Much Before the Courts Court actions in Sycamore cases
Judge William Fulton presided December 10 1924 in a slate of circuit court orders while Judge Slusser ruled the next day in a notable Dr I S Evans versus William Fredericks case. The decision found no revision or deed cancellation but reserved damages questions to Master Burst with a February 18 1921 filing and a January 8 1924 trial. The Hidalgo County Texas land dispute centered on a $9000 purchase with Liberty Bonds and notes, alleged fraud, and a partial recovery of a portion of the balance. The court ordered an appeal right preserved until the final decree. A separate Chancery Burst report covered the sale of the Gardner Winans property in Sycamore for $2710 to Robert Koch. Finally Caroline Scheidecker Koh received trust funds per the Gletty will, with distribution to her children upon her death, and final discharges granted to William H Wright as trustee.
