Adas Ikodesh TronbIes.

The trustees OF the Adds Kodesh syna-
gogue Friday prosecuted civil suit le
fore Justice Bertolette against Aaron Harris.
The synagogue is the one located IL the
second story Of the building No. 30S West
Front street. Louis Harris, son of the
defendant, was elected treasurer and the
defendant offered to become his surety In
the sum Of 5000, and to give a bond to that
amount. The bond was never made out,
but Aaron assured the trustees that his
word was as good as his bond. Last Feb
ruary the treasurer resigned and kept In his
possession S1S.93, the balance in the tIea-
sury at the time. The trustees, Morris Levy,
Solomon Grossman and Aaron Cohen, en-
deavored to get 1t in various ways and
| finally brought suit. Harry Sharpley, Esq,
appeared for them and George A. Elliott,
Esq, for the defendant. The defence set
| up was that the money had been collected
for a special purpose-the purchase Of new
scrolls (the five books of Moses, and that IL
could not beapplied Torrent. The Justice gave
| Judgment against Harris, the evidence
showing that he had become verbal surety
| for the amount. The latter will appeal
During the trial Mr.. Elliott made the point
that verbal surety Is good only for amounts
| from So to S25. The trial created much in.
terest among the congregation.
