and L. D. Turner of Belleville returned
from Washington. where they took deposit
lions In suit which ]. Edward Thomas
has brought against the First National
Bank Of Belleyille to compel the bank to
pay to him 81, 400. the face value of a certi-
lied check held by him. and which was
given TO him by James +. Wassel of Belle
nnle. who at the time was employed in the
government Printing Office in Washington.
According to Wassel and the attorneys.
Ihomas was an agent fer Ryan at Wash
!nSton. Wassel had placed enough money
into the concern to realize 500 a week in
come. and he decided to put the rest of his
money, amounting to S1,4G0. into the concern.
He gave to Mr.. Thomas certified check
FOR this amount. but the check was not
eashed for several days. In the meantime
ar. Wassel heard the rumors of the i'm
pending collapse of the Ryan concern. and
ne telegraphed the bank at Belleville to
stop payment: and also made demand on
Ihomas for the return OF his check.
THOMAS refused to return the check, and
face value.
Mr.. Wassel asserts that Thomas was the
agent for q gambling concern. and that.
therefore. the transaction was invalid. The
case Will come up at the next term Of court.
