Hearing Postponed in Midland Motor Case Until Next Week
Judge Ariel Hammond Urner announced postponement of the receivership hearing for the Maryland Motor Machine Company to next week due to other court business. Testimony by Amond Clary showed owner Kehne owed $22,500 to Commercial State Bank, later offset as the new corporation assumed all debts. Clary’s bank records reflected a small current balance and prior large withdrawals, with the stockholders’ petition and investigation continuing in the court.
