Suit Against Wilson. After Banking Report. Scheduled For Trial
DES MOINES AP Trial of a $60,000 damage suit by Attorney Lehan T. Ryan against Gov George A Wilson was set for the May term of district court by Judge Loy Ladd. The case had been postponed in January until May at the governor's request during the legislative session. Ryan says the governor's banking department report in March 1940 falsely charged him with receiving $600 in attorney fees from a bank receivership while he was not on the attorney general's staff handling the matter.
