Paid for His House with Worthless Bond,


WASHINGTON CITY, Dec GA year or
more ago Judge Thoman, Of Ohio, then q
civil service commissioner, purchased a resi-
dence in the northwestern part of the city
from Alfred Richards and gave in payment
therefore $4,000 worth Of Indiana school
bonds, which the seller accepted upon the
certificate of Senator VOORHEES, and the late
Vice President Hendricks The bonds turn
out to have been fraudulent, and Richards
has since been trying to induce Thoman to
take them off his hands. The latter refuse
on ground that he bought them in good faith
! and that they were vouched for by Hem
bricks and VOORHEES,. Now Richards brings
suit against Thoman and voorhees, to re-
cover the value of the property, and discov-
ers that as soon as the former learned that
the bonds were worthless he mortgaged the
property to a relative for its full value.
