Claim of Father Is Disputed in Fay Bankruptcy Case
A dispute unfolds in Boston as creditors challenge Frank B Fay’s $2559 claim against his bankrupt son Franklin L Fay. The case, before referee James M Olmstead at the federal building, hinges on whether the money was a loan or a gift to shield the son from embarrassment amid proceedings linked to Bigwood & Way. The public sale of the grandfather’s will interest yielded $2250, with potential value up to $45,000, depending on outcomes. The trustee Rufus B Sprague argues the funds were not a loan. both Fay men testified that the money aimed to halt creditor actions and protect the son’s position after a marriage surprise. Arguments resume tomorrow.
