FORMER CLERK GAINS VERDICT Milton C. Werling Given Decision In Suit Against Bank Milton C. Werling. former clerk of the Adams circuit court, was the victor today in a suit brought against the Old Adams County Bank and several of its directors The suit was brought in the Adams circuit court to recover money Werling had deposited in the bank, which bad been turned over to him in trust. This included such items as trust funds, cash bonds, fees of county officers, \etc. The total amount deposited by Werling was not named in the complaint, due to thp fact that part of It had been refunded in the regular distributions. Judge Huber M, DeVoss today, while not making the money deposited In the closed bank a preferred claim, did order it paid. The following directors signed the guarantee that the money would be paid: John Tyndall, John Ever- , ett, L. C. Waring, Leo Yager. J. G. Niblick. Harry R Moltz. Edgar Mutschler. Ezaies W. Dailey and George T. Btlrk. They also are liable. Under the terms of the ruling by', Judge DeVoss, the directors named will he responsible for the amount due Werling after the last distribution is made by the bank. Distributions Made Some distributions had been ■ made before the complaint was filed. Due Werling at the time the suit was brought was $6,169.59 Since that time $4,571.43 has been paid, leaving a balance of $1,598.16 Os the $1,598.16. $492 19 was, placed tn the bank nnder the conn-' ty depository law. Judge DeVoss did not include this in his ruling, 1 due to the fact that it was not 1 secured in any way other than required under the statute and must therefore be considered the same as any other claim against the j bank. This left a total of $1,106.06 due Werling. To this Judge DeVoss added $165 90 as attorney fees,| making a total of $1,271.96 due Werling. However, since the filing of the complaint, distributions have been made by the bank, j which will reduce the total amount, now due. Several suits have already been filed and are now pending against Werling and his bondsmen to re- ( cover the difference between the amount deposited with him and the amount paid by the bank in distributions. The $492.10 which was not included in the ruling was sheriffs fees, deposited under the county depositor law o No Trace Found Os Reported Intruder Policemen Adrian Coffee and Ed , P. Miller were called to the resi- ' denee at Charles Stitzer, Homestead No. 10 last evening, when they reported some one entering the kitchen. No trace was found of the Intruder. o FORMER LOCAL MAN ARRESTED Columbia Patrick Held As Result Os Auto Accident Columbia Patrick, formerly of this city, is being he’d in the Adams county jail, awaiting arraignment on two charges, the aftermath of an auto accident here Saturday night, September 11. Patrick is charged with driving while under the influence of intoxi eating liquor and leaving the scene of an accident. The charges were filed by Prose- i cuting Attorney Arthur E. Voglewede, after Patrick allegedly ran his car into another driven by David Bauman, of thia city, on that date and then fled without report- j ing the-crash. He was allegedly drunk when the accident occurred. Sheriff Dallas Brown went tz? Lima, Ohio Saturday to apprehend ; the former Decatur man after the i charges were filed in Adams cir- i cuit court.

ANNUAL LEGION I CONVENTION IS OPENED TODAY Gov. Lehman, Mayor La Guardia Speak At Opening Session New York, Sept. 20 —(UP) —The American Leg. ,n, opening its 1937 convention in Madison Square Garden, which was decked with flags and martial emblems and saturated with military music, was exhorted j today to strive for the preservation of peace and religious and civil lib’erty. Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, et New York, welcoming his “fellow legionnaires.” uttered a plea f-r an . “ever-vigilant public opinion” to safeguard religious and civil liber,tiee, religious and racial tolerance. ; Lehman said that in the wake of the world war •‘‘The work of cen-' furies has been undone” by dicta- ' torships. Other natkrns, he said, may “turn back to the darkness of the middle ages,” but in this country “we must hold the torch of Jib- ! erty aloft.” “Fanaticis and intolerance.” he said, can be destroyed, “Only by increased good will and understanding." Mayor Fiorello H. Laguardia frJd the 15,000 convention delegates in ! the Garden that “it’s a thrill to have you here.” ‘We have learned a great deal since we marched down Fifth Ave- ' nite to the transports 20 years ago i ; ‘to make the world ea s e f° r democracy, ' ’’ he said. “T.".morrow we march again—We march as exper- : ienced citizens, an army of peace ! 'determined to mind our own business.” The convention was an hour and I 15 minutes ’ate in coming to order. ■ The great hall, which wi’l hold 24,000 persons, was only two-thirds ' full at mid-n. ,rning. The floor of the Garden was a forest of delegation standards, reminiscent of a presidential convention.

