the man removed to Solvay hospital,
whero he died shortly afterward. The

Made by Prisoner

Circuit Judges Sit En- Banc on
Motion of Man Accused
of Larceny

An official attack on the constitu-
tionauty OF Judge Gainey's court was
filed, Wednesday morning, when
George Thomas through his attorney,
Proctor X. Owens filed writ OF
habeas corpus requesting the circuit
courts TO order Sheriff Milton Oakman
to release Thomas, who is being held

ceny.
The petition declares that the court
is unconstitutional in that 1t was ere
ated under the same law that made
possible the court Of domestic rela-
tions afterward declared invalid by
the supreme court.
The petition further asserts that
the mayor had no right to make the
appointment under the law, and that
the court question had no authority
to commit Thomas TO the county jail.
Judges Hosmer, Van Zile and Man
dell sat en- banc on the case, We'd
nesday afternoon.
Justice Gainey will appear to de-
fend his Job against the frequent at
tacks made upon IL OF late, by lawyers
who allege that his court Is In the
same class as that OF the late domes-
tic relations court, declared unconsti-
tutional, and abolished.
The question was brought up unoffi-
cially In Judge Connolly's court, In
connection with recent case. Judge
Connolly refused to recognize the ap-
peal for a dismissal of the case, de-
claring that the matter was not prop
erly brought up, but should have been
preached when the prisoner appeared
In police court.
Justice Gainey has retained Attor.
ney Fred A. Baker. who put the do
nestle relations court out of busi-
ness, and who holds that Justice
Gainey's court is thoroughly puncture

sewer and public buildings bonds
from the city treasurer, taking all the
available city bonds of his hands. Ac-
cordIng 70 the controller, Detroit Is
the first city In the country to sell
four per cent bonds in almost two
years.
Recently the controller sold $S,SOO.-
600 worth OF city bonds through an
agent. This method Of sale, MADE
necessary by the condition OF the
bond market, cost the city about $sO,-
900. Judging from the eagerness OF
local banks to buy city four per cent
bonds now, II will not be necessary
again TO seek outside purchasers TO
take bonds at an advanced rate OF
interest.
AT the present time the city has
no bonds for sale" said Controller
Engel. I'VE have disposed OF all our
bonds and the new issues will not be
