German Understanding of "Receive

A few days ago a case was I'm one Of
the courts that involved receiver FOR
a building association. The plaintiff was
a highly respected German who knew
what ne wanted. but in some manner the
attorney had not taken the steps that
his client desired When the plaintiff
was on the stand his attorney examined
him at length. During the examination
the old gentleman became excited and an
swered the questions in such a way that
the Judge was under the impression that
die didn't thoroughly understand the
questions an answers. He declared that
he didn't want a receiver, that ne didn't
want his attorney TO take the step, and
that an he wanted was his money.
At this point the Judge suggested that
the CIVrt interpreter be sent for, that
the German might make himself more
clearly understood. But he declared that
he understood what be wanted. and that
was his money. and If he failed TO get
IL he would kill himself
To ascertain II be knew what he want

DO you know what a receiver is?"
Yes, sir. / do. sir said the honest
German. He vos der man vot gifts der

This convinced the Judge that the
plaintiff knew quite well what he want

the time being at least
