WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 10,
John Ogden of Indianapolis, lost
his Supreme Court effort to com
pel the U. S. Treasury to redeem
in gold, the Fourth Liberty
Bond issue which he held to the
extent of six thousand dollars.
The tribunal refused to review
the decision of the U. S. Court
of Appeals for the District of
Columbia, dismissing the litiga
tion.
Government attorneys contend
ed it was a suit against the Un
ited States Federal Government,
which could not be sued without
its consent.
The Treasury refused to re
deem the bonds in gold, as it did
in another case which the gov
ernment won in the review of
its contention against payment
in gold in cases of Liberty Bonds
when the Treasury call for their
redemption.
