According to Baggott, Mrs.

Schmidt went on the bond of Marvin Lewis for $200 and this was forfeited in February. Last August she went on the bond of Otis Hackman for $250 and he Skipped out. Subsequently Baggott asked Common Pleas Judge Mason Douglass for an order authorizing him to collect under the bonds. In the Hackman case, Mrs. Schmidt asked for a reduction of the judgment but this was denied.

More recently, Mrs. Schmidt went on a $1000 bond for Floyd Shawhan, formerly operator of the Tropical Gardens and Shawhan failed to answer in court when his case was called and Common Pleas Judge Robert C. Patterson ordered this bond forfeited. Baggott said he attempted to find Mrs. Schmidt's auto so that he could sell it, along with any other personal property she has, but Mrs.

Schmidt has given evasive answers as to the whereabouts of the car, Baggott said. Accordingly, real property she holds title to will be sold, Baggott said, in sufficient amount to satisfy the three judgments amounting to $1450. C. D. Huffman, formerly clerk of courts and Benjamin Peters are also on a Shawhan bond for $2000 and this was declared forfeited by Judge Patters.

Baggott said he wrote these two bondsmen and asked them to come to his office where arrangements for payment would be made.

Nunan called Albaugh a "poker player" and Albaugh countered by testifying that he played poker in Nunan'a basement with him. Nunan called Albaugh a "crap shooter" and Albaugh called Nunan an "easy mark." And so on. Albaugh claims that the sum for which he is suing is due him as his share in partnership ventures in which the three engaged and Nunan denies the existence of any partnership. Additional disclosures of the Dayton Review activities, those of the Dayton Linotyping and a concern known peculiarly as the "Kitty Co." were made at the hearing Friday. The whole matter is being aired through the medium of the suit brought by Albaugh in which he charges Nunan with being, during the later period of the existence of the "Kitty and all of its concomitant enterprises, the greatest beneficiary although profits were to have been split three ways.

And they point out that many, who have long neglected the spiritual riches of the Book of Books, are finding comfort, counsel and guidance between its sacred covers. The Bible Game has the distinction of being the first feature of its kind ever conducted by a daily newspaper, and it is one of the few projects to win the unqualified approval of the nation's leading clergymen of the Protestant. Catholic and Jewish faiths.

He was told by Albaugh that the man was the inventor of a system by which the horse races could be beaten, but Nunan said he evaded that one by 'asking Albaugh if he knew why Cain killed Abel and, said Nunan, when he said he did not, "I told him it was for giving him a bum steer on a horse race tip."
