Messrs. Pierce Make Statement Regard
ing Mr. I. S. Peebles and the
Offset Matter
To the Editor of The Herald, Sir:
As the press has not carried all the
surrounding facts and circumstances
in connection with the friendly suit
brought by Hon. I. S. Peebles, Jr.,
against Irvin Alexander, Esq., receiver
of the Irish American Hank, we deem
it proper to set forth the same.
This suit was brought by Mr. Pee
bles at the suggestion of Mr. Alexan
der, as receiver of the Irish American
Bank, in order to determine whether
or not Mr. Alexander could allow as a
set off, certain bank deposits assigned
to Mr. Peebles.
A short time after the Irish Am
erican Bank was placed in the hands
of a state bank examiner. Mr. Pee
bles ,as was shown by his petition,
g®nl admitted by the receiver's an
tgwe.r, paid off $1,500.00 indebtedness
to the Irish American Bank, leaving

Last year, I was a physical wreck.
I could not eat or sleep, and was as

At last, I took Thedford's Black

here that two packages of Thedford’s
Black-Draught did me more good than

a balance due of $750.00. Mr. Pee
bles purchased dollar for dollar a
claim of $295.44 from a widow with a
little child, who works every day in
a cotton mill, and who had plaqed her
money in this bank at his suggestion
when he had recovered the same for
her in certain litigation. While he
was under no legal pr moral duty to
assume the bank’s liability by pur
chasing her account against it at its
face value, still there were circum
stances in connection with the matter
which caused him to purchase this ac
count dollar for dollar.
Mr. Peebles also took an assignmenl
from another widow who had placed
her money in this bank at his sugges
tion, out of which he made not one
cent of profit. And these assignments,
together with an assignment of his
wife’s deposit, he urged as a set off
other medicines.

against the $750.00 balance due by
him to the bank.
Mr. Peebles notified Mr. Alexander,
the receiver, immediately after his ap
pointment, that he would pay in cash
the $750.00 before he would be sued,
but that he felt that these assignments
were good. Mr. Alexander stated that
he would be glad to have the matter
determined as to whether or not he
could properly allow the use of the as
signments as a set off, ami that when
a test case.should be made the matter
could then be adjusted.
It was at the suggestion of Mr. Ir
van Alexander, receiver, that Mr. Pee
bles filed a bill against him, a bill to
determine whether or not these set
offs were allowable. After Mr. Pee
bles and ourselves investigated thor
oughly the law, we came to the con
clusion that the first assignment made
him l y the widow who works In the
factory could be legally used as a set
of!, as it was made prior to the filing
of the bill for the receivership, and
tha: the other assignments could not
be used as they were made after the
filing of the bill for the receivership.
Ir. this position Mr. Peebles and our
selves were sustained by the court,
and he was allowed a set off of
$298.44.
In hehalf of Mr. Peebles, prior to
the hearing before Judge Hammond,
we tendered to Mr. Illackshoar, at
torney for the receiver, the difference
between $298.44 and the balance due
by him to the hanks, which he refused
Mr. Peebles' position was sustained
by Judge Hammond under the ruling
of Nixon vs. Ellis, receiver. 118 Ga.,
page 345, in which Mr. Justice Jos. R.
Lamar rendered the opinion.
We mention these facts in connec
tion with this litigation that the pub
lic may understand that this was not
a case of Mr. Peebles buying up ac
counts with which to settle the bal
ance he was duo this bank for his own
benefit, but to protect others who had
placed mony in this institution at his
suggestion.
Is a man to he impugned for as
serting his legal rights, when, es
pecially by asserting them, he benefits
not himself, hut one who had followed
his advice and deposited her money
in a hank, which to the litter surprise
of Mr. Peebles, went defunct shortly
thereafter?
Can It be said by any one, in view
of the facts above enumerated, that
"there had been any trafficking In the
deposits of a failed hank?” ?
Respectfully,

Rome.—A public consistory at which

of the thirteen r.ew cardinals who are
now in Rome, was held today at the
Vatican. It was attended by several

The papal procession which followed

After the consistory the cardinals,
both old and new. gathered in the Sis

met, presided over by the Pope, in the
consistorial hall, where Pius X be
stowed the cardinal’s ring, granted
them the privileges of their position
and named their titular churches.
