Suit Against Newport Hotel Junked By Judge
A suit to declare the Glenn Hotel in Newport state property was dismissed by Campbell Circuit Court Judge Paul Stapleton. Attorney General John Breckinridge argued Monroe Co., a Delaware firm listed as owner, never filed proper incorporation papers to operate in Kentucky. Monroe attorney Charles E. Lester countered that the company is licensed in Frankfort. A Glenn room was the scene of former sheriff George Ratterman’s May arrest, a reform candidate then. Wampum beads, tubular clam and white conch shell beads, were noted with a 1637 Massachusetts value of five shillings per 360-bead strand.
