PLAN No. 759. PROTECTION AGAINST FRAUDULENT COURT ACTIONS

How often it happens after one has applied years of honest endeavor that worthless persons will compel him to go to court to defend his character and property against a charge of fraud. After the case has gone to the jury he still believes that it is impossible for such efforts against you to succeed—that the charges and statements cannot be believed. The jury goes to its room and decides the case. The members are tired and want to get home, so they compromise, which means that the defendant loses perhaps $5,000. He thought it impossible to be robbed in daylight before a court and jury, by perjuries, but this is what has happened. The lying combination has been successful. The court is not to blame and sometimes the jury is not at fault. Doubtless the next few years actions of this kind will be very numerous, as the people who traded property during the war will hatch up all kinds of schemes to regain it.

I have listened for days at a time to men in fraud actions lie before court and jury, and they knew they were perjurying themselves and knew its penalty, but that did not deter them. They were wolves in sheeps clothing, and possibility of money meant more to them, than honesty.

The most effective protection against men of this character is as follows: When one has business transactions he should be sure to obtain a signed letter similar to the following. If the parties to the transaction are honest, they will not take exception to it. If it is a trade give them the same kind of a letter:
