Wilkerson Defeats Callinan in District Court Case
The district court verdict favors ex sheriff Jalttu M Wilkerson over TF J Callinan in a stock and bill dispute tied to the defunct Columban tailoring company. The stock collateral was claimed by other creditors and later turned over to Cunstogham, with $2,500 at stake. Ralph Ingalls represented Callinan. Welch & Wilson defended Wilkerson. The jury also noted a related claim for $5,000 in damages. The report mentions a celebrated 20 hour Chicago to New York train run during the World’s Fair era.
