Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Case Ends In Settlement
A Superior Court decree by Judge Bell approves a settlement in the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance dispute. Attorneys fees total 48 140 with 5 000 paid on Armistead claim of 200 000. State objections linger as assets are to be sold March 10 with no less than 200 000 to the state, and fees distributed among several law firms and individuals. The Armistead claim and other interests prompted surprise, and the hearing was cut short when decree was abandoned.
