ALABAMA Is AFTER
EQUITABLE MONEY
SUIT FILED BY ATTORNEY-GEN-
ERAL Is DIRECTED AT GORDON
MCDONALD WITH GARNISHMENT
ON EQUITABLE POLICY.

Montgomery. July 3.-(Special) "A suit
with many interesting features has been
filed in the city court of Montgomery,
directed at Gordon Mcdonald, an attor-
ney of Montgomery. with a garnishment
against the Equitable Life Insurance
company. The state undertakes to Sc
cure from the insurance company $3.50 81,
said to be due from Mcdonald on col
lections made by the said Mcdonald in
some suit brought for the state several
years ago.
In these suits Mcdonald secured judg-
ment for the state but held that he
had a right to hold out his fees from
the amount secured, which he did. The
attorney general then contended that the
fee was excessive and that the money
, should all have been paid into court. Suit
was brought and judgment secured in
the lower court, and sustained by the
supreme court on appeal. Besides the
principal amount shown above it is
charged that there are costs of $3.50.
Mcdonald having a policy of life insur-
ance that is to mature about this time
| in the Equitable that company is garn-
sheed. The matter is regarded as pre-
senting some fine points of law. 1t was
not thought that the policy could be APP
piled to the debts of the defendant while
his wife, the beneficiary of the policy. was
alive, but she having died recently the
case was put in this shape to get at his
money if possible.
The suits were filed in the name of the
state by Attorney General Massey Will
son and Hon. Hugh Dent solicitor Of
the city court. The papers are served on
the state insurance commissioner, who is
the agent by statute of every insurance
company doing business in the state for
this DnrpOSe.
