Trust Company Loses in Superior
Court, but Will Garry the
Case Higher,

Judge John T. Pendleton, of the
Superior Court, ordered a receiver
appointed for the Guarantee Bank
and Trust Company Wednesday aft
ernoon. Before this action was taken
attorneys for both sides had agreed
to draw up a supersedeas order car
rying the celebrated case to the Su-

Pending action by the Supreme
Court, Judge Pendleton ordered that
the case remain in statue quo.
Following the Superior Court de-

case will be returned to him for ap-
pointment of a receiver for the Trust
Company If the Superior Court de-
cision, however, is overruled, the

Rush Plans.


Plans are being rushed to stage the
trial. On account of the poor ven
tilation Of the court room and the
absence Of ante rooms to accommo-
date the scores of witnesses who will
in all probability be sequestered, the
court in the Thrower Building has
been adjudged inadequate by Judge
L. S. Roam and Solicitor General
Hugh NJ. Dorsey.
Before leaving for New York he
instructed his deputy to discuss with
Judge Roam some new place to hold
the trial where the large crowd could
be accommodated and the heat would
not be so excessive. The county board
will be called upon to furnish a place
and Mr. Dorsey will approve the Sc
lection when he returns from New
York Saturday
All plans for the trial will be COM
pleted before Saturday and the great
er number of witnesses summoned.
The week before June 30 the Superior
Court officers viii be busy with a mass
of unimportant criminal cases. They

Judge Thomas has presided at sew

which there was considerable local
feeling, one OF the most notable being
the jail bond case. Judge l.. S. Roam
