ONE MAN GOT HIS TONTINE MONEY

TWO CASES SETTLED IN THE CIRCUIT COURT

William Pickard Jr. Sentenced to Ionia for Resisting an Officer--Jury Has Gone Home

   The jury in the circuit court has been dismissed until November 10.  Only one jury case was tried, that of William Pickard Jr. for resisting an officer.  Patrolman Harris Ball, it will be remembered, was the officer resisted, Pickard  and his father both going after him. Pickard was found guilty and Judge Kinne sentenced him  to 18 months in Ionia.

   Sam Burchfield took two judgements for $260.86 against the New Jersey Tontine Co., for two shares he had in this company.   He got judgments in the lower court and the case came up on appeal, security being given.  The company thus had to settle.
