceny before Justice Seabury In the Criminal Branch, Su- preme Court, this afternoon, after ten of twelve jurymen to try him had been sccepted. It was upon Jackson's motion, put by his attorney after the tent Juryman had been chosen and there were only two more needed to fill the box, that a recess of ten minutes was granted by Justice Seabury. At the expiration of the recess Jackson withdrew the plea of not guilty and entercl the plea of Builty to the $500,000 swindle charged against him. Jackson fled after the big Jackson- Mack Co., clothing manufacturers, of Nos, 119-121 West Twenty-third street, failed for more than $1,900,000, of which $500,00 was sald to have been procured from private banks on frauduient bills of lading, It is the charge of the State that Jackson, through selling agexcies which he controlled, issued many fake invoices, upon which private bankers issued loans. A number of small pri- Yate banking houses were ruined by the collapse of the ‘Petticoat King's" busi- ness. Jackson fed to Mexico in Septem!

Then he placed the man under arrest. At first, “Thiel declared he was a German merchant and that he had never heard of the Jackson-Mack Company. Finally, however, he admitted his iden- tity and came to the United States with- out requisition, though the then Secre- tary of State, Philander Knox, tad asked that he be held as a fugitive from justice. In New Orleans, he w met by Detective Al Thomas, of the District-Attorney's staff, who brought him back to New York, Jackson, who procured the sobriquet ot "Petticoat King" because of the large business he carried on, organiacd the corporation in November, 1911, after he had been identifed with several smaller concerns. ry but ce 000 Kimonos and petticoats. >: “HARD COAL TRUST” DECISION AMENDED BY HIGHEST COURT.
