Ann Arbor R. R.was Garnisheed

, The case of Elizabeth Whitney, plaintiff, vs. the Ann Arbor Railroad company, was on before Justice Doty Monday with Frank A. Stivers as attorney for plaintiff and A. J Sawyer, jr., as attorney of the railway company. The case arose out of the following conditions: One, John Miller, who is in the employee of the railroad company, claims to have given his sister, Mrs. Whitney, two assignments of his wages, one covering his wages for the month of April and the second including April, May and June wages to the 22d of June. These assignments of wages were given to Mrs. Whitney to pay her for board of Miller and his two children and for doing their washing. Miller's wages during this time, to the amount of $30 were garnisheed by Andrew Gibson and that amount was paid into court by the railroad company. Mrs. Whitney now brings suit for the full amount of Miller's wages, $64.75, which she claims under the assignments. Miller claims he took each assignment to the Ann Arbor office of the railroad company and gave same into the possession of the proper official. The company admits receiving one, but denies receiving the other. Attorney Stivers says he served notice of the assignments on Mr. Wills in person so that the company certainly had notice of the assignments.

The railway company, besides denying the receipt of the second assignment, claims the assignments were made to defraud. But no evidence was introduced to show fraud.

Justice Doty reserved his decision.
