The 1937 law requiring return of unclaimed deposits was voided on technical ground.s. but it rules that Sheriffs and ex-Sheriffs of Phila¬ delphia may keep as their personal property all "Sheriffs fees" collected i -.vhlle in ofllce and not returned to the original depositors. The ruling favors ex-Sheriff Charles Unangst again.st charges brought by ex- Cninty Commis.sionrr Stiles and County Commissioner Sandt.

CHARLES H UNANOST
NEW SUPREME COURT RULING AN- NOUNCED TUESDAY
Affects County Case
According to an announcement made Tuesday by flve Justices of the Supreme Court, the State law passed in 1937 which would have compelled the Sheriffs ither to pay the "fees" back to their legal owners, or to turn them into the City Treasury; was declared unconstitutional.
The 1937 law requiring return of unclaimed deposits was voided on technical ground.s. but it rules that Sheriffs and ex-Sheriffs of Phila¬ delphia may keep as their personal property all "Sheriffs fees" collected i -.vhlle in ofllce and not returned to the original depositors. The ruling favors ex-Sheriff Charles Unangst again.st charges brought by ex- Cninty Commis.sionrr Stiles and County Commissioner Sandt.