September 10, the Chicago ■ resident who amazed the city on ' that day by taking mercury tablets and aspirins by the dozens again went “haywire”’ over the week-end. Officers Roy Chilcote and Adrian Coffee were called to the Central i Soya company Saturday night when i employes became frantic after the i man announced his intentions of leaping to his death from the 110foot roof of the storage silos at the plant. Foiling the man in this attempt, the officers returned him to the Adams county jail, where he has spent considerable time in the past few weeks, while officers were trying to dissuade his suicide attempts. Deeming it safer, he was placed in the large cell block, where he could be kept under the surveillance of other inmates. Suddenly the entire jail was awakened by the weird shrieks and groans of the man, who was I ■■ - - ' (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) O Nappanee Officials Visit Decatur Plant Officials of the Nappanee city power company visited the Decatur utility Saturday on an inspection tour of such utilities in Indiana.

■ Anthony Eden Addresses League Assembly As To Peace Efforts; Loyalist Forces Refused Seat. U. S. FOR PEACE I Geneva, Sept 20 — (U.R) —Great I Britain, admittedly anxious over the international situation front Spain to China, made sweeping j gestures today for United States. German and Italian aid in putting I the world on the road toward better times. The world assembly of the league had just delivered a smashing blow to the Loyalist Spanish government by rejecting its candidacy for re-election to the league council, or governing body, when Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, addressed the assembly. He warned the world that Britain is re-arming to the hilt, and will continue to do so as long as peace is threatened. He said that Britain now is building 450,000 tons of warships, to cost $650,000,000. But he went on with his appeals for a world effort to better conditions by what he said was the only means —removing fear and raising standards of living. He centered on the United Slates. Italy and Germany as follows : 1. United States: Eden said that a British-American commercial agreement would be an important step toward increase of world trade, and he said that it was a fact of greatest importance that of State Cordell Hull had worked ! President Roosevelt and Secretary (steadily for reduction of trade barI riers. I 2. Italy: He said that the powjers had to end the piracy in the | Mediterranean as an urgent matjter. He expressed regret that any i nation should have Iteeu absent from the meeting and stressed that [any suggestions which these naItions- he meant Italy—might have to offer could still be made. j 3. Germany: He offered to discuss proposals for reduction of jcolonial tariffs on a reciprocal I basis. But ne said that the colonial problem itself was not of prime 'importance; that a world freed of fear was the thing to work for. On the third point, he offered in his government’s behalf to negotiate a treaty for reduction and limitation of arms. Spain's candidacy for the council was the assembly’s first business. I It was necessary for the Loyalist 'government to obtain two-thirds ' vote in order to be a candidate for re-election. It obtained only 23 out of 47 votes and thus cea,sed to |be a member of the council. I Spanish Nationalists, here in I force though they have no official (Standing, were jubilant at the lieague’s rejection, holding it to be ias important as a big military victory in that, in great measure, the 'assembly's claim to be the sole legal, properly constituted authority in Spain. The rejection was interpreted as due partly to dissatisfaction of delegates of some countries with (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) DEATH CLAIMS CLARISSA BROWN Lifelong Resident Os Adams County Dies This Afternoon Miss Clarissa Brown, 76, a lifelong resident of Adams county, died this afternoon at 12:30 o’clock.
