Kessler Fights Clear Grit Case Answer and Motives
In the district court, Harry C. Kessler answers the Calvin Geer and Laurence Harris suit seeking a receiver for the Clear Grit Mining Co. and to set aside two deeds. He denies overvaluation of the mine, claims director misconduct after 1890, asserts meetings occurred in Camden, and says books were open. He argues the action serves Heinze interests and was conducted in bad faith. Debts and a 1898 sale to Gillie for 90000 are noted, with proceeds paid to the company.
