A BLOW AT usuRY.
The New York Court Of Appeals Decides
Against Money lenders.

Albany May 6.-The court Of appeals
has given a most decided BLOW to the
business of loaning money al usuriaus
rates of interest to people who are in
need. 1t has denied an appeal from
and affirmed a judgment rendered by
the lower courts I'm favor of Mary
Braine. declaring note which she
gave TO Julie Rosswog aud chattel
mortgage TO secure II usurious and void
and directing their cancellation and
surrender Though the business was
carried on in the name Of the defendant.
the court holds. sustaining Justice Bar
rett that she and her father We're clear
~ acting in concert to evade the usury
law.
Applicants for loans were made to
sign two papers. each person achnowl-
edging that she had constituted Ross
wog. the father. her agent to procure
the loan; that she had agreed 20 pay
him S50dor his services. and that he had
no interest whatsoever n the money TO
be procured by him.
The plaintiff asserted that she never
knew she had signed any papers except
the note and mortgage. Sho went 20
these parties by seeing an advertise
ment Offering 20 loan money.
The court says that the documents
10 which Rosswog secured the plain
tiff's signature cannot avail as against
tho real facts OF the case, and that
They really strengthen The plaintiffs
case.
"They are not such documents as any
innocent broker dealing honestly would
present to q borrower They are elabo-
rate and specious, carefully drafted
and evidently printed FOR general use,
with recurring forms.
THE object was clearly 10 cover up
the real transaction and 20 estop the
victim from subsequently asserting the
usuiy But the law here admits Of no
estoppal upon the truth. That must
prevail as against all such devices to
cover up usury These documents color
the evidence Of the defendant and her
father and they lend additional force
and meaning 60 all the facts disclosed.
Parties cannot escape under such cir
cumstances as these simply by Keeping
the hand that writes the check IN the
