Organizer Sues G W T Railroad Over Bond Sale
The Gulf and West Texas organizer sues alleging Morrison sought a $1,000,000 profit from a railway bond sale. Fox says he brokered a sale at 85 to 90 cents on the dollar, Morrison repudiated, and the Gulf & West Texas directors reportedly set to sell to Southern Pacific for 4 million. Fox seeks 2 percent commission, or 100,000. Officials call the claim baseless, noting Fox had little to do with Southern Pacific’s involvement and was already paid a salary.
