sion of the deeds giving Mrs. Davis
title to the Locust street property
and the sales contract, of the South
Side house, he admitted, according to
Judge Stauffcr.
Leaving his wife in January, Davis
started another suit, asking the court
for a redivision of the property. In

who at one time worked with Davis,
obtained judgment tor $2,000 against
uavis on iwo promissory notes, oy

serted a first lien on all the real es

Mrs. Davis sold to Schnell, and the
South Side house, purchased on con
tract by Almquist, and the Mander

Thus were Dickcrson, Schnell and
Almquist brought into the case of
Davis aeainst Davis: Schnell, Alm

r.nd father. The son testified the
father told him a "bootlegger placed
the bomb there, but it vent ort too
soon,"' according to Judge Stauffcr.
Judge Stauffer held the original
separation agreement valid and that
Dickerson's lien cannot affect the
property given Mrs. Davis by it. At
torneys in the case were W. R.
Patrick, representing Mrs. Davis;
V. A. Elsasser. representing Mr.
Davis; I. F. Baxter, representing
Mr. Schnell, and John A. Rine, rep
resenting Mr. Almquist.
"And Davis still has" his divorce
