Attaching Creditors and n Const able Have
Case In Court.
In Judge Speer's court yesterday the
damage case of c. E. Black, assignee,
against ex-Constable Griffith and his
bondsmen. was tried before a Jury.
The plaintiff was the assignee of +.
r. Black on East Park street, dealer
in fruits and confectionery. The stock
assigned was valued at about 500
Immediately after the assignment a
number of creditors brought suit
against the assignor and attached the
stock in the hands of the assignee,
alleging that the assignment was
fraudulent and made for the purpose
of defrauding creditors. Among the
attaching creditors was the ]. +. Kelly
company for $500 and stock to that
amount was taken from the assignee
and sold at constables sale. The as
signee then brought suit for the value
of the goods taken and for 800 dam
ages. At the trial Yesterday evidence
was introduced to prove the fraudulent
nature of the assignment. IL was
shown that a few days before the as
signement the Blacks transferred
81, 400 worth of Butte property to some
one in California for 81 and that the
assignee. c. z. Black. who was made
preferred creditor for 81, 200 only
claimed $500 as due him. The jury was
out but a short time and returned with
a verdict for the defendant. John N.
Kirk appeared for the plaintiffs and
John w. Cotter for the defendant.
Several other suits growing out of the
same assignments are still pending in
the court.
