Washington street, who is ever ready
fo hgiit real hard and long n the
interest Of his many clients and after

headway with Judge Moran. Mrs.
Carter also lost possession of the
building through Messrs. Adams and
Bates.

Messrs. Adams and Bates had gotten
Mrs. Garter into, started right in and

able lawyers sha never expected that
he would be able to stand up and BIT

single handed and alone, neither did
she expect that he would recover every \

So. It was a wonderful surprise TO I
her last Monday when her phone rang
and Mr. Williams on the other end Of
the wire informed her to call At his I
law Offices either that afternoon or on
Tuesday morning and receive her
check calling for fourteen hundred /
dollars. Mrs. Carter @did not and I
