THERESA WAS
IN ANGRY MOOD
Judge Lindsay Decides Against
Her in Dickey Versus
Cummings.

4
the Court This is an example of thu
| way she is trying to kill time Az
moved by counsel I will sign a decree
stating that Mrs. Wilcox has no title
| in the property, either in law or ii
equity
Thus did Judge Lindsay squelch Mrs
Theresa Wilcox, who has been appear
| ing before him for the past two weeks
in the role of Portia to bolster up a
deed, the signatures on which the court
has decided are not valid. The fail
petitioner demonstrated. She had lots
| more witnesses to call on. Jack Lu-
cas- would bear out her contentious
and there were at least three members
of the Legislature who knew all abou,
her case. But she could not persuade
the Judge that the evidence Of any OF
them would be admissible and she
f1ounced back from the attorneys table
to bench and poured forth Ter griev.
ances in an angry monotone.
The case was the celebrated one OF
Dickey VS.. Cummings, partition suit
over property belonging to the Cum
ted one and the end is not yet in sight.

ants, had been disposed of, S. c.

was examined yesterday.
During a recess of the court Mrs
Wilcox debated her case with Lyle A.
Dickey, concluding with the threat OF
taking the matter up before a jury,
where she could get the brand of JUS
tice she expected.
