Judge Newman trimmed claims by New York Destructor against Atlanta for 155000 interest and 50000 reputational damages.

Crippled shoemaker arrested in counterfeit ring
Jyor Sloan, a crippled shoemaker of 34 Marietta Street, was brought to Atlanta police headquarters Saturday evening charged by Officer O R Jones with manufacturing and passing spurious coins. Captain J M Wright of the U S secret service cited the rise of counterfeit money in Atlanta. Sloan admits knowing the coins were fake and says they were given by Marinus parties to be plated. A confession tied Sloan to the case, with Dr Carly, a longtime Atlanta physician, connected to the scheme. Police had previously seized small sums of counterfeit money and are expanding the investigation amid arrests of several other involved negroes sentenced in federal court for similar crimes.
