Security for Costs

Judson Wants It Given in False Imprisonment Cases.

A motion for security for costs has been filed in the case of Lute Bortles vs. Martin Wackenhut, Archine N. Gauntlett and William Judson, on the ground that the plaintiff is financially irresponsible, that the cause is without merit and is brought for mere vexation, annoyance and blackmail.

The motion is based upon the affidavit of ex-Sheriff Judson who states that he believes he has a good defense to the action of the plaintiff in the suit for $10,000 damages for false imprisonment and that he cannot find that the plaintiff has any property subject to execution and continues,

"This deponent further says that said action is absolutely without merit and is brought for the sole purpose of vexation, annoyance and blackmail, and that the statement of facts in the declaration are a combination of misrepresentations and falsehoods.

The same motion and affidavit has been filed in the suit of Walter Bortles against the same defendants, Lehman Bros. & Stivers are the attorneys for the ex-sheriff. The motion will probably be argued some time next week.
