Bank Sues Over Governor Eligibility Dispute in Georgia
The Fulton National Bank of Atlanta filed suit in Henry County superior court seeking to halt any withdrawal of 95 682 left in the state executive department fund by retiring Gov Ellis Arnall. Judge Bond Almand issued a temporary restraining order. The case aims for swift review by the Georgia Supreme Court amid a broader bribery inquiry into legislators connected to the 1948 governor's race. The bank cites a bona fide controversy over who is entitled to withdraw funds and notes checks from Thompson's staff totaling over 1000 dollars. Mayor Harvey Kennedy of Barnesville said a state wide meeting would press for investigation.
