LAWYER'S SAFE RAUL
BUCHAREST, May 1. Recently a Rumanian K‘'l. Inna Mikal.v, who claimed compensation for the loss of both legs in a railway accident near Orad in 19211, was awarded about £2,000 Tiy the courts. But the direction of railway's in Rumania is in the hands of the State, and there was no hurry to pay. The girl s lawyers, therefore, accompanied by police and a bailiff, went to the booking office at Orad Station armed with the last judgment of the Court of Appeal and invited the hooking clerk to pay on the spot. He refused, locked the safe, and indignantly left the office with the keys in his pocket. Thereupon the lawyers sent for a locksmith and ordered him to break open the safe. It was a difficult task that lasted until late at night, but at its end the bailiff secured much more than the amount of the judgment. Next morning the girl was handed her rightful share, and the rest of the money was deposited at the local Treasury. The lawyers state that their violent method of securing their client’s money is in full accord with local laws.
