North Carolina fights Dakota bond suit over invalid issues
North Carolina filed an answer denying the validity of ten bonds claimed by South Dakota. The state contends the bonds issued for the Western North Carolina railway era were not issued under proper law, were sold below par, and transferred through collusive schemes to evade constitutional provisions. The filing accuses a private conspiracy involving South Dakota officials and New York broker Simon Schafer to claim full value.
