Judge Denies Davis Request in West Virginia Coke Case
In Cadileston on December 13 the court refused to add John T. Davis of Bluevis to the list of three receivers named for the Colaland Coke Company in a friendly receivership action. Samuel T. Spears argued Davis would aid the estate valued around $2,000,000, while John C. Cosgrove led the defense, noting no charges against current receivers’ qualifications. The court named Free State Senator Gowen C. Arn and former Compensation Commissioner Lee Ott as receivers, ruling adding Davis would not help.
