The main object was to &ca wheiher the place was all right—whether suybody was {n the store, what tine_they went out, and what Lime they camo in.

Philo apoke up as though they wero cutitled to a chance to get at thie place, 1.4t was burglarized while they were fn the Armory, they were to get their equal share. ‘There was some srgument about that, We walked back with Lamb to Corcoran’s, aml left bim, That was nbout 4 o'clock {n the after- noon.

I nm not positive that that was tho first time we heard about i, 1 don't remember all the conversation that took place, there was 8o much of it. The substanco of it was that we were Lo burfilnrlzu.hmmy’s store that night. We stald io Ott's till nearly noon. Then Philoand I went to Fricdbera's pawn.shop. Fricdberg had asked me to {ntro- duce him to some noted thicves—reliable ones; those that he could depcud on, who wouldn't give him away if ooytbing happened. Philo nso wishd to be introduced to bim, I think wo went'over at 13 o'clock—botween 13 and 1, I wont in first; Philo stood somewhera near the door, and Mrs. Friedberg told me to come fnto the back room. 'Ihers were threc rooms,—thg atate, a slceplng-room, and the kitchon. Twent into tho middle one.

The Court ordered it stricken out, 4] staid~thero about half an hour, and then went with Durphey to Louls Berg's, on Fifth avenue, betweon Van Buren and Harrlson straots, We stald there noout fiftcen minutes, and then went to o gun_store at the corner of Randolph and Clinton streeta.” “\What for?” Col, Van Arman, objucted, but the Court sat down on him. \Ve wout thcro to get .

THE COURTS. The Chicago Building Society Ap= pears Once More. — Dr. Moyer Wants to Got Outee= The Follansbes Litiga= tion. A Newspaper in Trouble--Judg-~ ments, New Suits, Ete, About efghtcen months 2go one W. 11, Peck- ham, a pretended lawyer of Chicago, recolved not a little gratuitons advertising at the bands of the press for seliing out some cases he was pushing ngainst the Chicago Buflding Soclety. It was shown that the practics of the Boclety was to lend maney at the modest rate of 16 per cent, covering it up In this way: If a party trished to borrow 81,000 at 8 per cent for five years, the Company added the five years’ inter- est to the priocipal, naking 81,400, and then divided tha whole sum fnto sixty monthly in- stallments, which were to be pald every montb, By tbls means, at the end of two and a balf years the borrower would have pald half .~ the intercst and also repald halt the priucipal, whilo the Com- pany would coutinue to draw (nterest on the whole amount theromainder of the term, Among the victims of this scheme waa Joseph Bimer, nnd after he had pald nearly all of his installments, he filed a bill to pet out of his hard bargaln, charging that the Company had extorted usury. Judge Farwell decided In his favor, sud ordered the Company to surrender bis notes and trust-deed. Ehortly after, how- ever, Peckham, Simer's attorncy, without the kuowledge of his clent, stipulated In court that s decree for $2,000 should be entered agaloat Bimer. This was doue, and, as 8imer did not know of this plece of rascality untll after the term of court had passed, be was unable to get the decree set aslde. Yeatcrday by took a new step by filing a bill in the Clrcuit Court to have this’ decree sct ssfde on the ground of fraud. e recites the above facts, clisrges that his attorney was bought up by the Bullding So- cloty for 81,600, and that bis property hns been sold under tho decrea and bought in by the Bullding Soclety. The land waa the bouse and lot No. 628 Elston avenue, and alot immediately in the rear fronting on Btlern street. Bimer also goes on to say that after the decrea was thus fraudulently entered sgainst bim, an officer of the Bulldinig Boclety wrote to such ot its borrowers as he heard were Inclined to enter into litigation with it, aud requested them to call at ltsoBice In Chicago. When they did go, this officer, the Sceretary und Manager of the Company, C. R. Brooke, or Brooks, would pro- posa o scttlement. If any objections were made he referred them to the decree In the Bimet aund other cases, and tell them coolly that, in spite of the unfavorable declsion of Judge TFarwell, the Boclety had obtained decrees, 1t the borrowers were stili bold eovugh to fosinuate that the de- crees were fraudulent, Brooks would say that the Boclety had money, and would buy lawyors, dJudges, nnd juries, ori more dramatically, slap hia band on his breeches pocket und say: * Here are your lawycrs, Judees, und Juries.” Brooks and Peckham were both subsequently fudlcted for conspiracy to defraud, aud the Iatter found 1t healthy to fouk anuther cilmate, just in ad- yance of au vfficer who was very anklous to in- terview him, Notwithstanding the 16 per cent Interest, the Bocioty falled to” prosper on fts goins, and, aa is chargod, It {s now lusolvent, oud should be at once put In the hands of n legal nurse or Receiver,who will attend it in its dylug liours and bury it when detunct. Simer, there- fore, praya that the decree nguinst bim may he sot aalde, as nlso the sale of his_property there- under, aud that the Building Soclety may be declared losclvent and its atfalrs wound up by o Receiver, THE SUNEVE ESTATR.
