Apparently Alson T. Cole has been
so busy dodging the electric chair
f.;r several months past that he had
no time to think ef a civil cause of
action upem which he brought .-.ait
in county court Friday af!ernoon.
Th.' defendants named in his petition
are the Liainger Implement company,
the Lininger Automobile company,
Riley, firs; name unknown, and J. A.
Culien. The Defendant Riley is al
leced to be the manager of the auto
mobile department of the Lininger
companies mil Cullen is said to be
a salesman. Plaintiff asks judmcni
for $500 against the defendant.
It is alle ged by Cole that m Maie..
"1917. he was the owner of an Over
land automobile of the value ef $"(;.
He made a trade with defendants,
giving them his car and a cheek for
$.T0(). signing to this cheek the name
of Allen Vincent Grammer. The
check was given wi'h the knowledge.
auMiority and consent cf Grammer
ami was drawn on a Palmer bank.
For bis car and this check he received
from defendants an Oakland six car,
which he at once drove to the home
of Grammer at Palmer.
Shortly thereafter Grammer told
him that be would not pay the check
and he bad better leave the country
at once or the defendant would senel
him to the penitentiary for forgery.
A week late'r the defendants went to
Grammer and elemanded that he pay
Mie e-heek. which he refused to do.
Instead he gave them the Oakland
car.
The- plaintiff asseris that he did
not learn of tin's transaction until a
year later, when he demanded of de
fendants that they reiurn to him his
Overland car. They tailed and re
fused to give him Ue car and he now
sues for its value, $500. State
