Depositors Get Partial Recovery in Corwith Bank Case
Judge Clark of Mason City ruled in the Corwith bank matter last week, granting preferred status to some forged paper creditors. Expected recoveries range from 25 to 30 percent for those claims, while the St. Benedict bank will receive about 10,000 against 813,000. Frank Van Erdewick and the Bank of Kanawha are also allowed claims around 62,000. Haswell Standings’ claim exceeding 30,000 yielded nothing. Litigation may continue on appeal. Nettie Neuberger of Ackley will teach in Wisner township after visiting the Kieslich home. Hue Penning of Ackley and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Burma of Ackley visited local relatives. An anonymous Webster City letter demanding 3,000 from L. A. McMurray prompted police surveillance after a decoy was arranged. The demanding party failed to appear.
