Injunction Sought to Halt Petworth Real Estate Sale
The Petworth Real Estate and Improvement Company fights a deed of trust sale in Washington’s District Supreme Court. Plaintiff Austin P Brown seeks to block trustees Clarence Rheem and Alexander Hencey from selling the Petworth subdivision and to declare the deed a fraud on certificate holders. The petition requests a receiver and disclosure of any funds advanced, naming Brainard Warner and others as alleged conspirators who concealed unincumbered lots to shore up the deed. The matter links to the Reuben M Frank case, which orders separate advertisement of 38 lots then possible whole-sale sale of 261 lots if funds fall short.
