Heirs of Davis Seek Intervention in Coal Lands Case
The heirs of Henry Gassaway Davis Virell L Highland and William A MacCorkle seek to intervene claiming their stock reflects the purchase price of coal lands owned by the company. MacCorkle and Highland claim an undivided one fifth in 30,000 acres in Gilmer and Lewis counties leased to the company. Since 1927 the company has operated under federal receivership. The draft of the decree of sale was agreed last Saturday after hearings on the intervention petition.
