Feeling Against Simms In Columbia Casualty Stock Clash
Stockholders of the Columbia Casualty Company in Fountain Warren and Benton counties convened in Lafayette to seek restitution after a collapse that wiped out most of their $282,000 investment. Receiver James Bingham warned of grand jury indictments as he cited alleged asset misappropriation by Edward J. Tousey Gerry Haynes and former president Nicholas Muller. The group pressed for criminal prosecutions and rejected compromise offers while accusing Dan W. Simms, once a president and organizer, of false statements. Books are described as counterfeit and assets totaled about $60,000 with $56,000 more needed to reach half repayment.
