In a stormy session, Walter I Brown Judge John L Hopkins and Col Albert Cox filed Ryan's exceptions to Auditor Peeples report in the L C Wise case. Ryan claims Calhoun King Spalding and Rosser Carter fees of twelve and fifteen thousand dollars and Receiver Kingaberry's twelve thousand are excessive, and asks for a jury referral.
