took up his assignment for the day at

cree should be issued without further
delay.
MADISON CASE.
The divorce petition, of Mary Alice
Madison VS.. Louis Madison, was up for
adjustment. w. ]. Piero represented
the plaintiff. This was case in which
the wife went to Indiana and had her
husband arrested for violation of the
seventh commandment after which she

TO REFORM A DEED.
Judge Frease appeared before the
court in the matter of the petition Of
the administrator of Elizabeth Burro-

reformation of a deed. There was no
opposition and Judge McCarty ordered
the deed corrected and the property
sold to pay the claims against the es-
tate.
\ The court then took UP the trial Of
the case Of the George d. Harter bank
VS.. Anthony and Mary Piero ct al. The
defendants owed the bank $500. They
owned a good property on North Cleve-
land avenue at the time the money
was borrowed but afterward this wa,
transferred to a daughter, Bessie Piero
The bank claims it was done to defeat
the collection of their claim. The de-
fense says it was done simply because
the property was encountered by a
mortgage which was threatening fore
closure and to secure a homestead to
Mrs. Piero. Attorney Charles Krich-
baum is pressing the suit for the plain
tiff and asking that the transfer be set
aside so the bank can collect its claim.
Judge Thayer and w. j. Piero repre-
sent the defense.
