...from a Monticello mortgage broker who collected $4.90 on a $2,500 claim. At Cherokee, Okla. an attorney for Equitable Life was driven ten miles out of town and dumped from a deputy sheriff's automobile when he started to foreclose on a widow's farm. At Pine Bluff, Ark. a State judge, presented with 500 foreclosure petitions, intoned: "The case against the debtor will be continued for the term. I'm not going to foreclose on any farm where the people . . . have any chance of pulling through." A judge at Magnolia, Miss, likewise declined to force...
