When Charges of usury
Are Proven
ATTORNEY HUNT IN RAGE
Warmly Accuses Prosecutor of
Falsehood-Court De-
tends Shepherd

The maximum sentence OF a hne o.
500 was imposed on the loan agents
convicted In Justice Stems court
Tuesday. for having charged an ille
gal rate OF interest, according 10 the
Copley law of 1911, under which the
prosecution was made. Three of the
defendants, John j. Murphy, OF the
Fidelity Loan Co.; Gordon w. Quider
OF the American Loan Co.. and Her
man J. Schiiawske, OF the Globe Loan
Co., were convicted on two counts
and were assessed $500 each. Others
convicted and fined were: John A
Noelke, of the State Loan Co.; vii
liam Bray. OF the American Loan Co.
William Eubank, or the Reliance
Loan Co., and Ralph Frazier, OF the
State Loan Co.
Ormond r. Hunt, former proseeut-
ing attorney, who appeared for the
defendants, filed notice OF appeal and
gave a bond OF $500 In each case for
a stay OF execution of sentence pend
ing the review OF the testimony and
the passing on the eonstitutionality OF
the law by the recorders court. Mr.
Hunt previously asked the court to
make the sentences only nominal. In
asmuch as the defendants had not
wilfully offended, as he had advised
them that he didn't think the law
constitutional.
The prosecutor vigorously opposed
any such clemency. declaring that the
defendants should have complied with
vice.

Mr.. Hunts opinion, and didn't think
that he had advised his clients to
charge interest OF 100 TO 25e per ceat.
The TWO cases against A. Jackson
we're continued until next Tuesday,
as John B. Mcclure, the complaining
witness. failed TO appear. and the
same disposition was made in the
ease against Theodore II. Perry, Of
the Mutual Credit Co.. whose hearing
was conducted in part and then ad-
journed on account of the absence Of
witnesses.
Prosecutor Shepherd dropped the
proceedings against Carl r. Marsh, OF
the Detroit Mortgage Loan Co. who
was charged on two counts OF having
made illegal charges OF % cents ami
81 In connection with loans. The
smaller sum for work as notary. Mr..
Shepherd eontended that both
charges were illegal, but asked that
the cases be quashed. as the Detroit
Mortgage Loan Co: is now living up
to the law.
Mr.. Shepherd asked Mr.. Hunt II he
had any objection to the quashing OF
the cases, and the question brought
forth some criticism or the prosecut.
or's campaign, Sir. Hunt charging the
prosecutor with protecting the Provi-
dent Loan Co. Mr.. Hunt commended
that the Proyident company had re-
peatedly violated the law. but had
escaped prosecution.
The prosecutor retorted that be
was giving no one protection; that he
was trying TO enforce the law.
To this statement Mr.. Hunt replied
that II was falsehood, and added
that the prosecutor knew II.
Mr.. Shepherd answered that there
was no partiality on bis part and said
he would gladly proceed against the
Proyident company, should occasion
require Ii.
Justice Stein supported the prose
cutor, declaring that he believed he
was doing his duty In the matter.
