Record-breaking jury verdict in Kemp v Polk Sanitary Milk Co
A court in Judge Leathers' chamber heard a swift trial in which Frank Kemp sued the J T Polk Sanitary Milk Company for Sundays worked and daily wages. The jury, impaneled and instructed in a half hour, returned a verdict for Polk after evidence showed no prior demand for pay and an agreement to Sunday work. Edward L. Barnett seeks a receiver for the Lorraine Hotel Company amid claims of a “freeze-out” by Meidners Hopkins, alleging loss of control, cash mismanagement, and unlicensed hotel bar operations. Judge Leathers set a 9 o'clock hearing.
