JUSTICE FREEDMAN SAYS He MUST TAKE AN

Charles S. Polly, a lawyer. was employed by
Mrs Henrietta Gautier to sue her husband, An

savings banks in this city. They became recon-
ciled and. Polly alleges, agreed to pay him for
his services. Instead of doing so they consulted
H. A. Vieu. lawyer. and brought suit to set
aside the attachment Polly had placed on the
se00 for Mrs Gautier, on the ground that her
sureties were worthless.
Polly opposed this application. and asked that
Gautier be compelled to pay him his fee. If this
were done he would. he said, be satisfied to dis
continue the action. Gautier made an affidavit in
which he denied Pohlys allegations. and said the
action was brought for the purpose of blackmail-
ing him. He alleged that one of the sureties on
Mrs. Gautiers undertaking was clerk in Pohly's
Office, with small salary. Justice Freedman va
Gated the attachment. and informed Polly that
he must adopt some other plan to recover his fee.
