Morse fights involuntary bankruptcy plea in court
Charles W Morse and his counsel filed a demurrer and answer in U S District Court to an involuntary bankruptcy petition by Receiver Hanna of the National Bank of North America Frank Co Pringle and Edward D Shotwell. Morse denies insolvency asserts collateral transfers were proper and seeks jury determination on solvency. He alleges misrepresentations by petitioning creditors and that securities were pledged to satisfy a preexisting debt without preference. He explains a failed defense in Smith suit and seeks to vacate judgment while noting additional collateral transfers prior to filing.
