Some time ago the HERALD mentioned
little transaction between prominent
attorney and an ex-county clerk, both
OF this city. The trial brought out the
facts in the case, which are as follows:
During boom days Julia A. Foster sold
piece of property to J. d. BARLEY at
price far above what it was worth. The
last pay ment of $400 was not made, and
in course OF time Mrs. Foster brought
suit to recover. During the proceedings
Judge Towner made an interlocutory de-
cree, and this order was claimed by
Major McKelvy, Mrs. Fosters attorney,
as a money judgment, while the judge
did not intend it to be anything of the
kind.
On the representation OF McKelvy and
the pledge OF Mrs. Foster To stand be-
Mr. nh toxx thn,~ ,k..
clerk, and any lose to him, the clerk
iseued the execution for the money.
BARLEY paid the money, but not within
the time specified by the decree, and
judgment Of foreclosure was made, so
that Mrs. Foster got the money and the
land both, and wEsn she was asked to
pay back the money she said she had
spent it, and aa she had nothing the
law could touch, che quietly told them
to get it II they could, and remarked
that she was not here Tor her health.
Judgment WAS given in favor Of BARLEY
against the bondemen OF Mr.. Wickham.
Mr.. Wickham will appeal from the
judgment, and we may some time expect
to hear even more than we have about
this affair.
One OF the prominent features on our
