Victory for Executors Judge Denies Framing an Issue
Judge Gunster refused to order an issue to frame the proceedings against the Wyoming Manufacturing Company to test the validity of judgments in the estate case. The ruling preserves equity rights and does not rule on the merits of the dispute. The petition, filed by Willan Schelh, sought to prevent a sheriff sale and preserve stockholder interests amid questions of note validity and possible collusion. The decision notes the relief sought is purely equitable and not enforceable by a simple verdict.
