THE HEINOLD CASE

THE HEINOLD CASE
To the Editor of the Smyrna
Times:
Dear Sir:-As to the crooked
business, injustice and robbery
performed by one Gremminger, a
shoemaker of Odessa, Del, as de-
picted by the Editor of the Smyr-
ma Times, have something to say:
what occurred before the Judgment
note came into my hands, I do not
know. 1t is only necessary for me
to clear myself, after 1 became
possessor by lawful assignment to
me for value paid to assignees,
that the public may know exactly
how the case stands since I became
assignee of the paper. The judg-
ment note was dated 1859, 1 pur-
chased it about 1860, and duly as
signed before a respectable wit
ness. Now as to why the judg-
ment note did not sooner turn I'D
not until 1S88-when the suit
was brought. I will state, that i
enlisted in 1861 in Company D, 2nd
-astern Shore, Maryland Volun-
teers for three years. When 1 left
home, I placed the Judgment in an
old leather book and having been
three years in the service of the
U. S. the fact of the existence for
time slipped my memory until I
had occasion to overhaul the old
book, and papers, sometime after
the close of the war and found it.
some twenty vars afterwards and
then concluded from that date
1859, that it must have been out
by limitation.
BY consulting my attorney and
finding out that the defendant left
the state of Delaware in 1861, pos
sibly to avoid the late unpleasant |
ness did not care to shoulder arms,
and returned long after the war
was over. My attorney stated
that he thought the judgment
might be good, and collectable.
But before bringing suit in 1888, I
wrote to the defendant, Mr.. Helm
old, and told him to come and see
me in regard to said note; gave
him 80 days or more to come for
ward. He failed to do so. The
mistake that Mr.. Heinold made,
was in not coming to see me in his
me, no doubt the matter could
have been settled more satisfac-
-orily. But Mr.. Heinold came UP II
ike man with Deputy Sheriff
Hayden to my attorney and they
the matter by Mr..
paying the nice little sum
of S116.43.

the selection of the leading inter-

In the national competition
sponsored by the organization of
grouches, Ned Sparks, who makes
. living by being dour in motion
pictures and on the radio, ran a
close second to Ickes. Third place
went to Donald Duck, movie car

Although Ickes has spurned the
honor accorded him, he will be
