Advice Given to Set Lawsuit Aside in Pig-Bly Wiggly Case
Atlantic City May 28. Vice Chancellor Robert H Ingersoll advised that the case of the Pig Bly Wiggly Company Inc of Delaware not Elwood R Bartlett be set aside. The suit sought return of about 100000 allegedly taken from the treasury by Bartlett with Weissman and Hostatler selling stock to the extent of 100000 without differentiating it from no par value stock. The money was later withdrawn and the inference is it was divided among the defendants. The stockholders and directors knew the stock was sold at no value and the money went into the company funds.
