Sailstad Insurance Case Dismissed by Judge's Order
In Superior Wisconsin the Sailstad insurance dispute ends as Judge Tuise dismisses the case with costs and sets aside a $11,255,148 judgment. The action by Mrs. Sailstad-Richardson sought compensation for a policy payout contested in 1924 after Sailstad's alleged fire death and later arson conviction. The case involved Vallisia Cadigan and multiple defense attorneys, and higher court actions leading to remand and dismissal. The decision directs dismissal without costs for both sides.
