Binga Saved From Eviction Because of a favorable ruling last week in Renters Court by Judge Leon Edelman, Jesse Binga, reputed former millionaire and head of the Binga State bank, escaped eviction from his old South Parkway home where he has lived since his recent release from Joliet prison, after serving three years of a 1 to 10 year sentence for embezzlement. C. H. Albers, receiver for the defunct bank at Thirty-fifth and South State Streets, sought to obtain possession of Binga's home, claiming that Binga mortgaged the property as collateral for a $20,000 bank loan to a friend. Judge Edelman ruled in Binga's favor, citing a technicality. He said he could find no proof in the court records that due notice in writing was given Binga by the receiver. Attorney Milliam P. Greene, representing the receiver, was not in court when the ruling was handed down but said later he would file a motion to vacate the judgment within the next few days. He said written notice was served on Binga before the suit was started.
