Davis Coal and Coke Company Faces Receivership Claim
A bill filed in Circuit Court No 2 seeks a receiver for the Davis Coal and Coke Company amid claims of improper diversion of funds to the Western Maryland Railroad. Plaintiffs Lynch & Read allege the company has no property or assets and acts as Western Maryland’s selling agent, risking insolvency. The defense admits indebtedness but says the Davis firm is an agent with no separate assets. A hearing before Judge Gorter is scheduled soon.
