in charge of the auto. He picked up
the injured boy and took him to the

HINTS FRAME Up
IN SHERIFF SALE
Disposal of Store and Goods to
Satisfy Judgment Halted
by Injunction.

Exposing an alleged "frame-up,"
Attorney. David Booker today OBJ
tanned an injunction against Sheriff
Arthur B. Appleby, of Middlesex
county. The injunction prevents him
from selling the stock and fixtures of
Frank A. Raddin, Inc, of SO Smith
street, Perth Amboy. The injunction
was signed by Judge Haight in the
United States District Court today
At the same time he denied an appli-
cation for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Raddin firm. The ap-
plication was made by Attorney Bob
ker. The appointment of a receiver
was opposed by Elgin L. McBurney,
of New York city. He appeared in
behalf of Frank A. Raddin, who is a
partner of the Raddin firm. Berthold
We'll is the other partner.
On June %, Frank A. Rifenberg, a
painter of Perth Amboy, recovered
judgment by default from Raddin for
81 900. The judgment was based on
money Rifenberg alleged he loaned to
Raddin. The judgment was turned
over to the sheriff to satisfy. A levy
was made on the store and property
of Raddin. The judgment was not
advertised the sale of the store at
public auction.
Edward j. Ryan and Alfred H.
Wood, representing New York cred
itors of the firm, learned of the
Judgment. They retained Attorney
Booker as a local attorney to protect
their interests.
Today in open court, Attorney Bob
ker charged that Attorney McBurney
was attempting to ride two horses"
McBumey appeared for Raddin. On
June % he appeared for Rifenberg
and secured a judgment against Rad
din for 81 900 in the MiddleseX County
Court.
Attorney Booker declares that the
judgment Is a "frame-up." We'll, he
charges, is willing to have the firm
placed in the hands of a receiver.
Raddin, however, will not consent 10
an adjudication. Attorney Booker
says that it looks to him like an at
tempt is being made to freeze out
the creditors and We'll.
He points out that if the judgment
was a bona-fde one, Mr.. McBurney
| would not be representing the defend

Rifenberg, at the same time. Mr.

ing of the directors of tile Associated
Merchants Company today it was de-
cided that in view of the failure of

the State it is fully two weeks ahead
of normal growth and there is no Sec
ton where it is not as much as a
week ahead of normal. With con-
