LAWYER HARRISON
WANTS $1,000 FROM
MARY \. ATCHERLEY

Is the lawyer worthy of his hire!
And if he is, ought he not to get it2
That's what Attorney 7. NJ. Harri-
son wants to know, and to find out he
has fled suit in the circuit court against
one Mary H. Atcherley, naming j. A.
Magoon, trustee of the estate of the
said Mary II. Atcherley, ana Levers &
Cooke, as garnishees.
1t might be inferred that the lawyer
is of a peculiarly trusting anc ingen-
uous disposition, judging from the com
plant. 1t appears from the document
that Mrs. Atcherley owes Harrison $500
on promissory notes, one for $50 and
the other for $3.50. Naturally enough,
the lawyer, having advanced these sums
if he did advance them-hopes to get
them back.
Also and furthermore, Mr.. Harrison
values at an additional $500 his legal
| services at the time he was trying to
extricate DR.. John Atcherley from the
asylum, to which hard-hearted judge
and board of 1unacy commissioners had
| sent him.
| Unfortunately for the lawyer, Mrs.
| Atcherlely is bankrupt and he can
not collect from her for the simple rea-
son that she has nothing to collect. But
/ there is bankrupt estate, and it may
/ in time prove to be of value, for Mrs.
j Atcherley claims that Levers & Cooke
hold property worth several thousands
of dollars that in reality belongs to her.
Her claim is still being considered by
the courts, and if she wins there may
! be chance for Attorney Harrison to
collect his thousand. Anyway, he is
losing no chances. and has filed suit,
hoping to get a Judgment by which he
can collect if the Atcherley estate turns
out to be worth anything.
