Suits Over Placer Mines Dismissed In Court
Two related cases by Tom Claridge against Carl Bergetrand and others ended in dismissal by stipulation after parallel trials. Jurors heard that Claridge claimed a commission sale of Gold Creek placers to London parties, while the defense argued he failed to fulfill the agreement. Settlements were reported around nine thousand dollars. A separate suit, Little Joe Conway vs Monida Trust, involves medical testimony about a boy's injuries from a shaft accident, with expert witnesses describing potential long term nervous and brain injury outcomes and possible insanity years later.
