If Municipal Judge Donald R. Freeman finds that he is

somewhat unpopular with certain finance company attor-|

neys. it will be because the judge simply asks too many

questions.

Last Monday, - Feb. 17., Jude
Freeman received valuable finance Lessons.-He had fire deferency siute on docket. Judge
Freeman was reluctant to grant
three judgments until he had
Satisfied himself that the defendants~ rights were protected
although they were not present.

He was unable to fathom how
the finance company consistently
asked for a $500 Judgment. The

ON TRIAL i
ABORTION CASE.

Dr. Gilbert Edwards, 51, of
~T7T40 LaSalle, charged with manslaughter, went on trial last week
before Recorder~s Judge Joseph
A. Gillis. The doctor is charged
with the~ 1956 death of a 33 -year-old woman who died after
he allegedly performed an illegal
operation,

Dr. Gilbert is also under sen~tence of 2 to 5 years for conspiracy to commit abortions. The
sentence was imposed by Recorder~s Judge John P. O~Hara.

attorney explained that in some
eases he was at a loss as te
the method used. He suggested
that in many cases the amount

exceeded $500 but for practical |

reasons the amount was cut sc
the suit could qualify for the
lower court.
Judge Freeman was informed
of the meaning ef ~book value~
~eurchase. cost~ ~resale value~
~wholesale. auto auction~.
He painstakingly asserthined the

&

various: prices and costs. In one |
case he cut the judgment by
$100 because he felt the judgment
was excessive. He noted that
as much as one third of the
interest was earned by the com:
pany on a thirty month contract
although the car was repossessed
after four months. This was determined by the amount of rebate given the former. owner.

Denossessed auto owners can
rightfully feel that they have
someone who will read the fine
lines before imposing a judgment
against them whenever their case

appear before Judge Freeman.

~Hughes brought Gardner Travis into the business. They had

~Now Cooper had sold Charlies

should have offered to buy the
stops from me as I did from

After a segment of the Negro
Community reacted to the burning cross, it was more evident
that police were concerned. They
even began looking for the cross
which was seemingly unimportant a few previous hours.

At the monthly meeting of
the NAACP, a report was made
on the cross. burning. The report
stirred the meeting.

A- committee was delegated to

Police Chief-- George~ B. Paul
