POT OF COLD
SUIT LOST BY
old SOLDIER
Jury Turns Down Plea of
Civil War Veteran for
$4,000 Treasure.

By Times Special
BOONVILLE. Ind, March 49,
Thomas White, 86-year-old Civil
war veteran, who was with Sher-
man on the famous march from
Atlanta to the sea- has lost his
battle for a s21 1000 pot OF gold'
supposed to have been buried by
his mother, Mrs. Sarah White,
forty-two years ago.
A jury in Warrick circuit court.
where suit filed by White this
week, found for defendants after
ten minutes elaboration Friday
night.
Defendants were Owen Fitzgerald,
Quill White, Lee Raney and the
estate of Frank Raney.
White contended that the gold
had been dug up by defendants
and that he had not been given a
share as an heir of his mothers
estate.
Denying they had found any
money, defendants asserted Whites
theory of a pot of gold" was fc-
ton.
In support of his suit, White
offered evidence that his mother
had a fear of banks, and would bury
even comparatively small sums of
money. He said the $4,000 sup
posed to have been in the buried
pot was money received from sale
of a farm which had been part of
his fathers estate.
The suit originally was filed in
Pike county and was brought here
for trial on a change of venue.

The Morris company had mo-
ton asking that restraining order
obtained by Walls hating further
deduction from his wages be dis
solved. Wall had a motion to va
cate the judgment, paving the way
for restoration Of the money paid
in. thus far.
L. Roy Zass, the Morris COM
pany attorney, asserted Walls was
not entitled to relief by a restrain
ing order, because he had delayed
action too long. ZaSs pointed out
that the execution order was issued
six months ago.
UNFOLDING legality of the restrain
ing order. Thomas McNulty, coun-
sci for Walls, declared it was is
sued for the purpose of preventing
action under an invalid law.
After taking ruling under adj
visement. the judges asked counsel
to submit a brief of authorities
upon which they rely. No an
nouncement was made as to when
a ruling will be made.
If Walls wins, it is believed or
ders to vacate judgments in about
200 garnishee cases, involving
$4,000 or more, will be sought.
