Court Seeks Ownership Of Carl Case Fund
An unfolding Marshfield civil action involves W E Wheelan of Grand Rapids versus United States Fidelity and Guaranty Co. over about 800 in attorney fees for the Marshfield city claim. The company counters with a 2500 claim alleging funds from Carl's mother and sister were paid to Wheelan for defense and other purposes, with records suggesting connections to Carl's legal proceedings and possible interference with criminal action. The trial, possibly in spring or fall, will test dual roles of Wheelan as attorney for both sides and the provenance of funds tied to Carl's case.
