Seeks To Avoid Payment

Seeks to Avoid Payment.

Jerry W. Thomas of Polkville, Ky., has filed a petition in the United States court praying to be declared bankrupt. Some time ago Miss Lucy Garrison sued him for $10,000 damages for breach of promise and after a bitterly fought trial was awarded a judgment for $4,000. Since then she has made many efforts to collect the money, but Thomas has managed to escape payment. His petition is his final and greatest stroke in that direction. He recites in the document that he desires to be relieved of the liability. His schedule shows his assets to consist of three suits of clothes and a watch.
