TEST BATTLE
ON GARN|SHEE
ACT LAUNCHED
Debt Increases PerpetuaIIy
Under Verdict Given in
Richmond Case.
BROTHER SUES BROTHER
Interest More Than Annual
Payment on Judgment in
Crash Suit.
BROTHER SUES BROTHER

Constitutionality of the Indiana
garnishee law in its application to
a case in which there is such an in
cree eing debt burden that the
garnishment could not be paid, is
attacked in an appeal on file today
in the supreme court by William
L. Clendenin, Richmond attorney.
Clendenin's appeals takes no no
tice of the increasing debt load fac
tor. His suit is based on the ground
that the fourteenth amendment to
the United States Constitution for
bids passage by any state of laws
for confiscation of property without
due process.
History of the Richmond case.
first test in the highest state court
of what has been called one of the
most vicious laws on the statute
books, goes back to 1881.
Brother Sues Brother
Manuel and Charles White, bro
theirs, were in an automobile acct
dent near Winchester, with Charles
White as the driver.
Manuel, injured, sued his brother
in Wayne circuit court under the
guest law" alleging his injuries due
to the reckless driving of his brother
Manuel received a $500 Judgment
in a hearing before Circuit Judge
GuStave H. Hoelscher, but eXecu-
ton could not be made, so a gar
nishment order against Charles
salary was obtained against the city
of Richmond, his employer.
Now comes the perpetually in
creasing debt factor.
Interest Piles Up
The 10 per cent garnishment
order takes approximately $3.50
year from Charles salary The law
provides for a per cent interest
rate on unpaid judgments Six per
cent of $500 is $210 and Charles
would be reducing the Judgment at
the rate of only "180 a year.
Thus, he is falling behind $50 the
first year and slightly more each
succeeding year, as interest is re-
calculated against the $50 in addi-
ton to remainder of the unpaid
judgment.
The sum would be $3,710 at the
end of the first year, minus the Sl8O
garnishee payment, or $3.50. The
amount at the end of the second
year would be $3,741.80, minus $3.50,
or $3,56180.
Process is Perpetual
This process would be continued
indefinitely.
Clendenn's appeal on the consti-
tutionality attacks Judge HoelScher'S
denial of a motion to set aside the
garniShment.
Coming on the heels of action by
Marion county courts. the case has
aroused widespread interest among
attorneys. Municipal Judges Dan
White and Thomas E. Garvn, sitting
jointly on a test case here last week,
held the garnishee law unconstitu-
tional.
Superior Judges Russell ]. Ryan,
William A. Pickens and Clarence E.
Weir, in recent rulings, do not de-
clare the law unconstitutional, but
threw garniShee cases out of court
by sustaining plaintiff demurrers.

who runs this boarding house
where Tony used to hang out"
Other men were sent to help
him.
IN the meantime the ring ap-
Il parently had received word
that the authorities were getting
closer. A mysterious telephone
call came to the bureau: Keep
out of Brooklyn, or you'll be
sorry" The caller hung up be-
fore he could be traced.
Late at night T-3 received
word that the plant" on Bedford
avenue, Brooklyn, was complete.
Operatives disguised as grocers,
street Sweepers and painters had
the block under surveillance. At
midnight Mrs. Woods entered and
T-3 gave orders for the raid.
A heavy door blocked them a
few moments. When they got
inside they found Mrs. Woods and
two men. But the evidence, if
there had been any, was gone!
T-3 personally searched the
house. The position of a condi-
ment can in the kitchen attracted
his notice. In it he found a note
book containing names and adj
dresses.
Now for the roundup he said.
A few hours later SIX persons
suspected as major conSpirators
and a dozen minor figures, includ-
ing paSSerS, were in custody. Two
had been found in a big hotel:
another had been taken from
luxurious suite on the liner Bre-
men.
But the vital link-the evidence
was lacking. The leaders had
not possessed a single counterfeit
when arrested; the raiders had
not found press, plate, single
item to serve as a keystone of
evidence. The note book in itself
proved nothing.
It's, deeply concerned, was in
Il his office. In the morning
shrewd lawyers would get his
prisoners out on bail; he had no
case that would stand up in court.
The fog in the harbor, which
was creeping into the old custom
house, was no denser than the
gloom in the bureau.
T-3, at his desk, was surrounded
by photographs of criminals, piles
of faded counterfeits. In the next
room phony coins sounded their
hollow clinks as they were as
sorted.
T-3 fumbled with a heap of
Mint Gang" notes, studying them
under a strong light.
There was something about
them-something reminiscent. 1t
was as though he were looking at
familiar face and could not place
it. Why was this?
He snapped his cigaret lighter,
but it would not work. Since the
paper matches had burned him he
had tried to avoid their use. But
there might be some among the
papers on his desk.
AS he searched among them,
awkwardly, a small white card
slipped into view. T-3 stared at
it, fascinated.
There was the resemblance! The
card Of Harry Mills. It had the

CITY IS IN QUANDARY
BY SAM KNOTT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO March 16.-The city
of Chicago, which struggled along
for a month with no mayor to rule
it, faced a suddenly reversed and
even more pulling situation today
in having a mayor" with no power
to rule.
The city was virtually without a
mayor, for three weeks ago the late
Mayor Anton j. Cermak was shot
by an assassin in Miami, Fla Ger
mak's death made it mayorless in
fact.
After hours of bitter debate, the
city council selected Alderman
Frank J.. Corr Tuesday night to
succeed Cermak Temporarily The
56-year- sharp-faced Democrat
assumed control" as a puzzled
crowd watched him ascend The
mourning draped rostrum where
Cermak had presided. He was hailed
as the new mayor" but today it
was admitted he has little if any
authority to act
Title Is Disputed
Even Corr's title is in dispute.
Some call him the acting mayor.
Others say he is mayor pro tenn. &"
Still others salute him as the mayor
de facto." His wife laughed when
called the citys first lady" Corr
himself says I'm just temporary.
Cermak was more than mayor of
ffhIpDnn ITo ttt1oI thn noV1 : II,
party in his state and was a figure
in national politics.
After his death, Democrats select
ed gray-haired Patrick j. Nash as
their new boss" Without warning
Nash announced at the first caucus
II have picked Jimmy Quinn to
be chairman of tonight's council
meeting and Frank Corr to be tenn
pOrary mayor. You selected me to
be your leader. Now let's see if the
new leadership will operate"
1t did.
Revolt Is Result
Some of The leaders of the old
Cermak organization revolted. Al
derman John BoWlers, who was
present when Cermak was shot, was
among them. They did not object
to Corr, but to the steam roller"
manner Of his selection.
The regulars" stood fast, how
ever and elected Corr as mayor
pro tenn" or, as several aldermen
put it, whatever you want to
call it,"
Doubt over Corr's powers arose
from a decision by Corporation
Counsel William H. Sexton that the
council had no authority to select
a temporary mayor.
Some politicians considered it
significant that despite this ruling,
it was Corr who won the post.
Chicago Is Puzzled
Alderman Jacob Arvey led the
fight for Corr. He admitted during
debate that it might prove advis-
able later for Corr to resign.
Illinois law provides that a mayor
shall be chosen by special election.
1t does not provide for selection
of temporary mayor. A bill has
been introduced at Springfield to
remedy this.
Meanwhile Corr took Office" and
tactfully avoided answering ques-
lions. Lawyers disagreed over
whether he had any power. He
sat in the place of the ruler, but
he did not rule. Chicago is very
puzzled about it.
