Willing To Pay The Reward

An echo of the famous Dexter Savings Bank robbery carne up in :ircuit court last week, the bank filing a bilí of interpleader with the :ourt in the case brought against it by George Bell, vvho sued to recover the revvard offered by the bank for the recovery of the raoney. Accompanying the interpleader was 5750, the amount of feward öftered, which the bank deposited with the court. The interpleader recites that Detective Baker, of Detroit, Deputy Sheriffs Peterson, of Ann Arbor, Stebbins and Bell, and E. F. Chase, of Dexter, all claim to have been instrumental in the recovery of the money and are entitled to the reward. Bell brought suit on April 28 and the bank understands that the others will do likewise, each suing for the full amount. The bank is willing to pa y the money but wishes to pay it to the parties who are rightfuliy entitled to it, and ask that the severa! parties named settle their claims before the court. The bill asks that subpoenas be issued to Bell, Baker, Peterson, Stebbins and Chase to appear before the court and present their claims to the court, and that the court settle the claims as appears just. The bilí also asks that an injunction be issued against Bell restraining him from continuing his suit and against Peterson and the others restraining them from commencing suits to recover the reward or any part of it. Judge Kinne issued the injunctions asked for Saturday and the funds will be distributed by the court, the case probably coming up at the October term.
