Az INTERESTING SNARL IN CoURT.-On
the nineteenth day of last December a
man was arrested in the First District on
Conformation received that Andrew
Richoux sold and delivered Havana lottery
tickets. The affidavit was signed by
James Lawrence. When the prisoner was
searched at the stationhouse he had 1926 in
currency. 81 in Spanish currency, q bank
check for So. another check for 500, some
lottery tickets and gold watch and chain.
Attorneys for Messr5. Mayer Brothers sued
out a writ OF fieri facias in the Fifth Dis
tri.t Court and obtained possession of the
above named articles. After time he was
released from prison on bond, and the next
day he appeared in the Municipal Court,
but the aforesaid Lawrence" did not ap-
pear, and no one answered for him. There
being no prosecution he was discharged,
and naturally applied for his effects. He
was informed that the civil sheriff had
seized them. On visiting that official it
was announced that Mayer Brothers had
occurred them in answer for a judgment they
held against Richoux. He went into court,
and on his showing an order was issued to
the sheriff to Immediately return the goods
to the owner, and the order was obeyed.
Mr.. Rlchoux has now entered suit in the
Fifth District Court, claiming damages in
$4,000 FROM Mayer Brothers for false i'm.
prisonment,
In his petition he asserts that the arrest
was a concerted plan, contrived by the
above named firm, with certain other per-
sons. Indeed, it is asserted that the deputy
sheriff took an active part in the proceed
ings: that the arrest, imprisonment and
taking OF his property was malicious, with
intent to frighten him into paying Mayer
Brothers the judgment they held against
petitioner; also, that James Lawrence" is
a myth BY some parties it is contended
that the alleged ofiense is no otfense against
our laws.
