Only $3,000 Damages

Only $3,000 Damages.

The Cavanaugh case has given rise to several legal complications. Frank C. Demosh, last Friday, commenced suit in the circuit court against Florus S. Finley and Constable Stephen Hutchinson, of Ypsilanti, for false imprisonment, laying his damages at $3,000. The legal documents were drawn by Samuel W. Burroughs, and sat forth, with much verbiage, how Demosh was, by force and arms, taken from his house and compelled to go along a public street to Justice Frank Joslyn's office to answer, in common with certain other defendants, to a complaint made by Mr. Finley. George Cavanaugh, the young Ypsilanti dealer, so many times arrested of late on charges of false pretense or concealing property, owed Finley $96.76 and Finley charged that he assisted by Frank C. Demosh, Elmer Sears and George W.Gill, of Ypsilanti,in removing the property from the county. Demosh and Sears were brought before Justice Joslyn, December 27, and signed a recognizance for $200 to appear the next day. On this day Finley failing to appear against them, the case was dismissed. Demosh thinks he ought to have $3,000 for the indignity he suffered.
