Trust Company Case Submitted Before Adjourning Court
Judge Frank Bechly adjourned court after a hearing on the Washington Loan and Trust company case. The judge indicated a likely decision next week on whether the trust department will be administered by trustees or the receiver. The matter concerns transferring home builders loans and other trust assets to trustees for debenture holders, opposed by those wanting the receiver to remain in charge. Attorneys for the trustees, the receiver, and the executor of Ella Griffith appeared. The November term ends today with a January 4 start for the next term under Judge G Patterson of Oskaloosa.
