The sum of s2.193.33. with interest from
December %. 1910. will have to be paid
TO the receivers OF the defunct Virginia
Safe Deposit and Trust Corporation, this
being the amount alleged to have been on
deposit in the Lovingston branch of that
concern in Nelson county in the name OF
Mrs. +. II. Kidd. which is alleged to have
been withdrawn following the appoint
mept OF receivers
The foregoing decision was announced
by Judge l.. c. Barley in the corporation
court today, who sustained the rule issued
IN the case.
shortly after the money is alleged to
have been withdrawn suit was instituted
for its recovery by the receivers of the
Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust Corpora
ton, and only few days ago Judge Bar
ley heard arguments on the rules issued
against the parties involved TO show cause
why they should not be fined for con-
tempt for their failure to refund the
money.
The arguments were long and drawn
out, many points of law in the case be-
ing brought to the attention of the court.
The court took the matter under con-
sideraton and announced its decision
this morning.
In the bill filed in the corporation court
June 10 last it WAS alleged that Mrs. F.
II. Kidd. through her husband, h. l..
Kidd. after the appointment of the re-
ceivers for the Virginia Safe Deposit and
Trust Corporation, procured from r. Lee
Camden, manager of the Lovingston
name of Mrs. F. II. Kidd amounting to
the sum stated above, and 1t was further
alleged that the parties knew at the
time that receivers had been appointed
Dog Catcher ON Job.
The days Of the Alexandria unlicensed
logs are numbered, for the dog wagon,
under the supervision of the police de-
partment, started out this morning on its
annual rounds. The dog catcher did not
make his start until about noon and in
less than two hours half a dozen I'm
licensed dogs had been captured and
placed in the screened wagon. and were
subsequently taken to the city pound, in
the rear of the city jail. The dogs. it is
said, will be dispatched with gas at the
city gas works.
The wagon will be kept on the streets
for the remainder of the week.
1t Is not improbable that it may be sent
out at night, inaSmuch as complaint is
made that the CANNES cause more trouble
at this time than any other, and because
there are more on the streets then than
any other time.
