Demurrer Sustained in Logan Industrial Fund Case
In Logan on Monday Magistrate Whitehart sustained a demurrer filed by Edwin L. Ricketts for defendants in the Industrial Fund Trustees suit against William Bush and others. Plaintiffs allegedly lacked legal capacity and misjoined parties, with several causes of action improperly joined and the bill of particulars lacking facts. The case centers on pledges to an industrial expansion fund by about 326 signers, with only roughly 20 percent paid, tied to plans for a shoe factory oil refinery and a clay products firm.
