Mandamus case arguments begin before Fulton judge
Judge Joh T Pendleton opened the mandamus proceeding for W J Morrison and others seeking a charter denied by the secretary of state. Attorneys argued the petition for absolute mandamus should prevail, citing the law at the time of denial and current law, while questions about railroad route directions and prohibitions on railway incorporations were disputed. Arguments paused with Judge Holden's remarks incomplete and session adjourned to resume next day.
