Ruling lets state recover funds from Fidelity and Deposit
The Arkansas Supreme Court ordered Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland to pay the state $3,264.70 for funds allegedly misused by former Secretary of State Ed F. McDonald in 1933 35. The decision overruled a lower ruling that the liability be shared between Fidelity and American Surety and clarified bonds protecting the state against shortages or fraud by a disbursing agent. It also covers related rulings on damages for a Missouri Pacific collision and Workmen’s compensation cases, and notes on unemployment rating and tea import trends.
