Cotton Kings Sued Over Cotton Grader Patent
Daniel J. Sully and John Hays Hammond with Harris Hammond are named defendants in a DC Supreme Court suit brought by Lemuel A. Greene of Greenville South Carolina to recover Greene's patented methods for grading cotton. Greene alleges sale of the patent to John J. Welch for $50,000 cash and stock, with Welch transferring to a Farmers' Cotton Grader Company and later to the Hammonds and Sully. The suit seeks return of patent rights and accuses the defendants of defrauding Greene.
